I finally did it!

I just booked an IVF consult w/Dr. Sherbahn @ Advanced Fertility for July 19th! This was supposed to be my lap date, but that got pushed back once they coordinated all the doctors' schedules (it's now set for Aug 9th).

We were really grasping at straws as to why we are not getting pregnant, and our current RE keeps telling us we don't need IVF. But with S's dismal SA results this week, we have another potential issue that we were completely unaware of before. It now seems the likelihood of egg stimulation, IUI, and progesterone support getting us the result we are seeking is low.

It's kind of ironic because our first RE was awful and wanted to do IVF w/my septum still in, and my 2nd was great to take it out, but now she is totally not concerned about his morph and still thinks we should keep doing inject/IUI cycles. I/we had been trying to avoid IVF if possible, but that was when everyone was telling us there wasn't anything wrong with us.

I am also somewhat comforted by the fact that if we fail the first time, which will max out all of our IF bennies (though Adv. Fert. has the best success rates around), we can look at doing additional rounds OOP in India @ $3-4K/. This makes me more hopeful that we will be able to have a child, eventually, without spending all of our savings. Of course, this is assuming they don't discover any deal breakers during IVF.

Depending on what he has to say, we may or may not do the lap in August. Now it seems like it could be a waste of time/$ if we have to do IVF anyway (which is the recommended work around for endo). Though I would certainly consider doing one if we fail at IVF #1. If I can get/stay pg, they say that alone will likely solve my endo problem.

Here's to moving onward and upward! :)
