Going to see my RE tomorrow...we have been ttc for 6 mos (5 mos w/o clomid, just one month with) and DH was just dx with low sperm morphology (very low)...RE had thought just clomid and...
(more)
IUI at first, but now thinking IVF. Can't get into the IVF class for another 2 weeks, so can't start IVF now...do you think RE will do another clomid/timed intercourse this month or maybe do IUI? Supposedly you need the IUI "class" before you do it, but it sounds pretty simple to me. Want to do IVF before 12/31 b/c my current insurance is awesome and will pay for everything, don't want to push it off until January.

- are you switching insurance? not sure if the RE will do anything this month, there is often a lot of testing to do before starting ivf. GL to you!! 11-17-2008 1:19pm
- Yes, switching insurance at year end...thought that maybe we could get IVF before 12/31/08...that gives us 6 weeks...enough time, I think? We really want to get it going and RE seemed...(more) 11-17-2008 1:22pm
into it, esp when I mentioned the health insurance aspect!
- np: this is really cutting it close. call your dr now 11-17-2008 1:23pm
- Just got off the phone, doing day #2 blood work tomorrow, will talk to him tomorrow...doing the class Dec. 4th. 11-17-2008 1:25pm
- good luck! 11-17-2008 1:28pm
- if you aren't doing injects, don't bother w/ IUI class. what a waste. just tell him your concerns about the timing and ask if you can bypass the class. i didn't learn much in my class.....(more) 11-17-2008 1:19pm
the nurse can just go over it w/ you before you start stims

- do you have to take the class? 11-17-2008 1:19pm
- np: I think she should take the class if she has never done ivf before. it can be overwhelming if you don't know what to expect. 11-17-2008 1:21pm
- I wonder what the "class" is for IUI. I never had to take a class. I had to meet with the nurse about injectables but that was it. I don't see why you couldn't do IUI/clomid but y...(more) 11-17-2008 1:20pm
might want to hold off so you can do the IVF, also there may not be time to do the IVF before 12/31 if they are going to want you to start on bcp.
- Where are you going? I never took a class. Did 5 IUI's in NYC 11-17-2008 1:21pm
- OK cool...that's what I was thinking. I'm at CWRC, Gary Nakhuda...great guy, very reasonable. He is expediting this b/c I'm 35 and I'd like to get this going for #2. 11-17-2008 1:24pm
