Three IUIs with injectables (plus several previous cycles of clomid only) was enough for me.

We all make the best decisions we can with the information we have. Please don't feel the need to justify any of your choices when it comes to this difficult process. As Victoria said, I too pray to see you get through this struggle.CLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030787972960755420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398826425080805683.post-21496272580175226482009-11-01T20:32:28.726-05:002009-11-01T20:32:28.726-05:00everything i am trying to say sounds bossy or defi...everything i am trying to say sounds bossy or definitive or insensitive. and i don't in fact feel any of those things. so how about, we (your readers) know this is shitty and we love you and support you and want for you what you want. and are powerless to help you get there.<br /><br />much love,<br />caroleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398826425080805683.post-27053961203149652522009-11-01T16:05:30.419-05:002009-11-01T16:05:30.419-05:00You can and should only do what you can do when yo...You can and should only do what you can do when you want to do it. No one (here, or IRL) is deserving of an answer as to why. <br /><br />I have followed your blog for a long time and I wish and pray for you to be on the other side of this struggle; having the family you are doing your darnedest to have.<br /><br />Having only done 2 IUIs (and more IVFs that I care to mention) myself, one of the benefits to IVF (even if you don't do PGD) is that you get to see your eggs and their quality AND you get to see how they fertilize and grow. Now, that's not a perfect science, and the loss of your boys was tragically something of it's own, but having had other early term losses, knowing something about your eggs and the quality of the embryos may be another piece of the puzzle that helps bring a pregnancy and live birth to fruition. <br />And, FWIW, even if you sometimes don't feel it, you have amazing strength, tenacity, and perseverance and I am humbled to even be able to support you, mostly anonymously and from afar.Victorianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398826425080805683.post-39615691567857133852009-11-01T15:19:40.497-05:002009-11-01T15:19:40.497-05:00Your list takes me back to my own fertility journe...Your list takes me back to my own fertility journey.

I'm not entitled to it, it's NONE of my business, and I don't want you to feel like you have to answer rude and intrusive questions. <br /><br />The answer to any personal question is always "Why on earth would you want to know the answer to such a personal question.
