Sorry for all the posts today. It’s how I am – nothing for a while, then all at once. ;)

I realized that since we’re not going to be doing an injects/IUI cycle that means we still have one IUI cycle left – we could do a clomid/IUI cycle. The IUI itself is covered seperately from and wouldn’t affect our IVF coverage. And the clomid itself is so cheap we can afford that ourselves. 4 cycles of clomid – yeah, okay, that’s probably pushing it. But then I’d be taking two cycles off before starting IVF. I mean insurance is jerking us around with these limitations – I at least want to use everything I’m given. Just in case the third IUI is the charm. I think it would give me some finality before moving on.

And yes, I said two months off after the next one. Looking at my upcoming cycles chart I’m eyeing my May cycle for starting IVF. Baby conceived in May would be due in February, and I like that. January is still so close to Christmas. February is a good month. Waiting until May seems like a long time, but it will give us time to do the lap, take the classes, save some cash, and mentally prepare.

So yeah. I’m feeling much better about everything this evening. I guess I just needed to wallow for a few hours. Typical me. :) I just hate changes to my schedule – especially when it’s not my idea. (It’s part of my obsessive-compulsive – I used to totally freak out at Den when we first started dating because he liked “surprizing” me with things. I’ve gotten a hell of a lot better, but when it comes to major decisions I still hate surprizes.)

PS – The binder the RE gave me about IVF is huge. Full of info. I love it. :D
