Second Follicle Check

These feelings that I am overwhelmed with right now, I remember them all to well. The feeling of anger and defeat all at once. Defeat, and it's only been 8 days on the stims. Today at our follicle check, we learned that our follicles have not matured from the last visit. There are still a bunch of follicles measuring 10mm and under. My lining was measuring at 7mm. My E2 levels from 4 days ago is 58. I am suppose to continue my treatment for 4 more days and go back in on Sunday. The issue is that I'll be out of meds on Sunday and will need to refill. The problem with getting a refill is that the facility we go to does not provide the medication that I need at the price that I was getting it at prior to starting up again. Financial problem much? Eh, I have to say no. The problem is that I feel as if we are "wasting" money when we can go and get into IVF and our chances conceiving will be higher, and the money that we are "waisting" will be put towards a higher chance of having our baby.

 

Do I sound selfish? Am I rushing things? I feel like I'm being selfish and possibly rushing things. But, we've been actively trying for 4 years now. I can't even begin to tell everyone the amount of money that we have spent up to date and still have no baby. Not to mention that as time continues to pass my patience is wearing thin. I have no patience for my RE, or the staff anymore, no patience for a Dr that does not listen to our "financial needs". I have been doing some online research on centers in my area that offer IVF. I've come across an awesome Fertility Center that's main locations are in Virginia and Maryland. I got discouraged knowing that I would have to drive anywhere between 2-4 hours to see an IVF specialist. Today after my discouraging appt I started searching again, and I found out that the Fertility Center that I want to go to has a center about 36minutes away from me! This is a full service clinic and I won't have to drive those 2-4 hours to do the IVF. I am coming up with some questions for them and I plan on setting up a consultation date with them to figure out who they really are and what they have to offer me.

 

I will say that they have an IVF refund program. I am totally interested in this program and am hoping that if we do not qualify for this program that we may qualify for one of the many programs that they offer. The only problem is that I have not been able to call them since I've been at work, and they're only in until 4pm. I have to find some time to get more information from them and maybe even set up a consultation.

**UPDATE**
My nurse called while I was working and spoke to my husband. My E2 levels must be up because the nurse told him that I need to come in on Friday instead of Sunday. I've been trying to call her to get my E2 levels, but not having any success getting ahold of anyone.
