Things are moving along

Since the last time I posted I have been searching my heart, talking to friends and listening for signs of what to do. I've decided it would be best to head back to the fertility center where they have all the fancy equipment and big opinions. I know if I did the procedure at home and came out of it without a BFP I would always wonder if it was something I did. Now, if I get to the end of this short journey without a pregnancy I can blame the doctor lol.

So...

I scheduled an ever-loving pap for Friday and my intake with the fertility center on March 21.

EEK.

Ouch

I called the fertility center today to get a quote on prices and you could have knocked me over with a feather. $1345.00. That is the cost for one simple round of a lightly medicated IUI cycle. For the very same treatment six years ago it was under $500.00.

I'm not quite sure where this leaves me. I don't know if I can spend that much for one chance. I understand that it's a chance worth taking if it works, but what if it doesn't.  Will I be okay with myself and making that decision if the stick stays white and we're still a "mommy-son" family? Will I be okay if I opt for the at-home approach and the stick doesn't turn blue though? I don't know.
