We made a decision

I went in for my saline sonogram yesterday afternoon and all came back clear, which is good.  I almost wanted there to be a polyp in there, so we had a definite answer to my abnormal bleeding, but I am glad that there was nothing there. With something anatomical being ruled out, my RE believes that my bleeding is strictly hormonal, so hopefully much closer observation through bloodwork and ultrasound during the second half of my cycle will be able identify and fix any hormonal problems prior to them happening, therefore getting the bleeding to stop.

With all of that to take in, we needed to decide whether or not we planned on doing another IUI, which would make it our FIFTH or move onto IVF.  We decided that we are going to make the leap to IVF.  With IVF, the success rates are much higher and we feel that we owe to eachother to give it a try.  I never thought that we would have to go down this road, but here we are and we are both ok with it.  We know that IVF is more invasive than IUI, but again we are ok with that.  Most of our family and friends are very supportive, but some are not and to be honest, we are ok with that too.  We don't need approval or disapproval from anyone other than eachother.  I know that those that aren't supportive are that way because they don't know enough about IVF and our situation or they are scared for us.  They are scared because of how we will deal with the outcome if we don't get pregnant, which is our biggest fear too, but we will cross that bridge if/when we get to it. 

In the meantime, we have an IVF class that we need to take and then we wait until my period shows up.  Once that happens, we get our IVF underway. 

Until next time.....xoxoxoxo
