IUI to IVF?
Post Body

At what point did you decide to move from IUI to IVF? We did two rounds of IUI and my wife and I want to make next month our last cycle of IUI. I'm starting to feel really defeated and have had a really hard time getting out of bed this week. As far as I know, I don't have any fertility issues but am getting more tests done to confirm this. I'm also scared that I will spend a ton of time and money on IVF, since our insurance doesn't cover any of this for same sex couples, and then it won't work. Starting to also just get paranoid that I'll never get pregnant, which is probably irrational, but it's such a miserable process. I'm finding it so hard to stay busy, particularly when I see that the IUI doesn't work. Just any advice on feeling your feelings and staying positive? I have the best wife in the entire world, am joining a an LGBT Fertility support group, am in therapy and an LGBT general support group, but still feel like total shit. Just super helpful to hear from others if/when they decided to make that switch in addition to ways of staying positive. Thanks!!
