Frustrated

I'm feeling stuck again. We're on our third month of the triple medications, and nothing's happening. I'm feeling like things aren't moving forward at all, and I'm getting frustrated. We're going to the doctor on Tuesday for a pre-op appointment for laproscopic surgery to look for endometriosis. Part of me wants to do it, but part of me is terrified of the recovery time and the cost. I'm also terrified of the result, either way. If they find something, it might mean I won't ever be able to get pregnant. If they don't find something, we'll be stuck again.

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed about all of the things that might be wrong. I keep hearing about these natural treatments, and all of the things that could be wrong with you and it's impossible to know. I've had people tell me I need to do reflexology, chiropractic care (tried it), and lots of other things. I can't help but think that we'll never figure out what's wrong.

My husband and I had the IVF talk today. We're still working on other avenues, but we need to start planning. We're going to start saving for the procedure, and tentatively plan on doing it in November. Our insurance doesn't cover it, so it will be around $20,000, and there is only a 35% chance of it working, so we might have to do it several times before it actually works.

Ugh.
