Hi Createjoy,
Don't feel so lost and insecure. I am sure after surfing the motherhood forum, you realize there are alot of ladies out there who are in the same situation as us (I have PCOS). I went thru' a period of anger and frustration at the "disability" of my womb but now I am more zen about the whole situation.
With regards to your question of womb lining and IUI cost, maybe I will share my experience with you so at least you have a feel of the cost involved. I went to a gynae in Mt E. The injection medicine cost $1000-1200. The IUI cost $800. The alternate day visit to gynae (to monitor the growth of follicles) cost me about $600.
With regards to your questions of womb lining, my gynae used the same method as Thistle of starting with injection dosage low to give the womb lining a chance to thicken. My gynae told me that if the lining thickness is not ideal, he will give me medicine (can't remember he said injection or pill as I didn't required it in the end) to thicken the lining to the desired thickness. I did my IUI on D16. Then on D19, my gynae gave me a vaginal insertion medicine to help maintain the womb thickness to help implantation. I am supposed to use from D19-29 (10 days). Maybe you like to check with your gynae on the above information so you don't feel so lost. In my case, i asked my gynae alot of technical qns as I feel at least i am in control of what treatment I want to give to my body. I think my gynae is driven crazy by me..ha..ha..
Hi FelixCat,
When did you do your SO-IUI? I just completed my IUI on 31/5 so now in the 2 weeks' wait (2ww) stage. Lots of baby dust to you and me
