Less than 10 %

So when you think of less than 10% I can see hoping for the following
~less than 10% chance you will end up with cancer
~you got less than 10% wrong on a test
~you weigh 10% less than you used to


What isn't so pleasant is when the RE tells you that you have a less than 10% chance at getting and staying pregnant on your own. Where do these numbers come from you ask? My ass most likely. You figure though out of the 30 months I have been off the pill I have gotten pregnant once and lost one. Add that in with my age and the fact that my infertility is unexplained and you get less than 10%.

As far as my insurance goes the booklet states you must do one IUI before you move to IVF. Dr. K stated yesterday that he is in agreement with the British journal about "mystery infertility" and said we would not do anymore clomid rounds or IUI if we didn't have to because he doesn't see it working. I called the insurance company today and now I have a form for Dr. K to fill out. The insurance company might approve me for IVF right off the bat, or they may tell me to do an IUI cycle. Time will tell but I don't see the point in doing a cycle that most likely won't work just to make the insurance company happy.

So we will do one IUI if needed before vacation and then will start with the IVF process when we get home. YIKES!!
