This is my uterus i have half of what is suppose to be there with 1 working tube and ovaries on both sides. The other half that is suppose to be connected is just hanging around having a good time being useless. A unicorn is when the uterus never fully develops which shouldn't have come as a surprise to me as my cleft lip and palette were formed by the tissue never fully developing.
Well the Dr. gave us this news and then told us that we have 4 options. What 4 options? dude you were suppose to tell me the game plan and i would be all happy to go along with it. but no i have to actually make some hard decisions now.
So here are our options
- Keep trying the old fashion way as for someone with 1 tube it actually takes 2 years to be considered having fertility problems. Um if i wanted to keep trying i would have saved myself the $3,000 we have already spent on figuring out what is going on. So i'm saying that this option is a big fat NO!!
- Go ahead and do regular IUI's with an ultrasound ahead of time to see what side I am ovulating on. If its the correct side (my left side) then we will inseminate if not we will try the next month. I'm open to this idea but I don't want to keep doing this forever. The percentage for this is only 15% when its the correct side, still not likeing my odds then.
- Do IUI's but with Clomid to increase the egg production. Again do the ultrasound however if there are too many follicles we can't move forward either as my uterus would not be able to carry multiples. This could be good as the percentage increases to 20% however this could be bad as if too many follicles we couldn't move forward either. if we did option number 2 for three correct side cycles then we would have to move to option 3 or option 4.
- Do IVF this summer. well this always was the thought but we can only put 1 embryo in at a time and if the first time doesn't work then we will have to save more $$ to try again.
I know that we will come up with a good option i just don't know what that is that still allows us to go on vacation, do house projects and achieve our end goal of a beautiful baby.
