I had the insemination done yesterday, and Jeff was nice enough to take the day off and come with me. The only part of it that really hurt was when I had to hold my hips in a certain position, because that aggravated the bursitis. Other than that, I had a lot of cramping when I got home, but I feel better today.
Jeff and I have decided definitively that this will be our last course of treatment. I really needed to try this so that I didn't have to play the "what if" game for the rest of my life, but now that we have given treatments a real try, I am ready to move on. It is so expensive, for one thing, but even more than that, it is very hard on me physically and emotionally. If we do not get pregnant - and if I'm being honest, I really don't think we will - then I am going to finish my degree, get a teaching position, and we will buy a house. After that, adoption may be in our future. For now though, we just have to wait and see. It is a relief to have the treatments behind me, and that is the part on which I am trying to focus.
Cost of Insemination: $260
