So after being told by my OBGYN that she's only giving me two more cycles of Clomid before sending me off to a fertility specialist, I finally bit the bullet and started doing some research about the clinics around me.  Tonight, my DH and I will go to an informational seminar at one of these clinics.  I'm not sure what type of information we'll receive or even if I'll learn anything new (like most of us on these boards, I'm WAY too familiar with everything related to infertility).  But I'm hoping that it will at least help me feel like I'm moving toward something.  I think it'll also make the concept of an RE or specialist attainable - for so long it's something I knew I would probably wind up doing, and I've read about everyone's experiences here, but I just hadn't made that step to call.  So I think that after tonight's seminar, I'll probably make an appointment for a consultation while I'm finishing out these last couple rounds of Clomid.

The thing that frustrates me and causes a certain degree of stress is that I know EXACTLY what I need, which is Clomid + IUI.  I know I can get pregnant with Clomid alone, but with our very mild MFI, we're perfect candidates for IUI.  What I DON'T want to do is spend tons of money (thanks, insurance with no infertility coverage) on diagnostic tests I've already had done before I'll be given this treatment.  I KNOW our problems.  I KNOW how to fix them.  I KNOW how to get pregnant.  I just can't give myself an IUI!  But I suppose sitting around complaining and worrying about these things isnt' going to make me a mommy any faster...  Still, I'm curious how long the wait is between the first consultation and when they can actually do the IUI.  Might be a question for the boards.
