We did a repeat SA on my DH in December. The morphology increased from 1% (in September) to 7%. I guess the supplements are working. We waited till Jan for the new insurance to kick in. I switched to a new insurance that claimed to cover up to 8000$ for infertility testing and treatment. After many phone calls to the company we have realised that they only cover procedures and not medication. In my case I spend about 2500-3000$ per cycle for medicated IUI's. My nurse thinks that I should consider moving on to IVF to get the most out of my insurance coverage but I am not too sure yet. Both me and DH have our own concerns about IVF and I will have to write a post about that later.
So we started this cycle on Jan 27th with a progesterone induced withdrawal bleed. During my injectable cycle that worked (resulting in DD) 3yrs ago, I used about 30 vials of Menopur. For the Femara-Menopur combination cycle in August I used about 29 vials of medication and for the Sep-Oct Menopur only cycle I used 49 vials of medication. The doctor decided to start at a higher dose of Menopur this cycle in hopes that my body would need less. So far I don't think its working.

CD10: (at the main office)
lining - 9.62mm
rt ovary - 5.98mm, 5.72mm, 4.8mm, 4.31mm
lt ovary - 9.5mm, 8.29mm, 7.41mm, 7.23mm, 6.17mm
estradiol - 59
CD10-CD11: 225IU Menopur
CD12:
lining - 8.7mm
rt ovary - 9.56mm, 7.57mm, 6.1mm, 4.95mm
lt ovary - 9.39mm, 8.15mm, 8.13mm, 8.1mm
estradiol - 53
Since the follicles are all still small and estradiol has gone down they are upping my dose to 300IU for 2 days and I go back for blood work and ultrasound on Thursday. I am already losing hope on this cycle and beginning to think that it will be cancelled because of too many follicles. If that does happen then I am moving to a diff clinic for the next cycle, simply because I believe that this current doctor does not know how to treat me and produce less follicles. I so badly want this to work.
