R's parents will be visiting her July 1-4th as their goodbye trip before they go back for a 2 year assignment to Papua New Guinea.
IUIs are a possibility but for 7-8 months from now at a minimum. Reason is that clinics will require Tarzan's sperm to be quarantined for 6 months. He and I will talk about it soon, but honestly it's going to add a whole lot of time and expense into this process - all of us will have to have lots of testing, none of which will be covered by insurance. My initial thought is that I don't want to do it, however I'll have that conversation with Tarzan. Without having discussed this with him, I would like to try for 4 more times and if it doesn't work; to walk away and move on with our lives as a family of 2. I'm losing my desire to keep trying until we win. The financial and emotional cost is just too much.

How frustrating! I think it is a great idea to have an endgame in sight - going "til you win" is great if you win in the first inning or two...Six times seems like enough to see if it's going to work though. Had no idea they would quarentine the sperm - crazy. When we did it I guess they weren't worried since it was DHs sperm? And while my situation does NOT equal yours, I must say I feel great peace at going my 6 times and stopping. Life is good. Take care and best of luck in August!
Nothing is ever easy, eh?
