Wow you sound like you took a page right out of our story. My husband and I have been actively trying to get pg for 4 1/2 yrs. Last Feb I was dx w/PCOS and we were faced with the same questions. Our insurance does not cover any infertility treatment and we are not exactly financially wealthy either. We were concerned with trying clomid then having to go to the injectables and not having money left for adoption at the end. We discussed the possibility of skipping the clomid and going right for the injectables as the success rate is higher. Our dr. convinced us to try a round of clomid first, saying if it worked we would be spending considerably less than the injectables or ivf. A little over $2000 later we did not get pregnant. The experience was pretty emotionally draining and we decided take some time to decide what the next step would be. We are currently in the process of adopting siblings through foster/adoption. This is different than traditional foster, the kids are already in foster care and have already had the parental rights terminated.
