IF therapists

I'm thinking about making an appointment to meet with the therapist on site at my RE's office. Anyone else seeing a therapist only for IF related issues and finding it helpful? I think my insurance covers it but MH suggested I do it either way....so I must be getting out of control if he thinks so because he is our "financial advisor" and watches every penny, lol    Hmm
Anniversary
Me(31): Possibly Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency caused by a mutation in my pituitary genes called PIT-1--Also, Factor V Leiden
DH (31): Borderline low morph, but not considered a problem
"Baby dancing" with no protection or BCP since July 2009
IF testing started March 2011
Endocrinology related tests from October 2011-February 2012
March 2012--Clomid --No response-Straight to injects!
April & May 2012-- IUI#1 & #2 = BFN
July 2012- IVF#1 cancelled
September 2012-IVF#1.2--BFN
November 2012- IVF #2 --BFN
January 2013- IVF #3-- BFFN
February 2013--Found a new RE but first back to the Endocrinologist for more diagnostic testing
Absolutely no idea when we can cycle again...looking into DE as well if IVF#4 fails again
PAIF/SAIF encouraged...give me some hope!!

I went to someone a handful of times between ivf 2 and 3. It helped to get into a good mental state before trying again.  Our insurance covered 90%. Best of luck to you :)

I have been going to an IF therapist the past few months and found it very helpful in terms of coping etc.  Our insurance doesn't cover it so we are OOP. 
TTC since Nov 2010 | Me: 28, DH: 29 | SA & HSG Normal
IF Treatment started December 2011
Late DX DOR after 10 months of treatment | AMH-.23, FSH-11.1
Stag II Endo removed in July 2012
5 Rounds of Clomid(50-150mg), TI & IUI#1 = BFNs
3 Rounds of Femara(5mg) & Prog, TI, IUI#2, IUI#3 = BFNs
Supplements include DHEA, CoQL, L-Caratine, Vitamin C/D/B3, Fish Oil, and Prenatal
March IVF cycle canceled due to cyst
April IVF #1 - Lupron, Saizen, Menapur, Gonal-F, baby aspirin and dexamethasone | AFC 8 >> 9R, 4M, 2F w/ ICSI...looking to do PGS testing...Stopped dividing at day 3.
Retested AMH, dropped to undetectable at <.16.
Trying to decide what to do next...

It's been a huge help to me.  I started one year ago and try to go once a week.  She has helped with coping strategies, suggestions for dealing with family and work stress, and most importantly, she constantly reinforces that what I'm feeling is normal.  I highly recommend it especially if you can see someone who specializes in IF.
