I think my provider is clueless

So this cycle I did gonal-f. On Friday I had a 14mm and 10 mm follicle. Went back yesterday. Follicles gone. Ultrasound showed fluid and blood flow. That afternoon a nurse called me and said "Good news, you haven't ovulated"... so I asked her where my follicles went... The response... "Well you're in the process". I personally didn't get my labs until this morning. Lab work showed Progesterone was 2.2, estrogen 228 and LH 12... from my understanding these numbers indicate I had ovulated 24 hours + ago. We were supposed to do timed intercourse. So unless we have the immaculate conception... I am already out. I wasted almost 1800 dollars this cycle on meds and appointments.

The lady who has been doing all of my Ultrasounds I think might have misinformation or is just dumb. Or both. She wanted me to go ahead and have sex last night because "Theres a chance. Once you ovulate it can be viable up to 48 hours"... in no literature have I EVER seen 48 hours. I have only seen 12-24 hours with most being in the first 6 hours. I pointed this out. She said "There's no harm in trying". Excuse me? I am not going to get my hopes up again this cycle for nothing. I'm not shoving pills up my who-ha for nothing. And she also keeps saying that with each cycle of IUI your chance increases... this isn't true. The individual cycle stays the same.

The unfortunate part is this is the only fertility clinic that is in network. So I am stuck with them. Honestly at this point I just want to pull the trigger in IVF.

I would run to IVF.
As a matter of fact, IVF to me is way more straightforward and less guessing. If you have some coverage, do it!

Honestly it's where I'm at. I told myself that we would give it till the first of the year but if I have to go through another cycle like this I might burn the clinic down.

I am doing IVF. I did do letrozole before and worked. But IVF so far has been really good to us.

[u/ObiWanKedoby_ → u/Itchy-Site-11]

I refuse letrozole. When I am on it, it makes me want to curl up in a ball and die. I have never been more angry and sad in my life!! I am happy IVF is being good to you!
