One IUI...coming up!

We went to see a new gyno today, my husband teaches this Doctor tennis...that's how we know him. He spent a lot of time with us talking about our history and what we are going through. He thinks my other doctor is wrong for putting me back on the pill. He says it will probably take 6 months (not one or two) of being on the pill to see the effects from it. He suggests I stop at the end of this cycle. He suggested either going on Lupron which would suppress all my hormones (aka menopause) for one cycle and see if the pain gets better. Or he can do this potassium sensitivity test to see if I do have IC. Of course that tests involves a catheter up my urethra, not being sedated, and then they shoot potassium up there and if it causes excruciating pain, then you know you have IC. Wow, that sounds rather barbaric to me. It is hard to believe in this day and age, so many of these medical procedures involve so much pain!
The doctor seems to think if I get pregnant, this bladder pain will go away, at least WHILE I am pregnant. So he thinks we should concentrate of getting me KU, which I like. He wants to start me on 50 mg Clomid next cycle and then do an IUI when I ovulate. It is a pretty bare-bones version of IUI...no injectable meds and minimal monitoring. But it is not too expensive and I feel like it's a step in the right direction. So that is what we are planning to do. I just wish I could be more excited about all of this.
