So Thankful!

IVF is an expensive procedure and our insurance covers nothing. The meds alone are over $4,000. Well, I am so thankful and blessed that someone donated one of the meds to me. It is a huge blessing and a little bit of a weight off our shoulders.

We still don't have a date to move forward. The surgery coordinator from my gyn called today but I missed her call when I was in the shower and when I called back, I had to leave a message and never got a returned call so hopefully I will hear from her on Monday. I hope we can move forward quickly.

Brett has a long weekend this weekend so we went to see Grown Up's (very funny). Tomorrow night we are going out to dinner with another couple from our church. It's nice to meet other couples that aren't in the military.

That's about it for right now. Hopefully I'll have something better to update next week. As soon as I schedule my surgery, we can make up a calendar for IVF.

Moving forward

After over three years of trying to conceive on our own and two failed IUI's, we are moving forward with IVF. Right now, we are on hold because I have polyps on my uterus that I have to have removed but as soon as that is done, we should be able to move forward. We are both excited and optimistic that this will be it for us, that this will work. Our Dr. has given us a 79% success rate... which is really rare to have such a high number.

More then anything, we want a family. We want kids of our own and it's exciting that it feels like it is at arm's reach and someday in our near future, we will have our dream.

IVF is a emotionally and physically draining process but as Brett has told me many times, "the finishing product is something we will have and cherish for the rest of our lives". So, we keep our eyes on the prize and move forward...

I should be having hysteroscopy in the next couple weeks and hopefully IVF in July.
