Hello 
. After 24 cycles of TTC and an HSG that showed my only remaining tube as blocked March 31st, 2014, we are on day 3 of cycling for IVF! We would have started a year ago IF we knew we could have but I'm just happy we found out now, as my insurance runs out at the end of June 2015!!! We only have 4 months to achieve a successful pregnancy BUT I have alot of faith and I truly think this will be our 1st and only round! FX!
So anyway, about a month ago, after being told by our OB that my insurance would NOT cover IVF, I randomly called my insurance company and it was like music to my ears....They informed me that I have one of the Best policies around and it covers up to 6 rounds of IVF, unlimited coverage per live birth! I couldn't even talk due to the many tears of joy rolling down my face! It still feel surreal but my specialist is AWESOME and has been moving everything along soo incredibly fast for us, which has def been making it feel more and more real by the day. We are very grateful!
So, I'm looking for some other 1st time IVF'ers to go through the cycling with. I'm on day 3 of my BCP today and should be starting injections in 3-5wks. Eeek!! 3-5 wks seems like such a short amount of time compared to 24 months, plus time NTNP before that BUT not knowing exactly when the R & T are going to happen for sure is certainly making time drag for me...idk about u ladies!
My "mock transfer" is on Tues a.m (March 3rd, 2015) and then we speak with our IVF specialist right after that so more of our questions can be answered and such. At that appt, we should learn more of when we will officially be moving on to the next step, AKA, the stem meds. My FSH is SLIGHTLY high for a 26yr old but that's not uncommon, as I only have one Ovary. DH had his SA done and he had great numbers, 102.5 million swimmers with 56% motility! His morphology was slightly off BUT they said its nothing to worry about with numbers so high. So far so good for a successful IVF round. I do have one son, Aiden, he's 7yrs old, and although DH acts as his father, he has no children of his own and we so desperately want a baby together, as u can all imagine. I was a Teen Mom with Aiden and although I was a great teen mom, I wasn't nearly as ready as I am this time around & idk, I just really look forward to another LO now that I'm In the right place to have a baby. Did that make sense? Lol I couldn't seem to get the words out how I wanted to. DH & I truly didn't think IVF would ever be an option for us due to the high costs ($15-20k per round, here in NH) but I believe there's a reason we learned of our IVF coverage JUST in time for 1-2 rounds before insur runs out. FX again for 1 try! But yea, since I have had 1 full term healthy pregnancy in the past, before my tubal issues, and because my HSG showed my uterus to be looking great, the doctors say our odds are def in our favor. I pray they're right!
I pray myself and anyone else who joins me in this wait has GREAT success! I'm so very anxiously waiting for the retrieval and transfer to happen because for me personally, waiting on that I can already tell is going to be the worse part for me. Once we have a successful transfer, I am sticking with the mind frame of being "pregnant until proven otherwise". I told DH, I'm allowing myself to take in EVERY moment of that TWW and enjoy it. I'm also going to be using LOTS of wondfos/IC's that cycle to test the trigger out of my system, plus when I have .10cent tests on hand, why not see about an early BFP..?! 
I already know I wouldn't be able to wait for the "official" test day, lol.
Anyway, there's a little of my TTC background/reasoning for IVF. I hope to "meet" some new ladies through this new thread so we can support each other until we get our MUCH deserved BFPs together!
Lots of Dust to each & every one of you!!!!

. I was shocked that he was the one to make ME feel ok with donor sperm...I would have thought it'd be the other way around, if anything. I love him even more for wanting to do this with me because he wants a baby with me so badly. I know he or she will be a daddy's boy/girl no matter what 
. Good luck! 
We had to do FET becuase my estrogen got too high. I am very nervous. I wish everyone luck!!
