Hi everyone, I just read the first 8 pages of posts and decided to give a little of my story since it might be a while before I finish reading the first 60 pages of post.
Everyone thank you so much for the warm welcome. This is only my third thread and never received such a welcome like yours.
I'm 37 ( until next month lol) my hubby is 48. We got married on November 20,2004. We decided to start trying in 2006. After 6 months I was diagnosed with pcos. We did clomid for 6 months which didn't help my cycles, it just made me really really witchy. We went to FS and I had he did a hsg which came out normal. My hubby's semen analysis showed a high percentage of abnormal morphology. However, his count at the time was so high that the FS said it wasn't a factor. We did Follistim and a double iui. At the time I was on metformin for the pcos. It worked the first time and we were pregnant with twins. We were over the moon. I started getting a lot of pressure and asked if I needed to be on bed rest because I was on my feet as a teacher all day. I went to my doctors visit on Monday, went to school on Tuesday and had to do lunch duty and break up two fights. Tuesday evening I was cramping. That morning I went to the doctor and she immediately admitted me to the hospital. I was in labor at 22 weeks with an incompetent cervix. The magnesium sulfate was able to hold it off for a week. My sweet boys came on Nov 21,22, 2007 , they were 1lb4oz and 1lb5oz which was big for there age.They were born on different days. My first born lived a week and my second born twin lived two days. I ache for them everyday. I still remember the first time I saw their heartbeats. I loved them from the moment I found out about them. Three months later I got pregnant on my own for the first time but the week I find out I mc the same week. In June of 2008 after an follistim and a double iui I got pregnant again. My little boy made me smile again when I thought it was impossible for me to be happy again. He was born on April 7,2009 and 9 lbs 10 oz. We decided to try again in 2010 we thought we had the cure with follistim and iuis. Well out first round of follistim we did timed intercourse which resulted Ina bfn. We did another round immediately after and I had 6 mature follicles. We were between a rock and a hard place. We continued with one iui insteD of a double but I got a bfn. I know it was a big risk but I was afraid that I would miss my chance. Each time I reacted different to follistim. We tried one last time with follistim and a double iui and we conceived twin boys. I cried because I knew I could bring home one baby after my son went full term but when I found out I had twins again all the fears from my first pregnancy came flooding back. My little ones arrived on March 22, 2007. I thought it would be risky to have anymore children because I had to get cerclages with my twins and my soon. I was hospitalized for a month because of preclampsia. My husband got a vasectomy and my in-laws where very supportive. However, I had a change of heart in the office. They told my husband they were going to show him a video first so I figured he would come back out before the procedure. When he came out I was devastated. I acted like I was ok. Later after my in laws left I expressed my feelings to my hubby. He understood. To add insult yo injury when I went that same week for my 6 week check up my doctor said I was cleared to have as many babies as I wanted. We had acted prematurely because of our fears.
We knew we could never afford a reversal but we found a dr in Oklahoma and he did reversals under a local in his office for $1700. He got it reversed in May of 2013. In December we did an analysis with my FS and his numbers were great. We started femara the beginning of February at 5mg and we did a double iui. Tomorrow morning I'll find out if it worked. Sorry for the long synopsis.

. I loooooved my slow cooker before it died on me 
. There's tons of delicious recipes out there 
. We absolutely know when they're talking to us when we're tuned into just the right frequency 
.
. Your first boys will always be with you 
. Get the referral in writing and give those jokers the 
once you're able to ride out. Ugh, wtf?
I'm not kidding when I say that you should call every day until they do the referral. And tell them that's what you're going to do. That's just ridiculous. Oh and the dry cleaner story was pretty great. Thanks for a laugh at work.

I can't believe you don't have your referral! Your dry cleaners story made me laugh though!
