Hey Chicks! Got some pretty good news yesterday and will confirm tomorrow at my doctor appt, but if God is willing, I was told that I could be billed for a full IVF cycle at the doctor I have right now and all I would have to pay is 2500 for the embryo transfer. He gives active military a 50% reduction bringing the up-front cost to only 1250.00. Of course I don't have even that small amount of money, but I have more of a possibility of getting that than I do 5 or 10 thousand. The catch is that the deal is only for active military and my husband started the rest of his ACAP process when he got back and is doing CAP week as we speak. He has his Capstone appt. next Wednesday and will be clearing after that which will take about 10 days. He also has an interview with Verizon tomorrow morning for a job in PA.... There is no reason for him not to get it since he has 7 years with that company (I am praying), but that gives me such a small window to do this if I can. I can use the Army insurance to pay for blood draws, ultrasounds, and meds, get billed for the IVF costs apart from the transfer, but I have to begin on my cd1 which will be coming any day now as my number is almost down. I got a positive digital test yesterday. It is nerve-wracking. My husband is going to ask his family. I might ask mine, but my mom just gave me 200 for the surgery I had that took my tubes. My family are not well-to-do. Regardless, I am excited. I have my consultation in the morning that will either deny or confirm what the nurse told me. If the price is around the one she quoted me, I am going to try very hard to get a full cycle of IVF before we leave here starting with this cycle. It is too cheap and too good to pass up and especially since I have insurance that will cover some of the biggest costs.
Pray for us, that everything goes the way God wills. I have not dealt with the loss of all my fertility, and honestly I don't intend to. I just plan on ignoring it until IVF works, or I die.. Works for my head, andI am not sure my heart could not recover from the hurt since even the small moments I think of never having another baby makes me wanna just cry my heart out. I keep hearing my husband say the night before the surgery that God does what's best for those that love Him and that God gives good things so for me not to worry and I told my husband that God can't give good to everyone, sometimes bad things happen, no matter how good you are. Children die, cancer kills, accidents happen... God can't do good for everyone and their life turn out according to His will. Sometimes bad things have to happen. I just happen to be the one that it happened to, but I think its because my spirit is strong and prepared to face struggle. We all know that not everyone of us can be blessed with more children, we just hope not to end up on the bad end. I am on the bad end, but I am not totally out yet. I hope no one else has to come to this end with me. I am praying for you ladies.
I hope you IUI works Cupcake! I am praying for your IVF Fluter!
Momsbaby, I am sorry about your numbers.
Navy, my birthday was the 12th too. 16 is a lot better than 35..
Brandi, the best part about pregnancy at the end is the end.. You will be looking back with pride very soon at how long your little man held on and how glad you are he did, even though you are probably miserable.
Thanks to everyone for the support and Brandi, thanks for the offer of help but you gotta take care of that little man and your other little ones, and these days it's just too hard to make ends meet for each individual family. I do appreciate the offer though. We will get the money if it is God's will. I can wait.
Faith, without hope the world would be dead. As your name implies-- faith makes people live differently than the people who have none. There is just something extra inside those people that always looks for the bright side, that hidden rainbow behind the clouds. This has been the hardest journey of my life and losing my fertility has been filled with questions that will never really be answered, but if I bug God and pest Him and pest Him, then maybe He will relent. It does not hurt to keep trying, only to quit. Besides they have mini IVF at the New Hope Fertility clinic for around 5000 and even though that is a lot, it is not an unsavable amount. I might have to be patient, but I can save that much with a little effort. I also have one thing going for me.. I am only just 35. I will update tomorrow.
I can't wait to see a pic of him. He needs to come on already lol
, honestly felt like ripping someone's head off, still not jolly, but some better I guess. Mild cramping this afternoon, 1st of it since IUI, hoping its a good sign, but unlikely at 4dpo.....
