Cycle Calendar

Just in case you were wondering, we finally got our calendar for our next cycle. It is so overwhelming and it appears that the medications will cost us about $7000 as none of it is covered by our insurance. Life sucks sometimes!!!

IVF #3

I am back!!

I know, I should be ashamed of myself.

I just haven't felt like even thinking about IVF for the last couple of months. I have taken a few months off and focused on my family and work. I am sort of disappointed that summer is over but I am SOOOOO looking forward to fall. I love the turning of the leaves and the colder weather but it saddens me to think that the summer is over and that I spent most of the summer focusing on my failed pregnancy. Oh well. I am doing good now and we are trying to go into this next cycle as positive as we can.

We have decided to proceed with IVF #3 in November 2008. Matt and I have discussed this issue at great lenght and this is it!

We are committed to giving it 1 more try. All we can do at this point is is hope for the best and prepare ourselves for the worst.

Wish us luck!
