Quick update

I have much to tell, especially about what wonderful DH gave me for our 3 year anniversary, but I don't have the time at the moment.

I did want to mark this day, because today we administered our first injection at home (lupron, of course).

Easy, cheesy. Just a pinch and we were done. DH is awesome at administering the injections. I'm so lucky.

IVF it is

Testing came back and DH's numbers actually fell. So, with the failure of his Clomid regiment for three months, we are onto IVF.

Our first appointment with the IVF RE is May 19th.

Right now, I don't think about it much. I'm not a big fan of the whole injection concept, so I try not to dwell on it. The last thing I need to do is get all psyched out about a few tiny needles.

I am, however, bolstered by the recent success of a few of my blogmates. Maybe I will be joining them soon.

Tick tock

Time is rapidly closing. I'm not sure how I feel about IVF. I haven't really been thinking about it; holding out hope that we won't have to take that step.

Our funding has come through; more than we actually thought we would accrue, so we will be able to afford at least a few rounds of IVF.


The sun has yet to come out and shine life-wise, but we're holding our heads down and trudging through. We'll get there...it would just be nice if it was soon.

Patience is obviously not one of my virtues.

T-minus three weeks and counting...

In about three weeks DH has his follow-up SA and then we know. If his numbers are 10 mil. or more, we move onto IUI with clomid. If his numbers are less than 10, we are looking at jumping into IVF.

God has provided funding for our baby. Between gifts, taxes, and the sale of some possessions, we will be able to do IVF.

Just three weeks to go...

No IVF Coverage

Not that it's a surprise, but we don't have IVF coverage. It just sucks that we have to worry about paying to HAVE a child. I still don't understand the rhyme or reason of it. The crack fiend and whore on the corner can produce like crazy, but here we are, decent, taxing paying people and we have to pay to put our stuff in a dish and create some life.

What world is this?

Coverage mumbo jumbo

Why can't they just put includes or excludes IVF in the coverage manual? Seriously, it would make my life so much easier than this legalese crap I'm reading.

The way I read it, it covers all procedures and diagnostic related to "involuntary infertility" which to me would include IVF. However, you never know how to take what these things say.

I've contacted member services...lets hope I hear from them soon (and they can actually give me a yes or no answer).
