Debbie Downer here.....It didn't work.
We had 4 embryos left, but unfortunately, we had to thaw them all to get a viable one. So now we're back at square one...
I guess we've got 4 options - use my mom as a surrogate, got to India for surrogacy, try more embryos in me, or adoption. We're not exactly sure what to do at this point, but we're leaning toward my mom as a surrogate. We've got an appt. on Oct 10th to discuss all this with the doctor and get her opinion.
The insurance money is pretty much gone now. I think we have $1500 left, so our next cycle will more than likely be out of pocket. My husband and I are both applying to companies that offer infertility insurance, but so far we've not had any luck. I hate our insurance company. They took $7000 for my surgery out of our $15,000 for infertility. My doctor and the insurance co. agree that the surgery was medically necessary as opposed to infertility, but something about self-funded plan, blah blah, get over it, no more money for you. Oh well, we tried and tried to get that money back, but it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen.
We're on a break from TTC until 2012. We've been doing pretty much continuous cycles all year and are just kinda tired of it all. That'll give us a little more time to try to find insurance and to relax.
Maybe I've mentioned this before, can't remember, but we're on an adoption waiting list with the state...kinda. We're actually on a waiting list for the workshop, but they only take 20 couples per year for that list then you decide if you want to move forward at that point. The workshop was supposed to be this fall, but due to a lack of babies, it wont be until next spring. My husband isn't quite on board with all of this yet, but we're still on the list just in case.
And for once, something unrelated to infertility! Imagine that.
I got a new camera a few months ago and I love it! I've been taking pics of bugs, flowers...mostly nature things. These are a couple of my favorites so far
I've never liked bugs before so what posessed me to like them now, I have no idea. It has actually been a good way to get rid of some of the bug fear. I still don't like taking pictures of spiders though!
