In due time

June seems like so far ago.  We still haven't received the bill from PNWF so I'm not sure what our out of pocket costs are going to be.  I think they are still waiting on final figures of what insurance is paying.  Those are still going through insurance right now.  One positive thing is J's insurance was picking up stuff we didn't think they'd pick up. A lot of the monitoring appointments they are picking up.  The only thing J's insurance is not picking up is the things that were specifically for IVF, i.e. retrieval, transfer.

I do have my moments of sadness.  I try to not let them get me down too much.  Monday we went to a friend's house for a bbq. They have an amazingly cute little boy that I just love playing with.  It's been cool seeing him grow up.  He's getting so much personality.  The same with my nephew.  The pictures I see of him I just see so much happiness.  My niece started school yesterday and I cried a little bit.  I remember when she was such a tiny baby.  She no longer looks like a baby. She looks like a little kid now!  I want to experience all that with our own kid.  I used to say I was "sure" it would happen but now I talk in it would be "nice" if it happened terms.  I think if we are still without a baby next year we have some serious discussions about adopting.

I would love to try another round of IVF.  I would go through all the shots and meds and weight gain.  I'd do it all for another shot at a baby.  Dr M feels good that after the hysterscopy IVF would be successful.  Unfortunately we just don't have the funds.  I can still have a little hope that J's new insurance will cover infertility.  I doubt it though.  My insurance is one of the few that actually cover it.  Just wish it was a bigger cap than $10k.  $10k is not much in the land of infertility.  

I do miss posting on the boards I was a part of.  I miss the support all the girls gave.  I just couldn't go back to it and hear about all the positive pregnancy tests.  Maybe later.

2nd Anniversary

We celebrated our 2nd anniversary on Monday.  It's hard to believe that it has already been 2 years since we got married. It seems like longer than that.  We went down to San Francisco for a long weekend to see a Cubs Giants game. It was fun going to the game on our anniversary.  Thank goodness the Cubs won! haha. Made for a good gift.


The weather was okay down there.  It got a little chilly at night but thankfully there was no rain.  We walked around a bunch and went to Alcatraz.  Ate way too much amazing food.  Ooh I feel like I need a food detox.  


Everything went fine with recovery after the hysteroscopy.  I can finally take baths again. That's an amazing thing to me.  Nothing new on the baby front.  We really haven't talked next steps.  We can't afford IVF without insurance. We don't want to take out a loan to pay for it and have one more bill to be responsible for.  Hopefully with the new contract the new insurance provider will cover infertility benefits.  That would be amazing.  I know it's a long shot but I can at least hope.
