What's next

First of all I'd like to thank Melissa for adding me to the blogroll and a big thanks to anyone who found me as a result of LFCA. Thank you very much for your comments! While driving to work today I was thinking about our situation and how alone I feel most of the time. When I opened my email/blog this morning was greeted with comments. It was just what I needed today. :)

So next on the horizon for me is a hysteroscopy next Tuesday to get rid of a polyp that was discovered when I had my saline U/S and mock transfer. After that I am hoping for another try at IVF but we still need to talk about it. I truly hate that money is at the forefront of our conversations about what to do next. Paying for this out-of-pocket is miserable. I have a friend in MA who has been approved for 7 rounds of IVF by her insurance company. I almost fell off my chair when she told me that.

I go in to the RE's office on Friday for pre-op blood work...I am really, really hoping I have a different tech this time! Having a constant reminder on my arm of what I am going through is not fun at all. Oh yeah, I did finally hear about my bloodwork results - it was just as I had thought. BFN. Of course, that was not simple either...I had called last Thursday and found out that they never took my blood out of the freezer so the test was not done until Friday. I received the results when I called to schedule the surgery.

  1. Hi, I'm over from LFCA - welcome to the infertility blogosphere. (Not that anybody really wants to be here exactly) But you are definitely not alone.
    Good luck with the polyp removal on Tuesday - I just had one removed on Friday and it wasn't bad at all (um, thank goodness for anesthesia). And I totally feel you on the out of pocket thing. Yech.

    1. Thanks so much for your comment. Glad to hear that all went well for you on Friday - gives me hope! Dr. Goo.gle definitely can make me anxious at times.

  3. Your friend is very lucky to have such awesome insurance. I also have to pay OOP for our ivf cycles and it hurts. Good luck on your hysteroscopy. I have mine on Friday.
