I took the plunge and called the RE this week. We’ve decided we’re going to schedule an IVF in early April and bust our butts in the meantime to raise the funds for it. Whatever we can’t scrimp/save/raise we will charge on the credit card and deal with later.
Now the race is on! I am excited, nervous and a whole lot of things right now. I am glad to have a date, as I hate being in limbo and just not knowing what is going to happen next. I prefer to have a plan than to sit around twiddling my thumbs. We will either be pregnant or done trying to get pregnant by the end of April. It’s exciting (possibly being pregnant) and scary (possibly being done).
The RE will be more aggressive this time, trying for more eggs. We had 9 last time, and only three embryos. We hope to have more this go-round and hopefully have some to freeze. We could do a frozen embryo transfer down the road (much less $$$ than IVF) but we just won’t be doing another IVF. It’s so hard on so many levels — physically, emotionally and financially.
So that’s it… we’re on our way again!
