Infertility Veterans

A major change for the summer...

I know this is contrary to many of my previous posts, but it looks like we might give IVF a go this summer.  I had a long talk with my mom this weekend, and she really wants to support us through the process and offered to help us in any way that she can.  I think she really alleviated a lot of my fears (both emotionally and financially) and I really think this is the next step for us.  Originally, she was pushing more towards next year, but I think it's really sinking in that none of these treatments so far are working and that waiting will not do any good...

I am scheduling an IVF consult, but I definitely will not be starting anything until the summer.  I really want to do everything right and not have to worry about work, so during the summer I can really focus on my protocol.  I'll let you know how the consult goes!  Thanks, ladies!
