wow...just wow (good news)

in Infertility Veterans

So I had my dad over to give him something for Mother's Day in honor of my mom. We we catching up when he gave me a gift I never thought would happen. He will pay for one round of IVF for us!!!Surprise. DH and I are in shock. One of the main reasons we were not doing IVF was the cost.

So we made a decision that we will do more IUI since it is covered and then look into IVF IF it does not work.

Wow, I am in shock and aw and in tears.

 

Now to look into our IVF options...eek!
