TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

No more treatments :-( (update)

I know I can never seem to get on here with any sort of consistancy, but trust me, I have been lurking on everyone.  I almost started posting again, then the board drama made me sick.  But all of you's guys (especially Delino (((HUGS))) and Laurakat and Venessa (((FX))) ) are in my thoughts everyday.

Well, I might be more available as I started a new job on Monday, so I will now be working days instead of evenings and overnights.  I took a paycut for this job, but the hours and work are so much less stressful.  But I found out today that a little less pay isn't the only thing I lost, I will also be losing my infertility coverage.  At my previous employer, I was already getting close to hitting my lifetime max (I might have another 2k) for fertility, so we would have potentially been facing this anyways, but now it's just more real.  I'm a little beside myself right now.

We IUI this month, and my insurence from my previous employer doesn't end until the 30th, so I MAY be able to do another IUI before that, but I'm pretty sure no betas or every 2 week ultrasounds will be after then.  So potentially this was my "hail mary" cycle and if it didn't work, we are pretty much TTC on our own from now on, which I have almost no hope for...you may be seeing me around A LOT more..

    Hi Allie!  I've missed you.  Thank you for the much needed hugs.

    Congratulations on the new job.  I hope the better hours make for a better quality of life for you.  As for the insurance, that sucks and I hate hate hate that IF coverage is not provided to most people.  I hope that once you get settled into the new place, you can maybe save up some money to do a treatment, but more than that I hope the hail mary cycle works!  ((HUGS)) to you my friend.

    3 ectopic pregnancies (EDD's 1/30/12-tube removed, 6/2/12-methotrexate and 10/2/12-methotrexate)
    IVF and Natural FET resulted in BFN's and a hole in our wallets
    Natural BFP #4 on 9/7/12 gave us our miracle on 5/18/13

  • I hope this is the cycle for you and the worries about coverage become irrelevant.  I also have no IF insurance, and it is very stressful.  I am sorry.

  • I typed out a reply last night but then the Bump did their weekly maintanence and ate it! 

    My DH doesn't want to do any more medical intervention and is convinced we will get pg on our own again. Me I have very little hope of this happening without help.

    I also started a new job on Monday too! Congratulations. I hope you enjoy your new job. 

    Good luck!  I really hope you Hail Mary worked. 

  • {{hugs}} I am so sorry hun. I totally understand not having any infertility coverage, it really really sucks!
