Re: You are about to lose all respect for me...
What she said. I hope everything works out for you.
I seriously just vomited over having to go this far. It makes me sick...and tomorrow i could wake up and think "WTF did i just do?!"
But, for right now it is what it is.
Yeah, keep us posted.
me too. I dont think it'll go anywhere and I will look like a complete ass (esp once this gets out to all the other boards on thebump) but its a risk i am willing to take
You never know. I guess it's worth a shot. I didn't lose respect for you at all, I've seen crazier things!
Autumn I don't judge you even a little bit.
Have you thought about getting a surrogate? Your embryo + her uterus = the outcome you want?
Me too! I will keep you guys in my Thoughts and Prayers!!
Maybe someone from Good Morning America or The Today show will see this.
You could end up getting some real exposure, and hopefully get the money you need.
Good luck to you.
as far as we know, our only obsticle is DH's sperm count. He has to freeze two samples in the next week because his count is getting lower and lower.
I was going to continue working 60-70 hours a week for the next year to pay this off, but I'm so afraid that by then dh's count will be next to nothing.
That can cost a couple in the 70,000-100,000 range if you use an agency. If you go on your own to surrogate, unless you REALLY know the GS, it cab be dicey, and you still have to pay for IVF at minimum.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but what is the reason for the dropping sperm count? Is there any treatment for it?
Have you used up all IUIs allowed, or are you completely OOP? Some fert. clinics have a "shared risk program" where you pay for a certain number of IVFs, and get money back if they do not work.
I can empahise with you about the desire to conceive and give birth to a child that is biologically connected to you. It is a powerful urge. You have to be in a place of acceptance before you can even begin to consder other options.
i dont mind at all...
We have no idea... for our first iui we have over 6mil sperm, our last iui we were at 1.2 mil. He said the quality is getting lower to pick from.
DH had the varicoseal surgery about a year ago, and what we have now is AMAZING compaired to what we started with.
Our insurance doesn't cover IUI medications. So far we have done 3 medicated IUI's and have no credit left to charge more medication.
I would do whatever i could at this point, but can't get a loan to cover the costs.
I want to donate my eggs on day..but would love to be able to have children first (to ensure dh's s/c is secure for the process)
Autumn, I gotta tell you this- I don't get affected by much and I am not easily swayed. But I have to say, from what I can tell you and your hubs are good and kind people and my heart genuinely breaks for you.
If I had the disposable income, I would give it to you.
I'm so sorry for the hard road you've had. May it all be worth the struggle in the end...
It is just crap! Our insurance did not cover meds when were TTC DS. It really was a burden to try to pay for it all. We did not originally plan to have them so close together, but one day I noticed that the new insurance that DH had covered injectables. We decided to go for it, as things can change and who knows when or if we would ever have coverage like that again.
I would get frustrated when people would say "if you can't afford treatment, can you afford a baby?"
There are tons of people out there who can not afford a baby who get pregnant for free everyday (or so I've heard!!)
ckell, i can't even find words to express how much that means to me.
I just tried putting it all into words 3 times and deleted it each time because it sounds "corney" and i dont want to downplay the sincerity i have for what you said.
So i will just say "thank you" and hope that you know all the emotions and gratitude that come with it
Yes, This is how I feel. If this was 2 years back when I was making good money I would've lent you the money! No words can express the sorrow I feel for you.
No words are necessary
I greatly appriciate this.
Autumn, have you tought about looking for a IVF place does a donation program? My friend is going through it right now. She is donating her some of her eggs to another female that can't make her own, and it is making my friend's IVF procedure half the price of how it would normally be. Might be worth a shot to look into. (I don't know if you have already or not though.)
I really feel for you. I hope this gets to the right person that rights you a check to fix it. You never know.
Autumn, I really hope it all works out for you. It sounds like you have hit just about every obstacle imaginable (I read your blog). I'm so sorry that this road is so difficult for you ... it should never have to be this hard and it should never have to come down to money.
I wish you the best of luck.
Our Journey to Brenden

3 babies waiting on ice
thats a great idea, and i've looked into the shared plan, with no luck. I've also looked into a clinic in the area that may be doing an "IVF research" project..but there is nothing.
I can only hope if the person who invented a snuggie can make millions, that maybe this could have a 1% chance of working..lol
Our friends are all our age and just staring families of their own. I could never ask that of them.
We did ask my dad, before i knew about the prostate issue. But he is retired and on disability and therefore can not get approved for the loan.
My in-laws are in the middle of refinancing..so thats out too.
I really think i have turned over every stone with no luck.
*sigh*
Owell... this will be my last resort. If it doesnt work, its onto a year of working 60-70 hours a wk and praying that DH's count doesnt fall anymore
Someone I knew used a site called chipin.com or something similar to that when another friend and local knottie's husband was killed in a car accident.
You can set up a site that explains the situation and it goes into a paypal account that I think only you have access to, or however it gets set up.
I mean, if you forward that link out to enough people, who knows how far it can go?
Autumn,
I mostly lurk but I am so sorry you are going through all this. I sent you a private message. GL.
I am speechless right now.... completely speechless.
Thank you all so much!!!
Fundraising is a good idea. Personally I think it would be more successful if a friend or family creates a site and writes a plea. I think people respond better to that than someone fundraising themselves. Just my opinion.
Autumn, something is going to work out.
