I paid the deposit for Costa Rica!

I really can't believe this is all coming together. I've paid the deposit, and we've also been researching hotels and flights, and I made the reservations for the hotels we'll be staying at while we're in San Jose. My H and I are going to go over everything this weekend and make a binder (for my type A personality) and a spreadsheet (because he needs anything financial in a spreadsheet 
. My doctor also called in my birth control pill prescription (yuck!).
I am really excited, but it's also kind of strange because we are still TTC on our own. So we're planning things for the IVF and the trip, but are hoping for a break cycle BFP so we don't have to go. That means only making reservations for things are refundable. It's a weird limbo, and I will be happy when we know for sure exactly what we are doing.
After 2+ years and multiple treatment cycles,
including an IVF vacation in Costa Rica/Panama,
IVF #2 brought us our miracle baby!
Surprise! Baby Boy is on the way!

Re: I paid the deposit for Costa Rica!
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
Wow congrats to you on getting started on your journey. I am sure that it the IVF cycle is getting more real to you! But I really hope you won't need the trip and it can happen on your own!
Please keep us posted on your journey. I am very interested in hearing about your experience. Might I ask if this is the IVF plan that starts in Costa Rica and ends in Panama??
Yes it is. It's funny because the actually procedure happens in Panama, but I just refer to it as Costa Rica IVF. Don't know why
