Hi again,

 Sorry just went through my benefits again.  Woo hoo! I can get an abortion for only $30! (notice sarcasm here)  but screw me if I want to have a kid.  Ugh, I want to punch something.  Sorry...

    It's alllll about the $$$$. No babies = less money for them... or more depending on how you look at it.

    You're lucky, I'm still paying for my D&C.  As if a m/c isn't hard enough, getting reminder bills every month just reopens the wounds.

    IUI#1 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 3-7) = BFP, m/c
    IUI#2 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 5-9) = BFN

    beta #2 11/28 = 2055
    Our daughter E was born 7/29/2012!
    Surprise, our 2nd daughter P was born 5/22/14!

    I am in the same situation :( We have been TTC for 12 years and can now afford to try IUIs, but if we have to move onto IVF who knows how long it will take to afford that! I hate my insurance :(
