Secondary IF

OMG, I'm sobbing

No sooner than I posted that poll, I heard the mailman at the door.

There was a priority mail envelope in there, from MIL, addressed to both of us but me on top.  She sends us clippings all the time, but usually addressed to DH or if both of us, he's on top, so I let him open them.  I could feel glitter on a card in there, so I was thinking it was holiday card from a friend she wanted us to read.  Turned out to be a Valentines card, not in an envelope.  I though that was a bit odd, but she's quirky.  Opened the card, because, well, even though it's not Valentine's yet, it's already open and in my hand. In it were 2 checks, one for each of us. Enough combined to pay for almost our entire pricey IVF cycle. 

I am sobbing. And shaking so hard it's taken me a very long time to type this.

OMG.

  • Thanks!! I am sooo blown away!

    I mean, I know a cycle of IVF isn't guaranteed, but what we'd be doing is different than your average IVF cycle.  The chromosomal testing will mean that only an embie with a real fighting chance of making it would be put back in me.  And they use an amazing new freezing technique that gets waay better results in my age group than not freezing.  I think it's 15% for not frozen and 38% for frozen.

    Anyway, I'll be doing TCM with it, and hopefully all of this together will do it. And if we can get enough healthy embies for a future FET if the first one doesn't take, all's the better.

    Either way, I called my friend who's their embryologist to tell him it's ON, and he was so excited for us! He promised to personally handle every bit of our labwork and I can't tell you how much less clinical it makes the whole process feel to know that I know the person who will be doing the ICSI and everything else.

  • I'm still smiling ear to ear about this - DH just got home from school and I told him.  He gave me a fist bump and started to get teary eyed as well (he's sentimental that way).  Guess all those prayers have been answered (at least partially!).
