Back to trying

Well I'm back after a break. Sarah's company switched from Bluecross to Cigna and we lost all fertility coverage. We were devistated!

Sarah talked to her boss to say she would have to look for a new job with better health coverage and they wanted her to say bad enough that they got her on a different plan. However, the "best" we could get was " 3 cycles". We know that of course that means no ivf...that it means medicated iui cycles, BUT they pay for all test and procedures too. So we are taking some extra time getting stress out of the way and adjusting diets and enjoying the non medicated Sarah!!! Then we are back to trying! Sarah wants to start again next month but I'm thinking at the end of March or April. I'm sure she will win. She always does! :)


10 medicated IUI's (3 with injectables). 
IUI #1 (medicated) Jan. 2013-BFP!!!!- Beta's didn't double, MTX shot for possible ectopic.
8 IUI's between April 13-April 14 = BFN 
IUI #10 and final before IVF, injectables May 2014- BFP!!!!  TWINS!!!!

7 week ultrasound showed 2 wonderful heartbeats!
8 weeks to the ER with vaginal bleeding while on vacations!  Diagnosed SubChorionic Hemorrhage.  Babies are both great.
9 week ultrasound showed both babies are still great.

    Welcome back. I'm glad you will have some coverage and that her boss was willing to help out. I know you have been trying for a while. I hope that you are able to get a BFP sooner rather than later.
