New Girl in Town (child mentioned/loss mentioned)

Hi Everyone! I am new to this discussion board. I am a 30-year-old female trying to conceive our second baby. We have one happy, healthy and over energetic 2 1/2 year old, whom we are so thankful for. It took us 3 years to conceive before getting pregnant after 4 IUIs.
We have been trying to conceive our second child for over a year now. This time around we were successful getting pregnant after our first IUI, but miscarried. We had another 4 failed IUIs. We are now stuck in a "limbo"/waiting period while we figure out new insurance for the new year. Hoping that 2017 is the year for us!
Thanks in advance for the support and encouragement through this process.

CP #1- due April 2017 lost 5.5 weeks
cp #2- due May 2017 lost at 4.5 weeks
iUI #1- BFN
IUI #2-BFN
IVF#1- transfer 2- BFP! Due October 2017 c/p#3 lost at 3.5 weeks
We had 3 IUIs with no luck, so are moving on to IVF in a few months.
I also wanted to say that the uncertainty insurance limbo/waiting sucks. My husband recently got a new job and for a while we really thought some IF expenses would be covered (!!), because that's what the detailed coverage booklet said, and we were so happy. But then we found that his company attached a rider saying that IF treatments/testing/medication are NOT covered. Frustrating they went out of their way to exclude that! I hope you have better luck having your insurance cover some aspect of this.
