I'm thinking about you. In fact, I thought about you all night long. I want this to work out for you and DH. We could never just suddenly come up with that kind of money either and I'd be heartsick. Just thinking about IVF I've wondered many times how other couples reconcile the cash. I've wondered if we were the only ones with difficulty just "coming up" with it. Please keep us posted. I really hope that REACH does the right thing by you and DH.
I already disclosed DH's meds and I will remind everyone in fact. I've read before that hypertension drugs can be an issue when trying to conceive. I only hope it doesn't bar us from shared risk. That might prevent us from going forward altogether or perhaps we'd give Affodable IVF a try instead. Oh, I shouldn't think so far ahead.
As you ladies said. DH is being a real pain but it's good to see this is "normal." I tried to get him to schedule his SA but he insisted that I do it and then of course, he complained about the day I chose. He could have had an appointment this week but because I am oh so considerate, I pushed it off to next week so he could give his job ample warning that he'd miss a few hours. I've already told him that I won't ask him to any appointments he doesn't have to be at. The money issue is complicated enough without us worrying about his job. I already know protocols won't be his thing and I'll have to constantly remind him about where we are in the process. The good thing? Because he likes remaining clueless when I get a BFP I can actually make it a surprise event for him. He won't see it coming.
And finally, AF arrived late Tuesday evening. Actually, it's not a flow at all just some spotting but I believe they told me to give them a call no matter how "light."
May you wonderful ladies day go gently.
