Well this is just the day of WONDERFUL news!!

So, DH and I decide to take Cinder for a walk to the park since it was still like 65 degrees out when he got home. As we're walking he starts telling me that his boss had her little girl via IVF. Apparently, it took her and her husband 2 1/2 years of trying to get her.

She said they did an IUI every month for a year!!

When that didn't work, they took 3 months off, did an IVF and got it on the first shot. She had a "womb issue" as Danny put it. HA HA! I imagine that to mean an actual uterine problem, as opposed to a tube problem, ya know?

This is so great, right? Because she's totally sensitive to the whole infertility thing. This is why she's always been so understanding and sensitive to appts and devastating AF appearances making DH late for work.

He's not done though. He starts telling me about her RE... who is located right in the city we live in!! She said he was SUPER aggressive about treatment. For example... she was only on Clomid for 1 month before he said "Nope. Not working" and took the next step. YAY for not wasting time, right?

Okay... the best part? She had her IVF done while working where they work now... and our insurance covers EVERYTHING except the actual IVF, which she said cost them about $1200!!!

All the meds, all the consultations, the ultrasounds, the monitoring... all of that was covered!!!

I... just... can't believe it. I have already pinched myself!!

Hopefully we don't have to go down the IVF road, but it's so wonderful to know that we CAN!

I told him if we don't get it this month, I'd like to think about seeing her RE. I said "Heck, if I go see him and he sees my file, he might be like "Right, 4 rounds of Clomid and nothing... IUI now." DH said "That's what I'm hoping for!"

So... I thought that was wonderful news and just HAD to share!!

OMG Nikki I am so happy I could just cry. That is the best news ever! My RE was pretty fast for us too which is why I have been wanting you to get your butt into one. Now go call and get an appt ASAP. You have already done three cycles of Clomid.

If your insurance covers this you are in great shape.

This is just such fantastic news!

I'm gonna have DH get the RE's contact info for me... I'm not sure how I'd transition from my OB to an RE. I mean, she's been treating me and everything... so it's not like I can go to an RE behind her back... I'd have to let her know, ya know?

I think I'll mention during my next Clomid check that if this cycle is a bust, I think I'd like to see an RE. DH wants IUI if this cycle is a bust. He's tired of waiting and wants a baby like... yesterday!
