I am not kidding- God loves me. Amazingly we found out about this company called the Miracle Fund who helps people who can't afford to pay for Invitro, pay completely for it. Can you believe that? You have to meet certain criteria and I guess there are hoops you have to jump through, but dang! It is totally worth it!
I am not sure if we will be chosen or accepted for this fund but just to have hope, that is just unbelievable.

And the winner is....
With trying to be proactive we thought we should do everything we could to get pregnant before we had our last option, Invitro.
SOOOOOO we decided to try Artificial Insemination. I had to take ovulation tests starting on my 10th day after the 1st day of my last period. Geez, that sounds weird. Anyway, so by the 17th day I finally got a positive reading. Now the ovulation test doesn't say you are ovulating that day; if you get a positive reading, it means you will be ovulation within the next 24-36 hours. You need to call your Andrology lab as soon as you get that positive reading and they will set up and appointment for the next day.
My husband had to go first, and going first means exactly what you think it means. I at least was able to be with him this time. I don't think he was as embarrassed as the first time. Then about an hour later we went back and they stick this J like syringe, filled with the concentrated sperm, into your who-ha and through the cervix, which looks like a donut. They inject it in and you lay on the table for like 10 minutes afterwards.
I swear to you I thought that it was going to work. Everything in our lives were so put together perfectly, it was just totally the best time.
When I started my period I will totally admit that I was so stickin' mad. So, so, so mad. What the heck!??! I would be a great freakin' mom, why can't this just work!!???!! Unless you have gone through the hope of thinking you are pregnant and sitting on that toliet and seeing that you started, it is like your breath is taken away, the world means nothing at that moment. What the heck are we supposed to do now?
I mean 10 grand might as well be a million dollars. Seriously.
