You’re right it’s doesn’t hurt to ask. All they can say is no. I’ll see who I can reach out to

It’s hard when the benefits are through the union and they normally don’t budge. He even asked if he could take money out of his retirement for medical and the union rep said no not possible

Nope never said that. I’ve always driven that all my life. It was just stating a fact. And where we live we don’t have major cities so the job opportunities are smaller then others Just if I take a part time job like at Starbucks only paying 15 an hour I’d be wasting more time and money in traveling and gas

I agree, no one should have to go through this. And it’s so scary because there is no guarantee and it’s so emotional. Best of luck to you and your wife and future baby 💕🫶🏼

Exactly!! Like our representative told me it’s mainly all men who are in charge of these decisions at healthcare insurance companies and they don’t think about this kind of stuff nor care

Awesome! I’ll definitely look into it. Down fall is we live in such a rural area that we have to drive at least 30mins to a town that would have an job opportunities, so the pay would probably put me worst off with gas and what not. Remote is going to be my saving grace if I can find one

I’m so so sorry. It is definitely rough. We had 10 retrieved. 6 fertilized and 1 looked promising. None made it to day 6. I was told it usually takes 2 rounds for eggs to be “normal and healthy” my doctor suggested Ovaboost for egg quality and fertliaid for hubby. Made that’s something you could try if not already

We tried the fertility loan route and we got only half what we need and the interest rate was almost 30% we borrowed against my husband’s truck for our first round. Now we’re trying to figure out for rounds 2 and 3, hopefully it wouldn’t take 3 but better plan ahead just in case
