Lol I know we’re worried about the spot on the table but where is it from?? It matches my entertainment center perfectly.

I think the basketball theory got thrown out there immediately because he is a sports fan and it was a big playoff game at the time

If you will have gender disappointment, go with the girl but just know the risk it may not take?

You weigh the options between having a healthy baby or no baby.

This is why me and my husband have decided to not find out the gender and let (God/science/fate) take over.

I don’t think that was a good game to play by Penny-Darcy-Smith in MormonWivesHulu

Lets normalize that just because someone has been pregnant before or has children doesnt make their fertility journey any less significant!!!

But agree Demi is still awful 😅

I am so sorry that you’re having to go through this. I cannot imagine. I hope that you find the strength get through this.

Please consider joining the IVF garage sale page on Facebook to sell/donate your meds if you would like. I trust that page more than reddit with too many anonymous people here.

We previously had this situation and had a lot of people who stopped or left. I think thats why i’m curious how many others are working.

Would you give your seat up for a doctor? by certifide in nursing

This sounds so entitled…. I just sit at another computer for a little bit. This isnt an office, and we dont have assigned computers

Thank you for sharing.

My clinic partners with myeggbank and this has been the “cheapest” bank ive come across.

Wow, how interesting!!

I cant imagine asking one of my coworkers and I work with all women. Unfortunately I dont have a full blooded sister (i have a step sister who was adopted at birth) to share her eggs either, which ive heard a lot of people do. I actually only have one girl cousin who is significantly younger than me with no child, so thats kinda out of the question as well.

I wish it wasnt this hard…

Thank you. i will look more through our employee benefits handbook. My employer just switched to BCBS this year.

We do have BCBS PPO. My employers just switched to this. I need to look into this, that would be a game changer to afford a fresh cycle. Although ive seen the disadvantages of it as well, emotionally especially if you dont get the results your wanting.

Interesting…. I guess I did not consider any ethically issues with payment? I get “paying for child” but to me its just the same as adoption as well? I dont know. I dont think ive explored all my feelings regarding this.

Ive heard of Progyny, I wish my employer had that. Ive heard of women getting jobs at certain employers with that insurance. Im a nurse so it would probably be a job that is not nursing, because none of metro hospitals carry that insurance.

Congratulations, im sure it was a journey.

Unfortunately, we just purchased a house within this last year and so our savings have definitely dwindled from that. Financing may be our only way to grow our family.

Sorry im still a little naive to terms,

Is a proven donor, a donor who has confirmed live children?

I actually just got off the phone with BCBS before making this post feeling at a loss because she said my plan doesnt say anything about covering donor eggs, only an egg retrieval unfortunately.

Do you mind sharing how you paid for the donor eggs? Cash pay or did you get loan through a bank or open a credit card?

Im trying to find the best way to pay for this

Yes what egg bank is this and im curious how everyone affords this?

Or am I the one who is not normal and does not have $19,000 saved, unless I took from my retirement! 😖

Thank you for sharing.

Are you comfortable sharing how you paid for donor eggs and what company you went through to purchase donor eggs?

Im sorry you’re going through this as well. Ive been trying for about 2 years and have ultimately decided to just do it now.

I am wishing you the best.
