Rollercoasting

Well so much going on here, we haven't had time to post. In our news...Ali was in a car accident, and luckily no one was hurt...Thank you God! As the other woman got out of her car they started to chat a little, only to find out she had delivered her baby at the hospital Ali works and the woman remembered her. She recounted her whole birthing story....the police woman said she was laughing listening to the two of them talking...she couldn't believe the weren't arguing or fighting like many other traffic issues she gets called to.
;)


Baby news.....well Ali went in for her ultrasound to measure her follies...again only one mature one. We are fine with that, it only takes one...right. However our MW thought she saw something unfamiliar to her so she sent Ali to another MW who works for the new RE in town. She scanned Ali and said it looked as if she may have already ovulated......what???? Ali knows her body more than anyone and she will tell you she has not ovulated! The MW went on to say she should come on over to their clinic and get a full work up. That will cost how much? $1500.00 per cycle and 900.00 for meds....holly shit.... on top of the 12,000 spent in sperm, and not to mention pee sticks ,opk monitor, and endless emotional heartache. And does insurance cover any of this....we'll check. Well we all know insurance does not see infertility as a problem. Here is the dilemma...Ali ovulates fine on her own, but only produces 1 mature follicle....even amongst the fertility drugs she has been on..clomid, which we did conceive on...and now Femera. We really don't see a problem and aren't quite ready to go any other routes.... Ali is a bit of a naturalist and would prefer no assistance, but also trusts those who have been on this journey with us. I have a peace about it this time...one I haven't had since our last iui back in May 2007. I can tell you for whatever reason I knew then we were pregnant and we were. I have that same peace this time. Is it my mind playing tricks on me, knowing how bad we both want this? We received a peak this morning, which is one day earlier than normal. We will continue as scheduled. Pray for us as we listen for God to speak.

It only takes 1 egg and a doctor, several nurses, a sperm clinic, delivery service, test, pokes and a BUTT load of money...but hey...who's counting :)
