Infertility SUCKS!!!

Jared and I went to see a fertility specialist on Monday. We had a long talk with him about what has been going on with my (broken) body over the past 5 years. Wow it has been a long and difficult road. He gave us a long list of things he wants us to do. Including several tests that he wants me to have done and one that Jared is going to need to do. They are all expensive tests, ranging from $150-$1000. As we all know, Christmas is coming but I am very anxious to get started, so I started with my first prescription yesterday. All of the tests that I have to do have to be done in a very timely manor and none of them are covered by our insurance. He also wrote me 5 different prescriptions that I filled, which were not cheap either and also not covered. I told Jared I just want prescriptions for Christmas being that they cost so much. The main goal right now is to get my body ovulating, which there is no gaurantee that I will even ovulate, let alone get pregnant. It is very hard for me to not get my hopes up. This is something we have wanted for so long and something we have put a lot of time, effort, and money into. I am hopefull but I am trying not to expect anything. All I know is if God blesses us with a baby, it will all be worth it.

Hang in there! We are thinking of you. I say prescription are a good present : )
Tell everyone to give you gift cards to Walgreens pharmacy.
There are a lot of people that can relate to what you are going through. Talk and be strong!

I've never understood why infertility treatments aren't covered. I mean, at least cover TESTING if not treatment for goodness sakes! Best of luck to you guys!
