I have been with my husband for 11 years and we have been happily married for 4 years now. I was fortunate enough to find out that I had PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) 6 months before we said our vows. I say fortunate because I am glad my husband had this knowledge before we tied the knot but still I don't think either one of us knew what we were getting into. We have had countless heartaches along our 4 year journey of trying to conceive: 2 sperm analysis, 1 miscarriage, 2 failed IUI cycles, losing 2 foster children we had in our home for 14 months, countless amounts of blood work, 1000's of dollars, 2 insurances, 6 different drugs, 2 different types of injections, but most importantly endless love, support and prayer. Now we have reached the point that we are going "all the way". We are embarking on the venture of IVF! We are hoping soon to do our fist (and only) IVF cycle. We are very excited to try again, but with that excitement comes a huge amount of concern, angst and nervousness.

Because we took a break to do foster care I had to go to the doctor bright and early this morning to get my final blood analysis to be "re-approved" that we are infertile. I almost cried when we found out we had to do this AGAIN. Insurance is crazy in general but for the most part they have no sympathy for us pregnancy challenged people. As if I would fake infertility to pay thousands of dollars and have a doctor get us pregnant. But none the less this is good news because we shouldn't have a problem getting approved and we will hopefully be able to schedule out IVF cycle next week when we get the results.
