**News Alert** Exciting new info!!

I totally got the best post-Christmas present on Wednesday!! Well let's start with my day and then I'll get to the good news!! LOL SO I had my appointment with a "normal" OB/GYN for my annual. It is a new DR since the DR I totally love is always ridiculously hard to get into (since she's so wonderful and everyone loves her). I decided to switch to the hospital/healthcare system that my RE belongs to. I've also switched my son and my primary doctor's to this system as well. Anyway - besides wanting to get my Annual out of the way before IVF time, I also wanted to have an OB waiting in the sidelines. I completely intend on getting pregnant and this time I'll have an OB (last time I hadn't picked one out yet). SO I meet this new DR and she seems nice enough. She's not my DR I love but she's nice and we got along fine. I told her all my info and background and of course she felt sorry for me about having to go through IVF and then losing our baby. It was nice she expressed it but I hate when people do that because it makes me cry. LOL Anyway I happen to look down and peeking out of her little DR's coat is a nice round preggo belly. OH that just figured!! I actually did ok with it. Envious as always but I did fine. AND I did remind myself that my annual last year was with a different doctor in my favorite doc's office (because I couldn't get in to see her of course) and SHE was pregnant! Like really pregnant. My IVF right after that I got pregnant so maybe it's a good luck thing??!! LOL I know I'm grabbing for tiny pieces of straw here!! LOL I swear I feel like everywhere I go this week there are at least 2 pregnant ladies. It's like they've got it out for me. LOL My wonderful, understanding, but sarcastic husband said yes Lisa - all these women are getting pregnant just to spite you. LOL Yes they probably are. ;-) I've tried to change my thinking and instead think that this is a sign from above saying - you will look like this soon!! You will have that adorable baby that people should really stay home with when it's snowing and 2 degrees out. ;-) I'm trying really hard just to talk myself into thinking - when I see a pregnant woman - I feel happiness for them and reassurance that I too will receive that miracle. New Year's resolution for me. At least until I give up again. LOL

ON to my big news......SO I get home from the Doctor's office and call my insurance company because they STILL haven't sent me the report I requested in the middle of November showing what has gone to my 15,000 IUI/IVF cap. (that's a lifetime max) Back in November they gave me a number of around 6,000 which meant I would have 1 IVF and maybe 1 FET left to go. We're having a hard enough time coming up with the $$ for the meds. I can't possibly see us saving up 12,000 for an us-funded IVF anytime soon. So I have been coming to terms with the idea that this upcoming IVF would be our last and we might get a FET out of the deal. WELL when I called to complain about the report never coming I talked to a nice guy who said they did a detailed audit on it. He said the actual number is $2572.88 (what I've used!) so I actually have 12,427.12 left!!!!! I asked how that could be when the other number was so much higher and he said they took out anything that was not specifically IUI or IVF procedure. I was almost crying I was so happy. This means that we should have enough to do at least 4 more IVF's and some FET's! I know I just want to be done and I'm sick of all the ups and downs but this news is definitely bringing me UP! This gives us more opportunity to bring home a baby or babies!!! Yes we have to come up with $$ for meds but much more do-able than the whole thing. I'm thinking we can do at least 2 a year. I'm ecstatic. :-) Anway - need to get started on my day. Hope everyone is doing well and my goal is to be more positive this week. :-)
