How Long Have You Been Trying? (Optional)
I have been trying to conceive for about eight years now.
Do You Already Have Any Children? (Optional)
I don't have any children. I spend time with my family and their children but it's not the same.
Where Are You In Your Trying to Conceive Journey:
I participated in a share donor program a year ago and two embryos were inserted but it didn't work. I want to try again but the cost is so much that I have to wait. I wish there were some way that I can get it for free but that will never happen! :)
I am going to try this doctor in Pennsylvania when I get the money to do so. It's hard when you don't have the proper insurance. I pay $200 a month for empire blue cross and it doesn't pay for the IVF. What a bummer!
Describe in More Detail Your Infertility Story:
I'm in love with a great man! We've been together for four years now and he and I want to have children so I told him that I couldn't have it naturally and he was ok with that. I don't think he understood what I meant when I said that I would have to undergo IVF as I didn't understand when I was first told by my doctor.
Last year we tried the IVF process and when it didn't work, I was so sad and I didn't want to be around any children, but the problem is that I have to because I love the presence of a child. So pure and innocent. I'm a child myself sometimes.
I'm looking to do it this year as well as soon as I can get the funds to do so. I can't wait! I know and believe strongly that I am going to be a parent. It's just a matter of the right time and place.
Lessons Learned
- To tell you the truth... I haven't learned anything but that there are people out there killing there babies and the doctors make it so difficult for people like to me have children through IVF as if I'm not going through a lot now. They just put more stress upon me.
