Update again...

Ok my friends, forgive me I've been a little sparse lately with my posts... but here goes...

So it's been a while... last time I was updating everyone on our diagnosis from the infertility specialist. We're still just plugging away... I've almost completed 2 rounds on my higher dose of Clomid... I'm currently at 200mg however this last round didn't work for some reason. So after another ultrasound and more tears, and several more negative pregnancy tests, the doctor finally agreed to give me a 7 day round of Provera (progesterone) to get my cycle started because I still couldn't seem to start my period on my own. So, as of today, 7 pills gone, and just waiting. Once I start we'll increase my Clomid dose to 250mg (yay for hot flashes) and see how my body reacts to this dose. So, moving forward with a good attitude, every round of this brings us closer to our baby!! Positivity must be my friend because negativity is so dark and lonely!!

Many nights have been spent crying and worrying over the surgery bill from January. Originally the insurance denied the claim to the surgery center (when they paid the doctor and the anesthesiologist) sticking us with a $10,500.00 bill!!!! YIKES doesn't even begin to explain it when you open that bill!! So after a long appeal process we got word from the insurance today that they are agreeing to pay the bill!!!!!! So, let me break this down for you... once the insurance agrees to pay the bill (even if it's a dollar) my in network benefits apply bringing the beginning total down to $3,000.00 of which I've already paid over $900.00 because the insurance pays 70% and I pay 30%. However, there's a special little clause in my policy... they will only pay a lifetime maximum of $2000.00 towards diagnosis of infertility... so what this means is we're still paying more for this because we've already chipped away at this 2k pot... which no worries, it's still a whole hell of a lot better than the 10K that we thought would take us years to pay off!! I'm still convinced that this whole insurance thing is a scam, but whatever, so let's just cross our fingers that we have the diagnosis right for LIFE!!!!!! Someday I'm hoping for others that the insurance companies will pull their heads out of their asses and start paying for infertility treatment because as of yet, most insurances do not pay for it... so screw you fat cat bastards who decided that having a baby wasn't important enough... may you never feel the pain that I and millions of people suffer from!!!!!

Ok, so I'm done with that... we're just doing life other than that!!! It's summer time and I'm so glad because it means more camping, outdoor activities, and lots of fun! We have some great things planned this summer so stay tuned!!!

As always, my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you!!!
