Tuesday we meet with the doctors in reproductive endocrinology. After accepting that being pregnant is not a wise choice we have spent the last 5 months trying to deal with the sadness of that. We came away from the appointment hopeful, we were there nearly two hours for our consult. We have decided to go ahead and retrieve my eggs and have them fertilized with my DH sperm and then freeze them. I have to do this while my health is still relatively good. According to the clinic the success rate for fresh and frozen transfers are very close, so when we are ready and our gestational carrier is ready we will transfer. I still have to get approval from my CF doc and the Cardiologists before we can proceed,but I am hopeful.
I know Julie mentioned a scholarship of sorts through somewhere, which I have checked out but think it will take too long to get and I really want to stay here for our retrieval process. But how or where did you all who have/had done IVF find the money to do so? Loans, credit cards (shutter at the thought)? I have to put a call into the clinics financial representative but thought I would see what you all had to say.
Thanks for any input.
