IVF, here we come!

Well, after our latest disappointment I thought we would be on a break saving for IVF.  We are fortunate enough to have parents that want to help and, although, I don't like taking money I feel this is important enough that I need to get over myself.

So, here we are getting ready for IVF!  I'm on BCP until my hysteroscopy that is scheduled for February 13th and will start the cycle right after that.  I'm excited and terrified at the same time.  Really scared it won't work and even more scared it will.  I've never been pregnant before and I'm so terrified that I'll be over the moon excited when it works (because I just know it will work) and then miscarry.  I really hate that IF has made me so scared.

I've also switched REs (hopefully for the last time).  I'm now with Dr Witz at Houston Fertility Institute.  I really didn't want to go there because of their cheesy awful commercials but it seemed like everyone recommended them.  One of my dear support system friends recommended Dr Witz and I agree that he is amazing.  He has already called me twice.  The first time it scared me to death!  I've never been called by the actual RE so I assumed it had to be bad news.  Nope, he was just calling to apologize for a delay in b/w results.  The next day he called to make sure I didn't have any questions about my upcoming procedure.  I'm so impressed with guy.  I sure hope he knocks me up!

Oh, and one more thing!  Everything costs more than expected.  Who knows how much the hysteroscopy will cost plus the gallons of b/w they did.  But the biggest shock was my meds.  They told me $2-5K but average is $3K.  I have been very fortunate to receive some direct donations from the awesome ladies in my support system and also some samples from my previous RE and leftovers from previous cycles.  I have $3K worth of meds in my house right now (all of which I can use for this IVF).  I got the meds total from the pharmacy on Friday.  Another $3K!  What?!?  That's right at $6K!  I think it's a mistake.  I plan to call the RE tomorrow.  I'm not DOR so I'm not sure why they prescribed so much.  Maybe I'll be making a large meds donation after I get my BFP!
