Am back...IVF take #2

It has been 13 months since I have updated this blog and said goodbye, quite frankly am not sure why I didnt delete it but glad I did not. :-). Excuse any and all ramblings..as I am still in disbelief about this whole thing.

5/2012-5/2013 Quickie Update
So what's happening in my life...? Well after the D&C I was really depressed but since I was wedding planning I occupied my brain with ALL things wedding, sure I had my moments of sadness but life had to go on. I got married to my bestfriend 2013 and prayed for a break through for 2013. Truth be told my faith has waivered but thank goodness my hubbys did not. I started a new job and just enjoying this new chapter in my life.,.if you recall my previous posts I mentioned hubby as DH for Dear Heart and not Dear Husband as commonly referred...so we never gave up hope BUT knew my insurance did not cover IVF but decided to consult with a local clinic that offers 3 tries for $9900 no meds of course..this is with the intention of possibly financing the cost, while at the consultation the nurse advised that twice a year the RE offers 2 seminars for infertile couples about IVF and if u attend u win a free consultation as well as 1 free IVF cycle with ICSI. As u have it the first of 2 would be in a week...we got there late, hubby annoyed because am Always late (lol)...yeah even to our wedding anyway lots of couples....we listened, asked questions, turned in our form and thought nothing of it...matter of fact. FORGOT about it and then a week ago 5/17/2013 on our way to dinner we got a call...

"Congratulations you are the winners of our 2013 free IVF raffle"...We...ok I screamed and kept saying thank you God....thank you God....we cycle August..Yaaahoooo......a second chance, we feel like we won the lotto...

More to come...
