Well, it's that time of year again, time to head back to the fertility clinic. I dread it. It's never fun to put yourself through all the tests and procedures; plus, it is extremely expensive, not to mention that it sucks up all my time and enjoyment during the summer. It's hard to plan any trips or events because you have to go to the doctor at random times to have bloodwork and ultrasounds done. If you are a modest person, you won't be after fertility treatments. Heck! You get used to being naked and exposed in front of all kinds of people.
Anyway, I found out, through a friend, about the Compassionate Care Program. It's a program that pays for up to 75% of the cost of your fertility drugs for up to one year. We've gotten the paperwork, and we are in the process of filling it out. I need to make an appt. with the doctor before we send it in. I'm trying to get finished with my seniors before I make an appt. They take exams May 9th and 10th, and then I will be able to make appointments and not have to worry about getting a sub. Please pray that we are approved. My insurance only pays half of the cost of drugs, up to $2500. We've just about maxed it out. We may be able to get one more prescription, but that is it.
We've had around $300 in donations. I am very appreciative of the people who were willing to help out. That money will help tremendously. Our co-pay alone is about $50 each time we go, not to mention all the gas we use driving to Birmingham and back. We will definitely have to do some fundraising as soon as things slow down. I really need summer to hurry up and get here. Thank you all for the prayers and support. I will keep you posted. Here is our fundraising website link. Please feel free to share it with others. http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/our-journey-to-parenthood/50742.
