To fund or not to fund? That is the question.

We had our doctor's appointment today. It went well. Not a whole lot accomplished, but I wasn't really expecting it to. We did receive an application to apply to "Generations Of Hope", an organization that helps fund couples for IVF. The fact that the doctor gave us the application is a good indication that we might get approved, but you never know. So for now we are going to fill out the forms, send them off and see what they say. I really hope that we get full funding rather then partial.

I had mixed emotions this morning after the appointment. Part of me is so angry and frustrated that we have to even see a fertility specialist, and the other part of me is excited about the possibility of IVF. Not the actual procedure but the fact that we might actually get pregnant this year. I haven't had hope like that for a long time. It feels good to see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel when we were in darkness for so long.

Off the topic of infertility, I went to the emergency room this afternoon, after my fertility doctor suggested it, to check out a blood shot eye. Turns out I have a contagious infection that I received when looking after a friends day home children for a morning last Thursday. No good deed goes unpunished right? lol! So, along with a horrible cold I have been fighting since Saturday (which I also caught from the kids), I have not been to work this week and looks like until my eye clears up I won't be back there for a couple more days yet. Staying home was fun for the first day... now I'm just bored!

Well, I believe that is all for now. Keep praying... especially for guidance as we decide what path God has choosen for us.
