Starting From Scratch
So, yeah. It’s been a while, huh? We’ve been so stalled out for so long, that it wasn’t really worth the time to even stop by this little corner of the internet. But, here I am again, swearing that things will be different this time around. Life happens whether we want it to or not, and time goes much faster than it seems. This past weekend marks four years since my last pregnancy loss, and the one that took both of my fallopian tubes. Seems like only four weeks ago.
Change of direction: It’s starting to feel like it’s time. The subject has been coming up more often. People I wouldn’t expect to talk about it have been talking. Strangers who’ve been through it have offered us support. It’s still going to be hard, we still need to save a considerable amount of money. There’s also the issue of maternity insurance for when we’re all through with the procedure…it’s quite expensive, and doesn’t cover for a full 12 months after it begins. Still, with all these hurdles, our goal is one year. Twelve months. We’re going to do everything we can to see this through and get it done. Suggestions, support, advice, ideas…they’re more than welcome here. We won’t be able to do this on our own, that is for sure.
I know that once this is all over, I’ll look back and say “that was the easy part”.

We’ll certainly keep you guys in our prayers.
And, hey, if you end up having a girl, I know where you can get a ton of hand-me-downs…

thanks for your post, I can relate to all of it. We have also had long periods of breaks and then many failed cycles and then breaks…my advice is to never give up!
