My hubby called in to pay our deposit this morning. Last time our deposit was around $6K - though we ended up paying more later for the ICSI fertilization. But we knew it would be more this time with my sister being involved. Our deposit for this round ended up being $11,800 and some change! We are going to get ALOT of credit card points next month. ;) But don't worry - we will use our savings to pay it promptly, so no credit card debt here. Just hoping this investment will get us a kiddo or two. Merry Christmas Eve!!
My husband and I got married in 2005 and tried to start our family back in January 2008. We started our 1st round of in-vitro in December 2010 - which is when this blog was started. Despite a near perfect cycle, it resulted in a negative pregnancy test in February 2011. We were fortunate to get 6 extra embryos from that cycle that were frozen. In March 2011 we started a Frozen Embryo Transfer cycle. Despite another great cycle (on paper), all 6 of our frozen embryos had to be thawed to get 2 good ones for transfer - which failed to result in a pregnancy. In 2012, we took the first half of the year off and then tried a couple rounds of IUI with and without fertility shots - still no baby. In 2013, we did our 2nd round of in-vitro with my sister offering to be our gestational carrier. We ended up transferring 2 embryos into each of us and were blessed to welcome 4 babies in October 2013.
