Well, the verdict is in....no more IUI's, no Heparin, or laps or other tests or procedures. She said she's certain my egg quality is bad and our only hope is IVF w/ PGD, IVF w/ DE, or adoption. This is due to an eating disorder before puberty that messed up my body. I am fine now, but the damage is done.Dh & I have to decide which path to choose. I am for today, devastated. We had to scrimp on things and save for a simple IUI. As I've said before, we live in a rural area and don't make alot of money. Insurance would probably cover nothing. (Not sure about labs and things may cover some of that, but my insurance is not good.)

She said we could spend $14,000 to do the PGD w/ my eggs, but if they're all bad, then we're out that money. We could go straight to DE, for only $12,000 or just go straight to adoption. My sister's husband has forbid her to donate her eggs.(She had offered a few months ago) I have no other siblings. I feel like doors are slamming all over the place.

My best friend called me on the way to the RE's office, to announce that she woke up in labor early this a.m. and delivered a son. This baby wasn't planned and not necessarily wanted. They are poor, with several children and didn't need another one. The reason why they had this one is her dh refused to watch the other children while she got her tubes tied. So she didn't. He didn't even bring her and baby home last time. She had to call her MIL to come get her.....sigh. So later today after this news I get to go buy gifts and visit her at the hospital.

Talk about personal growth, huh? lol

Thanks for letting me just ramble on. Sorry it's so longwinded and I'm sure some of it doesn't make sense. I feel out of sorts today. Dh & I have much to think about/discuss. And I have to find a way to make alot of cash.

I'm open to suggestions and/or opinions. I'm kinda lost right now.

Ladies, if you don't mind, could you send up a little prayer for us? We need some guidance and help finding out what our path to parenthood is...

Thank you all.....
