On Making Babies

Well,
I'm not pregnant after our 3rd IUI failed to work.
We have been at this for 10 moths now, it kinda doesn't even seem real.
Everyone (except for like 3 or so people) that I hang out with on a regular basis are pregnant! Its sad for me at times, but it really isn't as bad as it was before, its just sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the world not pregnant!!

We have decided to stop trying for a month because since I quit my job I haven't had health insurance.
No one will cover me because I'm receiving fertility treatments.
Ive been turned down by 5 insurance companies. And if I get pregnant and don't have insurance well, that would cost a ton!
Its BULLSHIT!!!
but I won't get into that. But I will say that it is the most frustrating thing to add on top of all the stuff that is going on with us.

So yesterday I called the clinic to let them know that we would be taking a break until I got health insurance :(

4 hours later I got a call that one of the places accepted my application and I will have coverage in about 3 weeks!!! the only thing that makes me mad is that i didn't have to stop trying but I found out to late because I would have needed to go in for an ultrasound that day.

So we are only taking this month off.
This will be the first time in 10 months that I wont be pumping my body full of hormones.

On April 11th we go in for injection teaching and then when I get my period they will do a baseline ultrasound on CD 1, 2 or 3. Then I start the hormones Ive been on plus the injections then we do another ultrasound around the time of ovulation and they count the follicles and we probably go in the next day for the IUI. The injections make me ovulate 3 or 4 eggs so hopefully that increases our odds!

I'm really, really, REALLY enjoying my time at home with chasen!:)
