So first the good news - our offer was accepted! We're going to have to do more work than we wanted to on our own house in order to get the contingencies cleared as soon as possible, but if all goes as planned we'll be moving in 25 days. Unfortunately, that's going to coincide with my older sister's wedding, so it's going to take some serious planning and coordinating to make everything happen, but I'm confident we can do it.
I saw my OBGYN for my pap smear yesterday. She was the doctor who originally referred me to the infertility center last year. She had reviewed my file and all my test results before she came in (I love doctors who do that!) and she told me that while my chances of having a baby were definitely reduced, that a small chance is not the same thing as no chance. She also suggested donor eggs, but acknowledged that it can be expensive. That was a little frustrating. Then I got home to discover the bill for my January surgery in my mailbox, the surgery that I had in order to make sure my uterus was prepared for a baby. It was $3400. At the rate we're spending money, we're not going to get enough out of selling our house to even pay for one round of IVF, much less do some of the work I want to do on the house.
I started my period today, and we're not in a position to pay $15,000 for IVF in 4 weeks, so we'll be waiting until next cycle to get started. I'm so nervous about waiting even one more month, but I think once we're moved into our new house and all of the stress of buying and selling at the same time is over I'll start feeling better about the whole process.
So glad to read you got your housing situation figured out. That must be a big load off your shoulders. And I'm sorry to read about waiting another month - I know how hard it is to have patience when it is all you can think about and all you want. Hoping this month goes by real quick to you, and good luck with the packing and moving!
