I now have a frozen embryo transfer delay, unfortunately. I was not 100% sure that I was ready to give it another try a few months ago, so I put of my in vitro fertilization procedure. Then at the start of this menstrual period I decided it was now or never, because I only have my medical insurance for a couple of months before having to start pay $800 a month for COBRA. Thank you economy.
Well, I went for my blood work and sonogram on Day 2 as planned. But that afternoon the nurse called to inform me that the lab is closed the last two weeks in August every year. She apologized for the inconvenience and said she would have let me know if I had talked to her about changing the date. So, I guess that was my fault. Now if I do decide to attempt to put back my only frozen embryo next period I am going to have to come up with at least $800 because the actual transfer probably won't take place until October. Thanks to my pcos I almost never have a 28 day cycle and I'm not on birth control. Aaargh!

Day 2 of My Period is Tomorrow
Day 2 of my period is tomorrow. It really started on Sunday night after 9pm, but the true first day was Monday. As per my instructions, I am to report for blood work and monitoring for in vitro fertilization. I made my appointment for 8:15 tomorrow morning and I am sitting at my computer writing this at 1:30 in the morning.
I am a little nervous because I am not 100% sure that I am ready to get pregnant. I know that may sound selfish to some, and crazy to others, but it's true. I currently have 20 month b/g twins. I was RIF'd from my job at the end of March and my insurance runs out at the end of September. My insurance covers in vitro and his doesn't. So basically I have to try now or it's never.
If I was making a few thousand dollars per month from my sites by now I would feel more confident, but I'm only making about $10 a day. That pays a couple of utilities, but it won't pay for a new round of formula and pampers. But if all goes well I will be making a few thousand per month by next May when the baby would be due. And if this frozen embryo transfer takes I have another idea for a whole new site. But I'll keep you posted.
