Looking forward to next month

Things finally seem to be falling into place for an upcoming cycle. We didn't end up having to meet with the infectious disease doctor about the CMV. He consulted with colleagues and did some research, concluding that about four months after an active CMV infection both partners would be good to go. Our infections were back in April so that was 5 months ago. I was able to get "okay to start cycle" letters from the doctor which were good enough for my RE.

We are shooting for a mid-Oct retrieval and transfer which if it works, has me about 8 months pregnant at my sister's wedding but that's fine. To me it's better to be very pregnant than to be with a newborn.

I called my insurance company yesterday to discuss how long it would take for them to process the specialty medications and cost. The woman that I spoke to must have recognized what the medications were for because she told me that she tried to get pregnant with her first husband for 15 years (didn't work) and it took another 5 years with her current husband to get pregnant with her now 14 mo old son. Wow. It made me so thankful that insurance pays for the IVF procedure/ultrasounds/bloodwork/etc and for some of the medication as I'm guessing she didn't go through any infertility treatment.

So medications may start coming in soon and Day 1 should be in 15 days (birth control makes this so much easier to predict). I'm looking forward to getting my schedule from my RE and finally getting this show on the road!!
