Ladies,
Im a bit confused with this one...... I love my hubby dearly and he knows how much I want an addition to the family. This morning after my Lupron shot, I told him that we have 18 days til our ER!!! Now to start, we are NOT rolling in money BUT are not hurting financially BUT he is VERY nervous about spending $8000 for the process right before Xmas!!! I totally understand him and the concerns with the money. And he said with hesitation, " Cant we postpone this until after the new year"? NOW ladies, once we get on the ball with the calendar, shots, drs appts, bloodwork/ultrasound, who WANTS to say, OK I'll hold off? I feel a bit selfish BUT at the same time, I WANT THIS MORE THAN ANYTHING!!!!! Yes, I have started Lupron, BCP for almost a long 3weeks and hopefully can start stim on Thursday!!!
I dont know what I should do. Do I "sweet talk" and reassure him that the money shouldn't be an issue? We decided not to exchange gifts for Xmas, just focus on our 10yr old BUT then I was hit with "hold off" this morning!!!!
Did any of the DH go through the money issues?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Dont know how other states work with the outta pocket med expenses but PA allows you to claim ANY outta pocket expenses during tax season. Speaking to our accountant, she assured me that we would get at least 75% of what we spent back. So I will let you know how I make out after me and the hubby do lunch..... Wish me luck......I know he will have different words this afternoon.
It is up to the two of you what you decide, but I would try and have him continue with what you started.
Good luck with what ever happens!
But just got back from lunch and hubby is just nervous with the holidays, he was laid off yesterday, we have a house that we are trying to sell(the market is pretty rough right now) so he is feeling the stress of ALL that is going on then to throw IVF in, I think was too much for him to process @ 8:30am!! Nevertheless, we are STILL on board for ER on 12/17, YIPPY!!!! So happy. Thanks for the support!
WOW! Im lost for words with that price. But I hear of people spending $30K even more to get pg!!! Now, if I had the "money tree" in the yard, I would try every month is need be, hahaha.
We DID decide that if things dont work this time, we will rest for a bit, enjoy each other and our daughter, go on a honeymoon that we NEVER had. I mean, we are still young, 28 and DH is 26. Right now we are trying to get established with real estate, trying to make our lives at 45 enjoyable! Laying the foundation early is what our goal is ALONG with 1 more addition or 2!!!
i would hate to stop once i started. sweet talk him. men get nervous its our job to hold them together.
