could it be falling into place
So when I started the whole clinical trial thing month ago. I met Rebeka who works at a research center in Clearwater (about 2 hours away from me) She said they had a trial for IVF that cost 5,000 for everything!! Well I had NO money at the time and had to turn it down. I told her to call me if anything comes up she was SOOOOO WONDERFUL ABOUT IT!! ANyways on Fri. I decided to call and check up and see if they had anything! She told me they had 2 slots left in the same trial!! Well at the end of the month I will receive 3,000 stipend for my certification work. Also, teachers receive their summer pay at the end of JUNE. Its like 4 checks at one time. The problem is should I take 2,000 from my summer pay to put with the 3,000 I will get and do the IVF?? I am working over the summer and I could replace the money but in August it will get really tight, but we could make it. I am so nervous!! I want to take a loan for a least 1,000 for a cushion. I don't know...What??? I am nervous that this might be the chance we are looking for..but what if it doesn't work?? I don't know....

OMG how exciting!!!
Often when I am in this kind of a predicament I ask myself what I would regret more. Would you regret being poor trying or having a little extra money and not trying now?
Personally I would jump on it!!! When are you going to get a chance for IVF for $5,000.00? and the money seems to be all lined up!!! I would not worry about taking out a loan unless you need it. If you are really tight with your money the next couple of months i.e. not eating out, cut out the cable all the little things add up.
Good luck and keep us posted!!!
You asked for my 2 pence so i\'m going to give it to you.....LOL.
GO FOR IT!!!!!!
You said August will be tight - tight like you can\'t buy clothes & stuff or tight like you can\'t pay rent/mortgage & eat? If it the former ABSOLUTELY do it - $5K is a GREAT price for IVF!
Let me know how this all pans out for you. Major exciting!!!!!

THanks ladies, I am so excited! It\'s so funny when I mention this to other people, they are like 5,000!! I always have to say, in the infertility world, 5,000 is like IVF on SALE!!
GO for it! You need to do this!
I would do it. Good Luck. There is a reason there were slots left when you called. XO :)
