Public Service Announcement

First, let me say...we have spotting! I called the nurse today to tell her I'd have to cancel. She told me to wait until the morning to be sure, and just not to come in in AF wasn't here by then. My acupuncturist did the best she could tonight to get things moving, and I think we might just get there tonight. Yay for staying on schedule! (I hope!!) I also think that acupuncture is making a huge difference all around because I barely have any PMS symptoms this month. I will take that as a good sign.

Now, to the PSA. Tippy posted this important news on her site yesterday.


If you haven't already heard, a bill was introduced into the Senate that requires YOUR attention. The bill, if passed, would help those of us paying for infertility treatments with a pretty nice tax credit.


Here is some information about the bill from RESOLVE.
And here is a link to a form that you can fill out quickly to send an email to your US Senators saying you support the bill. PLEASE send this information to your friends and family.

I have been extraordinarily lucky that I live in a state with mandated coverage, and have great insurance. When I hear about the costs that many of you face, I want to vomit. It makes me feel lucky and heart broken at the same time. I often wish there was something I could do to help others who have not been so lucky. I joined RESOLVE, thinking every bit helps. And here is another great opportunity to advance our cause. 


I urge everyone of my followers to click on the link and fill out the form. It only takes a minute, and it's something easy we all can do to help each other.

  3. Yay! So happy things are moving along!

    Have to tell you a quick story. This morning while driving into work, we were listening to the radio. At the same time each morning, they do the birthday announcements, and this morning the first one said "Happy 1st birthday to Violetta, love Mom and Dad"..I obviously thought of you right away. I think that's a good sign :) I've NEVER heard that name before meeting you!

  4. So glad things are getting moving!! Steve and I have joked about moving if we have to do IVF for a second time b/c we won't be able to afford it. Ridiculous!

  5. Cost was the main thing that held us back from doing IVF sooner. It's outrageous the money involved! I'll look into that form for sure! I am surprised that more states aren't mandating coverage. I have thought about moving too...but my family is here...
