"It's either this, or nothing."

What a devastating thing to hear. 

When we were told this, it was devastating. IVF was something that happened to OTHER couples, not us! It’s a scary prospect!

Basically what IVF is, the egg is taken from the wiman, fertilized outside of the body, and then reinserted, and it attaches to the uterine wall as a regular pregnancy would be.

And this was essentially our only option.

It’s really a pretty viable option, especially in cases of male infertility. As our doctor put it, “for IVF, one million sperm is 999,999 too many.”

So with a lot of prayers and fasting, we decided on that option for growing our family.

Since I know we’re going to get the question, yes, IVF is terribly expensive. We were able to get a loan for the main bulk of it, and my parents were so kind to pay for medication. I am not going to post the exact price, but I will say that it cost between 12k-14k. Is it worth it? YES!

People focus so much on the cost of IVF. I have heard before, “their baby was so expensive!” But you know what? Every shot makes you think of your future child. Every doctor visit gives you hope. Each tear ahed through this very emotional process makes every cent seem so much more.

I would gladly pay for this experience. And I am!

Fingers crossed, friends.
