This is my third attempt at blogging. I deleted my previous blogs because they were getting too depressing and I just couldn't go on. I needed to start over. Lets' see how far I'll make it this time.
Last year was disastrous, full of losses on all fronts. I didn't get to cycle at an Eastern-European clinic. The day after I had accepted the donors our lovely strata units owners voted in favor of roof replacement project and all the money we had prepared for DE cycle went towards payment for the roof. We didn't really have a choice.
DH finished his legal studies that lasted for over 3 years. These were three years of living on one income, with desperate attempts to get pregnant, spending tons of money that we didn't have on IVF and getting in debt. After completing his courses with good grades, DH spent 8 months looking for work, day after day, sending tons of resumes.
In September, we went to Seattle to discuss our options with donor eggs. I liked the clinic. I completed pre-screening tests and now I am ready to proceed, except that we don't have $30,000 and I am afraid to take on more debt.
On Christmas eve, DH's mother passed away suddenly from cancer. She was ill two months prior and he was planning to visit her. DH missed his mom by 3 days. She died before he was able to see her to say good bye.
Wow, what a rough year. I'm glad your DH is finished with school, and hope that he manages to find a good job soon. Best of luck collecting the money for the DE cycle!
