You think you prepare yourself by not being too optimistic, but you're never actually prepared to hear "you aren't pregnant" again. It's been a very rough, trying year for the two if us. We started on this great big journey almost a year ago, and what do we have to show for it? We may not have a baby, we may have a ton of medical bills.. But beyond all of that Marisa and I are stronger than ever. Right now we are not only still processing the news, but grieving for the loss of our blastocysts- you can't help but wonder what they could have been.
So now we make lists. We make lists to make ourselves feel better, we make lists so that we know there is still hope after this.
Option 1: Pregnancy
• Fresh IVF cycle (if the insurance will cover it)
• Frozen Embryo Transfer ($2500)
• Try at home insemination (w/2nd parent adoption)
• Move to NJ, get job in NJ (NJ health insurance pays for IVF's)
Option 2: Adoption
• Move across the border to NJ where it is legal to adopt a child as a gay couple
• Move to one of these great states where it is also legal; NY, CT, MA, NH, RI
Option 3: Stop everything related to having children
• Buy a puppy
