Insurance in Mass :)

Jody and I have struggled for a couple years now with conceiving and trying to grow a family! It has been TOUGH!! Some days I am perfectly okay with waiting and knowing it's all up to the Lord and his timing... and other days I find myself breaking down and feeling sorry for myself and frustrated with this trial! Mostly, the hardest thing has been not knowing what the problem is! Jody has been tested and the results are great; and they aren't finding any problems with me! The only thing they are assuming is my body doesn't ovulate regularly so it might take us more like 3 to 5 years vs. 6 months to a year doing everything the old fashion way!! Well, its been a good 2 and nothing yet but we keep our hopes high and try our best to improve our daily lives!

This spring/summer we were able to do a couple of Fertility Treatments which we were so grateful for! Obviously, both rounds of artificial insemination didn't work ...but that's okay! We took a break in July to save up again and we were going to do another round in August... UNTIL We found out in Massachusetts (one of the few states) where health insurance covers almost all Fertility Treatments! IN VITRO, EGG RETRIEVAL, ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION, and many others! Are you serious?!? YAY!! Anyone who knows how expensive any treatment is, knows how exciting this really is! We aren't in any hurry to begin any serious treatments but we couldn't be happier about all of this, and also with the wonderful transition Boston is starting to become for us! It is all working out so perfectly and we couldn't be more excited!

That is awesome! I'm sure all those treatments aren't cheap! Ashley couldn't have said it any better, "It was meant to be!"
