I then picked my jaw up off the ground...really? Then she told me how much OUR portion will be. It was half the original amount. That was better, and I'm extremely thankful that my insurance covers 50% of fertility medication. But still...open jaw here!
Well Josh and I have secretly been fretting this...I haven't said a word to him though, and he hasn't said a word to me about it. But I still know that we're both thinking "how can we do this". We've looked at our budget though, and with our spending habits, we really waste a lot of money...and I do mean WASTE! We're going to just have to be disciplined and strict about how we spend our money and that means cutting out one of the things that we love to do...going out to eat! Now we don't go out every day, but a few days a week we'll either pick up something or go grab a bite. Those little trips add up. I never realized it until I NEEDED to realize it. Once I added it up, I realized that if we eat at home and pack our lunch every day, we can get pretty close to that "jaw dropping" number! That makes me feel 100 times better!
I know that it's all going to work out one way or another...I know that neither of us needs to stress about the cost, because if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. I know that we don't need to worry about whether or not this is going to work...I feel very strong that it will, but I know if it doesn't, it's still just not our time.
I feel at peace with all that's going on in our life - in His time, not ours!

Sorry if I have seemed stressed about it, I know it will all work out for us. Love you.
ok here is a suggestion. Make you a baby jar. eveytime you get the urge to go out and eat or stop and get lunch put that money in the jar. Make you one and josh one you know one for a boy and one for a girl. That way you will be building up a stash that will pay for your meds when you need it. Like you said it will work out.
We never really pay attention to how much we are spending until we are forced to notice. It's a good thing to realize it now :) and set good habits!
When we were doing our treatments we used Southern Pharmaceutical in Homewood off of Oxmoor Rd. They were the cheapest. I am not sure if that is close to your work home or hospital. Their number is 879-5300
Good luck. I know it will work out. I did that follism and it is expensive. My insurance didn't pay 50%. Hopefully you won't have to take it long before you are pregnant. Praying for ya'll. Love ya'll.
Girl we have been there too. It's so frustrating sometimes that people all around us are having babies left and right and we have to PAY for ours. But know that God has big things waiting for you and He will bless you MORE than you can ever hope and imagine. He is the God of all miracles and yours will be coming soon!
