I decided to look up grants for help of those facing infertility.
One was extensive about financial aspect, and HAD to go towards IVF. I want to try IUI. So scratch that one.
Another one you could use it for IUI, but you had to have a "normal uterus" seriously quote right there. Talk about a cut to the heart.
One that I did find was that caught my eye was for embryo adoption. This is something I definitely would consider. I kind of smiled when it said "mult-ethnic" embryo donations. It kind of made me smile/giggle to think about giving birth to a little chocolate baby (and I mean this in a non-racist way!!). I am ghost white so to see an African Baby (or any other ethnicity!!) come out at birth would be quite a site. :-) I would not be against another ethnicity for an adopted embryo. Something to pray about because it immediately made my heart happy to think about (This is the link: NightLight.Org They also do other adoptions as well).
http://www.chancetohope.org/ --- This cite has multiple resources for those considering adoption and infertility assistance.
One I am considering applying to is http://www.parenthoodforme.org/ They take recommendation letters into affect, along with finances. This application is due by April 30, 2012. I have a decision to make.
Can I take the time here soon to go to the RE? because they require a letter with a header from the doctor stating what is causing our infertility. Can I make myself focus on school and getting things around for the application? Could we afford a child here at home if we conceived and carried to term?
M being here has changed our what already was going to be a rocky situation. Gah! I would have to step out in faith and believe that if we were to get picked, God would know we would be able to afford the precious little dream we hold in our hearts. I think I am going to go for it. I will wait and see how the next couple of weeks go and then make the call to the RE.
Often things strike my heart and want to come bursting forth. They come spilling out onto the page, or computer screen. With ink filling pages or my fingers flying across the keyboard, my mind going a million miles a minute, and my heart crying out to be heard. Here is where you’ll find those things, my little notes on life.
Little Bit About Me
- Jess
- First and foremost, I am a Christian woman: I love Jesus! In this blog you will find stories of trying to conceive with PCOS, MTHFR, Poor egg quality, a unicornuate uteterus, and too many babies in heaven. It is a good thing God is the ultimate healer! Here you will find praise! and you may also find venting (I'm not perfect...) and you will find other stories of my crazy life. All the while through this journey I am holding on to scripture & hoping to one day be a mother here on Earth (waiting on God & His perfect timing...why am I so impatient?) But in the meantime, here you will find me: Jessica, loving wife, hopeful heart of a mother, and faithful friend.
Those sound really awesome! I hope things fall into place for you guys. I know there's been so much going on. Hugs <3
