Third times a ???

So today we got the IUI again.  We had 3 good eggs. Everything else also looked good.  We thought this would definatly be our last time, but talking to the NP today she said that the doc would not be in for another consultation for a while if this time didn't work, so we should just go for a forth time. However, we hope not to have to try again, of course :).  We are not entirely sure what we will do if it does not work this time. We have spent over 3000 so far, and wiped out our health savings.  It is not only expensive, but a definate emotional roller coaster. The drugs certainly do not help with that.
It definatly hard to find out month after month that there was no success, especially with doctor intervention.  However, everything happens for a reason. 
 I know the Lord creates miracles.  I know he will put a child into our lives when the time is right, but as I said before, I don't know when that time will be.  It is hard to wait and put that trust in God, but his plan is always better.  We are still hoping and praying for a child, another miracle baby. But if not... I am so greatful for the first. He is a handful for sure, but definaly a joy and full of smiles. Growing more each day. :) His current request is for a sister.  So keep that in mind for your prayers :) (ha ha)

looks like....

Looks like we are in for a round three folks.  We were not able to get pregnant. This time it was a little more hard to get the news than the last time around because it does not leave us as hopeful for a third shot.  However, we are going to carry on and hope that third time will be a charm.  We definatly need lots of prayers for health and strength to try again.  Michael only wanted to go through this twice, but he is willing to try this last time.   I really hope we can get pregnant; however, if not, we are considering adoption also.  If we get to that stage we will also continue to discuss that on this page, so you won't be left out. :).  The other option if this does not work is IVF, invetro fertilization. We are not sure we want to do this option, as it costs much much more and is very invasive. (about 10-12,000 plus medication and of course insurance does not cover it, nor does it work everytime).  It would definatly eat up our savings and we really need to hang on to that if michael gets into school this year. So I am not sure if that would even be a real option.  Adoption is also very expensive obviously , so if this route does not work, our next child may not be here for a while...
Anyway, stayed tuned because here we go again....
