IUI in Question

After practicing this line over and over again in my head the entire day, a few weeks ago I stumbled into the kitchen, and said, “Babe you wanna do a IUI a year from now in December 2009”, my optimistic yet worried husband said, sure let’s do it, but I thought it was $25,000 (example 1 that he listens when I talk) “No” I said back, “IUI is covered under your insurance, but IVF which can cost up to $25,000 is not covered.” We can save for the IVF all next year if the IUI’s don’t work”. That night DH was totally happy and positive, but by that morning there was no words on what was spoken. Two weeks later when I had a bladder infection, my new OB/GYN asked about my TTC efforts, amazingly he ordered bloodwork, an ultrasound and a S/A for DH. When I told DH about this all in an email he did not respond, I then wrote him again and said you know what it’s okay, we just bought a house and we can wait. To which he responded with “I love you”.

Now Christmas Eve, as Grandpa touched my empty stomach and asked if there’s a baby there yet, to my reply of no, probably never….DH looked concerned and said to me “I thought we agreed to wait a year, Next December”…..
