Aaron and I did some refiguring and took a better look at our insurance. I was wrong. It wouldn't cost us about $2500 after insurance. It would cost us $9K after insurance - if we hadn't used our insurance AT ALL. My insurance sucks ass, so we will be cancelling it at the end of this month. It will be all but tapped at that point anyways and become completely useless, so there's no point in continuing to pay for it if I can't use it.
Next June or so Aaron will be eligible for better insurance. We may decide to just do this laprascopy next year, if our finances are in better shape. We will NOT be doing an IUI this December - I see no point in trying it if my uterus is not in perfect shape. Or at least as close to perfect as I can get it, which means no endo. We'll see what happens after we do the lap...perhaps we'll get KU'd right away, perhaps we'll do an IUI right away to help ensure a pg, who knows. Maybe I'll just give up!
I know it isn't impossible to get pg with endo. My sister did (two boys)- and she had to have a D&C every two years to get her endo cleared out until she could get someone to listen to her and remove her uterus and one ovary. My cousin Mandy, whose endo is so severe she was told she would never have childre, has two little boys. Her sister Christine has severe PCOS and was also told she'd never have kids - her daughter will be two (or is it three? I can't remember) in May! So it's not impossible...but it will definitely be our miracle baby.
I told my parents and my dad seriously pissed me off. I won't even go into details right now because it will upset me all over again, but he is convinced I shouldn't have this lap done unless they are 100% certain that I have endo. Uhhh....on a checklist of 12 items I could answer yes to 8 of them. The only way to know for sure is to go in there and take a look! And yes - I know it's going to cost a small fortune and yes! I know I can't afford it. But I am NOT going to throw more money at my uterus just to have it say "FUCK YOU JEN! NO BABY FOR YOU!" It just doesn't make sense.
Ah...there I go getting all upset. It's time for bed. This has been the worst week in a long while and I am very very glad it's over.

Gosh girl... when the shit hits the fan, it really hits huh? I really wish there was something, someone could do sooner for you!! What sort of ins do you have now? I sort of like Aaron's idea- suing the RE b/c how can they truly do something if they don't know what they're up against?!?
I hope things start looking up... you both deserve a break!
I wish I could, in good conscience, sue them - but I can't. They weren't really looking for it so they didn't know they should do a lap. I didn't complain of spotting - heck, doesn't everyone have it? :) I'm just upset that she didn't take family history into account.
As for insurance, the college has some kick-ass stuff from what I can tell. And as you can see by my newest post, it looks like they may be able to combine surgeries which will save a lot!
