I just decided 2 days ago to move forward with IVF and the ball is already rolling!
I called the woman who deals with the grants today to make sure she received my application, and to find out how long it would take to find out if i've been approved. She told me that she anticipates no problems at all, and she sent it to the billing department, but unless insurance covers it we will definitely be approved!
First, I had to schedule the IVF orientation, because if I didn't go to one, I would miss the next cycle and have to wait until January. My 2 choices were tonight or the 18th. These choices sucked. Tonight I have my excel class (for work) for 2 hours, starting about 30 minutes before the start of the orientation. The 18th is 2 days before the cycle starts, and if I waited until then, I would have no idea what to do/expect before then. I was torn.
Luckily- the NP/grant lady called me back, and said she spoke to the front desk and they are going to make an exception for me because they would hate to see me miss this next cycle. Yay! So from now until then- I deal with Gail (the NP/grant lady), and she will tell me step-by-step what to do. Then when the class rolls around, I will be more familiar with everything.
So- on Monday I go in for blood work to start Provera and we are being sent a prescription to get screening bloods done as soon as possible.
On CD 3, I go in for BW/Sono, schedule a water sono and a semen analysis for DH, and I start on birth control pills.

Starting November 20th- we will be on our way *hopefully* to making our dreams come true! (I know, cheesy- but SO true!)
