I got a call on my cell phone at work the other day, I didn't recognize the number, but thought I better answer it since I give my number out at work somewhat frequently.
It was a representative from the Attain IVF program, the "insurance" type program we used that guaranteed us 3 tries at IVF, if we didn't bring home a baby, we'd get our money back. (This was about a $16,500 investment and didn't include the expense for medication {very expensive} and ultrasounds.) The representative wanted to let me know I had another IVF session left. I wanted to laugh out loud. That just doesn't seem like something a person would forget, but maybe some do? I refrained from exclaiming, "We DO? That is WONDERFUL!" and instead I told her the truth, "Yes, we are aware of that, but thank you for calling." That extra session will be sitting there for a while until we figure out what to do. See, we still have a frozen embryo in Minneapolis, the agreement is if we cashed out now we'd lose 25% of the funds because we have a frozen embryo. And, if we cash out after I am 36, we lose 25% of the funds because of my age. Decisions, decisions! By the way, we just paid $275 to keep that little embryo frozen for 6 more months. We'll see.
