Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I can't tell you all how much I have loved reading all of the e-mails in the group. I have learned so much and have enjoyed getting to know you all but I think I will be leaving the group. I went and had a hysteriopinography (not sure how to spell) to see if my tubes were open. I had gastric bypass surgery 15 months ago, have lost 140 pounds and still have not gotten pregnant in 8 years. 8 years ago I had a tubal pregnancy and lost one tube. I assumed that my weight has been preventing additional pregnancies but apparently not. It seems that I still have one good tube but it is not open from the uterus because they think part of my uterus is undeveloped and actually seperate from another part of my uterus that leads to the tube that has been cut away from my tubal. Another words it is like it's own pouch with no opening to the uterus or cervix so no sperm. I'm just devistated. I wanted another baby so badly. I have a son from my previous relationship who is turning 10 in 2 months but I would have loved to have a baby with my husband. I just feel so horrible. The last week has been full of a lot of tears and anger. I have looked into the cost of in vetro but that is about $10,000 and my insurance won't even cover 1/2. I'm starting to think my door has been closed. I really never thought being told that you can't have anymore children would be so painful. I'm only 30 and thought I still had time...this was one of the reasons I had gastric surgery to begin with. I always wanted a big family growing up but I would be thrilled just to have one more. I guess I have to get used to the thought that I'm lucky I have my beautiful son and be thankful for that. I love him with all of my heart, I just wish I could give him a sibling to grow up with. I wish everyone well with their pregnancies and my heart goes out to all of those who have lost babies, may you be given many more in return! Thanks for all of the wonderful e-mails and conversations. If I ever find myself with the ability to raise the money for in vetro, I will be back.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Tisha, I went to my insurance co (HMO BLUE) they said if it was medically necessary they would cover the cost of invitro. The clinic also told me that Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare covers invitro as well, so do more checking there has to be some insurance company out there that can help you.
