Angels

To most of you reading, y'all know that IVF is expensive.  Ok, that's an understatement!  The procedure itself can cost anywhere from $8-10k depending on the clinic.  That does NOT include the medications required.  They can range from $3-5k alone. 



Toni at Who is This "Fertile Myrtle?" graciously donated her unused Follistim to us for use in our IVF cycle.  The estimate for my IVF cycle will be about 125 IU per day for 12 days.  This one box will take care of half of my stimming! 


As Brandon said, she will forever receive Christmas cards with photos of our future children.  She herself just came out of a failed IVF cycle and is preparing for one more in September.  She easily could have chosen to save the medicine for herself.  I am still floored and shocked by the love she has shown us.  It will not go unnoticed or unrewarded.  She has inspired Brandon and I to try and do more for those around us.  I hope that when we have our children, we can do more to help those struggling with the financial burned of Infertility. 

Thank you, Toni.  God is shining through you to me.  You are continually in my prayers.  I pray that God will bless you as you have me.
