Money, Money

I have been thinking about the monetary impact of our infertility treatments a lot lately. Though I'm losing weight at a regular pace, the money aspect is intimidating.

We have a much shorter journey than most couples. Since insurance covers one treatment, our out of pocket cost should not be much more than $2000, but that $2000 looks like a gigantic mountain to climb when we're standing at the base.

My age is creeping up on me fast, and I'm scared about that. It doesn't make the money come any faster. Friends have given me a lot of ideas about how to make money too. I recently started up a shop on Cafe Press selling products with my photography and artwork to try to make a little money. I'm also considering ecommerce stores.

A lot of people have been talking about Baby or Bust and how one couple is relying on the rest of the world to help pay for infertility treatments. I don't think I could ever do that.

I don't know how I feel about Baby or Bust right now. I do know that I have only good wishes for them. They are like we are, struggling with the pain of infertility and likely full of similar apprehensions.
