Oh Gosh Rach - I am so sorry, I am sure that is not the news you needed to hear today, or anyday for that matter. I really hope this turns into something wonderful that you can't even imagine rigt now (like a job that haves IF insurance coverage) I am praying something positive comes out of this. I know it will. I remember hearing this recently, and it made me feel better. "What sometimes appears as setbacks are actually set-ups" Let the news sink in and then that statement. xoxoxoxoxoxox
I am SO sorry. What sucky news. Please vent to us if you need it! But I totally understand if you need a break from blogging. Take care and know that we're all in your corner!
I'm so, so sorry, Rach:( That's terrible. I'll be praying for you both as you go through this difficult time. Hoping your IVF cycle is able to be rescheduled in the near future.
Oh no Rach, I am sooo sorry to hear that. Please let me know if there is anything you need, even if it is just to talk. I really hope this eventually works out for you and that the timing is just off right now. Hang in there!
Oh, no, Rach :( It was NOT a good job day. I am so, so sorry. I hope to see you back on here soon in good spirits, and will be thinking about you as you go through this. I am sending you HUGE hugs and lots of love.
Rach, so sorry to hear about your husband's job. I know that was really a blow that you weren't expecting. Take a break if you need to and we will be here for you when you decide to start posting again.
Rach, I'm so sorry. Please know you are in my prayers. I pray and hope that this turns into a better opportunity for you and your husband...one that maybe difficult to see right now. ((hugs))
I'm so sorry! Getting laid off is never a positive thing but I understand in your situation it's packs much more of a punch to the gut. I hope things take a turn for the better for you and I'll be thinking of you.
I am soo soo sorry! That really sucks it's so not fair! Please know I'm thinking of you guys and praying that he'll find a new and even better opportunity soon! ((HUGS))
Oh no. This is not good. In fact this really sucks.
All i can tell you is that you are stronger than you think you are.... and share my story.... My love was laid off in Nov 08 and we figured worst case scenario would be 12 months out of work. So we made a bare bones budget and he worked hard to find a new job. Unfortunately the economy collapsed beneath our feet in that year. It also was the year that we got our azoos diagnosis - and our furbaby died unexpectedly (after racking up 6k in emergency vet bills). It was hands down the worst year of my life.
This unemployement has extended far beyond the 12 months we planned for, but ML recently got a short term job that will last until December, but then we will be back to looking for work. Somehow we have been able to keep the bills paid and I am so grateful for that. I am grateful for this job that he has right now, and reminded not to take anything we have for granted. I am stronger than I thought I was. He is stronger too... - don't under-estimate the blow to a mans ego of unemployment coupled with MFI. It will cut right to the core of even the most grounded guy. But we've dealt with it all. and love each other even more.
Ohhhh, there is an upside. I LOVE having a house husband. I got used to having the house clean, the laundry done, the shopping done, the meals cooked, the bills paid, the dog walked, etc. when I got home from work everyday.
You have my email, right? foxypopcorn at gmail. feel free to write if you ever want to talk - we can exchange digits...
I am really so sorry Rach. But you can get thru this too. (hugs) foxy
Oh, Rach! I'm so sorry!!!!!!!!! Gosh, I can't imagine how you're feeling. :( If you need to take a break from your blog for awhile, that's fine. You will surely be missed, but you need to do what's best for you. My prayers go to you guys, and I hope your husband lands a new job really soon so that your IVF dreams can come true real soon. Chin up, friend! xoxoxo
Saw your news on LFCA and I'm so sorry this has happened to you! The very same thing happened to me at the end of April when my husband lost his job just weeks before we planned to do IVF. We plowed ahead anyway but it didn't work. Now he has a new job and we're set to try again! I hope your husband is able to find something quickly - maybe even something with insurance that will help with the costs!
I'm so sorry. This is devastating, but you will get through it! I hope that his unemployment only brings a better job with better opportunity in the future!
Rach, I don't even know what to say. I am so sorry. Joey and I went through this last year while we were going through IF, so I know how badly this sucks. Please know that I'm here if you need anything. Thinking of you and praying he finds something soon.
I am so very sorry. Feel free to blog about these changes or anything else you need in the times ahead. Thinking of you and hope this gets resolved soon....
I am so very sorry. I can't imagine how stressful this time must be for both of you right now and how upsetting it is to have to put TTC on hold. I will pray for you.
Oh Rach, no words I say will make you feel better. I just want you to know how terribly sorry I am. I will be praying that good news is on its way soon.
Terrible news - I am so sorry to hear that. There is no describing how unfair IF is, being a financial burden on top of everything else. Sometimes getting laid off opens new (and better) doors for people that otherwise you may not have had, so hopefully that's what happens for you guys. Big hugs to you.
I'm so sorry your husband was laid-off. Has he had any prospects since then? Just thinkin' of you and keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out....
After trying to conceive for 8 months my husband was diagnosed with azoospermia. He has a rare mutation of cystic fibrosis and is missing his vas deferens. We tried IVF with TESE one time but it resulted in a BFN. We started our domestic adoption journey in January 2011 and our baby girl was born 8/15/11. She is totally worth the wait, tears, and heartbreak.
