November is here time to Express my Gratitude

So I'm going to try really hard for the Month of November to post things I'm currently Grateful for, both big and small.

To start off my last post was a bit negative and I haven't posted since, Sorry. Through out the years of this infertility trail we have been very fortunate to have health insurance (not that it covers everything at my doctor visits but it helps. Well since my husband started back to school in September we haven't had health insurance. Needless to say my infertility issues don't go away just because I don't have insurance. So as stated in the last post my last few visits have been a little discouraging, okay a lot discouraging. But this post is to be positive and about being grateful so onto that. I really have found an amazing Doctor who I feel has been doing a great job for us on this issue. My last appointment I didn't have insurance he was aware of the hubby going back to school to become a Nurse Anesthetist . He kindly didn't charge me for the ultrasound. What a sweet guy huh! I left that appointment crying with different tears then the last one. Tears of Gratitude.

At my work (Kohl's) it is currently open enrollment for health insurance which I actually qualify for. So I have been trying to figure out all that it entails. My Dr. takes the insurance that I would be getting through Kohl's but the hospital where he would be performing my surgery dose not. So I was left to think do I need to find a different Dr.? Joel and I really don't want to do that. Especially not after all that my Dr. has done for us and where he is planning another procedure, it would feel like we were starting all over again if I had to find a new one.

So today I went in to the Dr. to ask what he thinks is going to happen with the insurance provider and the hospital. The nurse who was helping is actually our Doctors wife. She said you need insurance and you need your specialist which is why going to the other place wouldn't be that great because its just a general OB/GYNO. She has a feeling that something will be worked out before the beginning of the year with the insurance and mountain state health alliance because so many people in this area have that type of insurance it would be stupid for them to not accept it. I then asked what I needed to be doing until the beginning of the year since I don't have insurance and can't have the surgery done yet. I have been on birth control for months now but it was paid for through insurance. She went to the back and brought out two months worth of birth control for me. I was extremely grateful that I wasn't having to pay out of pocket for it. My Dr. and his office rocks.

So the moral of this post that turned out to be longer then I was planning is. I'm grateful for such a great Dr. Who has done some extremely kind things for us during frustrating infertility trials to having no insurance. Today I'm grateful for my Dr. and that I will be getting health insurance at the beginning of the year.
