Hi,
I do not usually post threads in this specific forum, well because I have never needed to. However, after many years of trying to have a little babino we found out that the only way to do so would be adoption, donor's, or In Vitro Fertalization. Since we decided that we want a baby that is either all or none of our own dna we opted out of donors, which was the cheapest route. The cost between adoption and the IVF comes out to about the same when it is all said and done. My wife has said she really wants to have the "pregnancy" experience, I don't understand this one, but hey if that is what is important to her, fine by me.
With that being said we have chosen to do IVF and she will begin taking the hormone injections in a about a week or so. The majority of individuals who go through this process I have talked to do not have the same type of career as myself and were able to help their partners with injections, doc visits and such. So my purpose of this thread to get as much friendly encouraging advice from pilots or spouses of pilots whom have gone through this process and how you managed your sanity while at home and on the road while knowing your wife is at home having to self-inject themselves with these medications.
This whole process seems overwhelming and stressful, but we know what we will be getting out of this is going to be well worth the tough road ahead.
If there are any of you out there I would appreciate advice and input. If there is anyone out there who has gone through this I will be doing post here on the progress of the procedures.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can chime in and coach me through this!
