So after finding out that Stanley’s sperm count didn’t increase the way that we thought it would have after the procedure, we were kind of stuck. What’s next for us? At this point, we don’t have insurance that would cover any infertility treatments and we don’t have thousands of dollars laying around for is to put towards any treatments. Our backs are against the wall so after tons of consideration, we’ve decided that it’s time for my husband to consider changing jobs. I’m sure some of you are like “why would you change jobs just for insurance”?
Insurance is only part of the problem. He also spends a long time commuting and once you factor in the compensation and benefits, it just doesn’t feel worth it. So here we go again on the job hunt. Having a baby is that important to us and my husband is willing to leave his job if it means increasing our chances of getting better insurance. Usually, when he starts looking for jobs, I do the research and find the jobs. I’ll send him the links so that he can check it out and once he give me the okay, I will apply for him. Then it’s up to him to ace the interview. Great team work, huh? 🙂
I’ve also been increasing my client load with my doula work and I’m really enjoying it. It’s so fulfilling to support these women. I’m just praying that God opens new doors for us. We’ve been going through this for 2 years now and although we try to remain positive, it can be challenging at times. I’ll keep you guys posted on the job hunt. In the meantime, keep praying for us.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
