Oh, that's actually something controlled by the messageboard administrator who can set up the messageboard to display it or hide it. The IP number tells you what host you're posting from and can even give away your location.

Yuck!! I hope it works out for you. My wife had to have some surgery to take care of uterine cysts since the last time we did the IVF.

I have to say we're very lucky. My company's health plan pays for nearly 100%. If it didn't, we might not be doing this. It doesn't pay for everything, like the cost to freeze sperm or embryos, but damn near everything else. We get 2 more tries though, and that's it. After that, we pay for everything! So we're REALLY hoping this try succeeds.

My wife's doctor is an OBGYN and he's fantastic. All you'd hope for in a doctor. When we were forced to terminate the pregnancy last time at about 5 months, he delivered the fetus and made it as easy on us as it could have been. We had a great IVF doctor too, but he's now moved on. We have a new one now and he seems to be working out okay. It's the same office so it wasn't much of a change. It's Fertility Centers of Illinois.

I'm 38 and my wife is 34, so we're hearing that tick tick tick tick. We still have time, but we sure don't feel like waiting anymore. I'm actually hoping we have twins this time around so we can say we're all done with birthin' babies and get on to the business of parenting. :)
