I got an email today from Resolve. I want to know everything going on in the world of fighting for our rights so I try to keep up with the proposed laws and what congress thinks about us. Advocacy day is April 25th and Resolve wants us all to go to DC to fight for our right to have baaaaabies! Sorry Beastie Boys moment there. They say we are closer than ever to gaining something to help pay for IVF. I really want to go, even though my journey might be over, I would love an opportunity to talk to Congress and tell them that while I am trying to save money to pay for a CHANCE at being a mom, I am also paying through the nose on taxes because I don't have kids. It's completely unfair that the people who shouldn't be having kids keep having them and I am paying for them. I don't know, should I spend the money to go? Bills have been introduced for the past 10 years and never even make it out of committee. The world doesn't care about us and if I'm not going to have any children to worry about, what do I care what the world turns into after I'm gone?

I'm torn on this one. From a money standpoint I would say stay home and pay that into your IVF bills, from an avocacy standpoint it would be incredible to be tehre in the thick of things. I have to say I really think that the infertility medical community needs to be more regualted. The meds are WAY too much and there is way too much disparity in what procedures cost from clinic to clinic. But, I do like that since it isn't regulated I got to have more control of my care, I wasn't forced to try multiple IUIs that wouldn't help my condition but just make it worse by exposing me to more disease feeding drugs... so in a way it was a blessing for my body that insurance didn't really ahve a say in my care.
