Stephanie, sorry that your final IUI didn't work. While you are taking a break and saving for your IVF enjoy time with JD. Get back to yourselves and enjoy not having to deal with the stress of doctor's appointments and procedures. You'll be in such a better place when you finally get in for your IVF that it'll be wonderful. At least it was for me. As for saving, see what is really important to you and see what you can cut out. I don't know what bills you have but for example (things we looked at): get rid of the satellite or cable, cut down a bill with a high interest and see how much you save each month (or even pay it off and that's one less bill you have per month), can you downgrade on your cell phone package or live without a cell phone for a few months, etc. Cut down on your groceries by buying store brand versus name brand. There are lots of options. We are in the middle of trying to do the same so we can get some money saved up (after our hospital bills are paid of course) too. Better to have extra money and not need it then need it and not have it. Hopefully you guys can find some options that work best for you and get your money saved up in a decent amount of time. As for extra income there are always those things like Mary Kay, Avon, Candles, etc.
