Hey Colorado Babes-
I prefer not to have my first name on the forum, but I've met a lot of you "off-line" aka: private messages that know my first name.
I'm always open to speaking through private messages....so send me a message if you'd like to talk.
I live in the Denver metro area, we moved out here from N. California about 4 1/2 years ago. Wish I would have started TTC 5 years ago...but thus, I did not. Now, I find myself 31 years old and no hope in sight for a babe. I'm trying to stay positive! 3rd IUI is scheduled for October 10th or 11th, but I already have my eye on IVF…..just waiting for hubby to catch-up with me.
I do have a blog if you like to visit me there too! (the link is at the beginning of my signature.)

How fun!

Hi gals,
I live in Denver and am a 4th generation native! We've been trying to conceive for over 3 years now, and haven't had problems getting pregnant, it's just staying pregnant.

Good luck to all of you. Hope to talk to you soon!

Also- If anyone in Colorado has insurance that covers a portion of IVF....please let me know!! We are searching, and I don't know if there are any, but it is at least worth a try to see.
Thanks!!

Hey fellow Colorado peeps! I am outside Boulder. I moved here from N. California 5.5 years ago... small world huh?

I have been to both CCRM and Conceptions, anyone else? I do know of one company that covers IVF here... Amgen. I worked for a company that covered it as well, but unfortunately the parent company shut our plant down last year. Fortunately (for me) I got pregnant the month before having to do IVF or I would have to have done it while on COBRA...

It sucks that CO is not a mandated state for IF.

JenCat- This really is a small world because I moved to Colorado from N.California just a little under 5 years ago!! Whereabouts in N.CA are you from? We moved out from the Sacramento area, but I grew up in Paradise (if you know where that's at, just outside of Chico.)
I called DH's other health insurance options and none of them cover IVF. So, we are going to stick with Kaiser for the time being, try a few more IUI's with some different meds, then move to IVF in the spring if we have to. I am going to go to CCRM for IVF. One of the docs there came highly recommended. I think the name is Dr.Gustofson, or something similar to that. I'm hoping we don't have to go IVF, but we are prepared to have we have too.
You are so lucky to get PG before you had to go IVF, I'm hoping for the same luck!!!
