Met with RE yesterday. Asked if he thought a laparoscopy was in order-- he said yes, so it's scheduled for 9/11. Yikes! I'm a little nervous, although I had my gallbladder out in 1990, and suppose this will be similar. Another scar for my navel, I guess. He said it's possible any liquid collected in my left tube could be going back into my uterus, preventing implantation. I hope they don't have to take my tube out, but nothing's happened anyway, so I guess it wouldn't make things worse. It'd be so great if they cleaned out some endometriosis or found some other minor problem and we got pregnant on our own. Probably too much to hope for, though.

The RE gave me a web site address yesterday with companies that supposedly include IVF or other IF procedures in their benefits. Since I haven't exactly had a stellar career to this point, I'm open to anything, I guess. There are a couple of stores (Dillard's, Casual Corner) that are included on the list. I suppose I could do retail, but I don't exactly relish the thought of being on my feet all day. I worked at Sears part-time several Christmases ago, and I really did enjoy it. Don't know. Job searching is so frustrating.
