[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone, this is the OP.  I am so grateful for the information you've all shared both here and privately.  It has been hugely helpful.  Also, thank you for the words of compassion and understanding.  You've made me cry as I read through them all.  This is such a terribly painful and lonely process and you are offering more comfort than you can know.

Our official test results come back tomorrow morning, but given what we've already seen on the ultrasound, there is really no question what the outcome will be.  I spent part of the day today making calls to the insurance company, my doctor's office at GW, and Potomac Family Planning, which a few of you recommended.  It turns out that I really do need to have this done at a hospital since I have a bicornuate uterus; my OB wants me to do it where they can be guided by a simultaneous ultrasound, and not every facility can do that. Thankfully, we are very fortunate in that my company's health insurance will cover 100% of the procedure at GW, except for a modest copay. So that's where we'll go.  Added bonus:  no chance of protesters outside, which I'm not sure I could take.

I am dreading the days to come, but I know that this decision, excruciating as it is, is the right one for this much-loved and much-wanted baby.  To the PP who reminded me that this is what a strong and loving mama does for her child -- thank you.  Those words in particular have helped to keep me grounded.[/quote]
