Thank you for your purchase......

Well today I finally got everything straightened out with the company we are financing through for the IVF. It took about a week but it finally happened. Well I got an email from the lady I have been communicating with and it said thank you for your purchase. I just thought that was a funny way of putting that with what we are doing :)
Well I went to the doctor today and on the way there had to drink a bunch of water. I mean A LOT of water. If you know me, I have a very small bladder and use the restroom constantly esp when I am drinking water. Well I get in the doctor's office and the lady could tell I really had to use the restroom so they got me back right away. Well they did a uterus check and she said it was WONDERFUL.. Then I had my yearly check up and did some other test. Then, finally she let me use the restroom and I had to go back and do an ultrasound. She said my bladder was full again while doing the ultrasound. Then, I had to go do some blood work and talk with the financial counselor. It was a long but good visit. Luckily I don't have to go in again until June 2. Tiffany(my wonderful IVF nurse) called and I am on birth control. I only take the active pills and this helps with my lining and keeping me from having a cycle before then. I have never been on birth control so this should be interesting...

Well here is my protocol for the next few months :) Please continue to pray for us through this journey and I will be posting on here a good bit to keep people updated..

You are to start birth control pills tonight. Take ACTIVE pills only. You will be starting lupron ( this is an injection that prevents you from ovulating) on 5/23. (We will call and tell you how to do this injection the day before.) Take your last ACTIVE birth control pill on 5/27. You will need to be here 6/2 @ 8:00am for bloodwork and ultrasound. This is called stimulation day one. You will most likely be starting the fertility drugs that night. We will talk to you that day and give you more information about what meds you will be starting, etc. Starting 6/2, you will coming into the office very often and at one point you'll be here everyday. Your projected retrieval day is 6/13/12. This is projected and could change based off how you stimulate. You will be under anesthesia & your husband will also need to be here to give a specimen. It will be either 3 or 5 days later that we do a transfer. Pregnancy test is roughly two weeks from retrieval day.

I am feeling a little better about the financial end... Just hoping it works out because I get scared on how we are going to be able to afford this.

Today is a picture of my in laws, brother in law, sister in law, and sweet Teagan. They are very supportive through this process and I am very lucky to have them!! I love you all very much!
