The journey for our miracle

Well for the past month it's been crazy and kind of long. Nothing too exciting with just taking Birth Control Pills daily. Today Sunday, January 24th was my last day for my Birth Control Pill. I can't explain how excited I am to be doing this and I'm really praying so hard that this will work. Going through Fertility treatments can be very emotionally and physically draining. I have a great support system with a message board that I have been apart of for a year now. WOW a year already that went really fast. Friday I go to my RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist) for a baseline u/s and b/w. I'll wait for that call telling me to start stimming on Saturday. I am really nervous and excited at the same time. I received my box of shots and meds for this and it's a bit overwhelming but I know I'll be fine with doing it and knowing what to do and when to do it. If this does truly work it will be a miracle. I know I've said it a million times but I'm going to say it again. I never EVER imagined how truly hard it could be to try to conceive. I am praying for everyone who suffers with this and wish there was no such thing. I will try to keep updates going on during our journey. Although most of you won't even be reading this until after we find out we are pregnant. But atleast you can read our true desires to have a baby. This is the one thing that both Dave and I have been praying for like crazy.

The start of our IVF journey

Dave and I have decided that we are going to start IVF. It's been a really hard decision because it is so much money to do and it's not guaranteed. However it has a much higher success rate that the IUI's we have been doing. IVF has a 60% success rate, I have great insurance coverage for it so we are going for it. Today Monday, January 4th I went to my RE for a cycle day 4 check up. I had an ultrasound and bloodwork done. I got my results early afternoon and everything was fine so tomorrow I start taking the birth control pills. My dr's nurse looked over to make sure all of my tests were up to date, most everything was except I have to have a saline ultrasound done. I made my appointment as soon as I could so I will be going for that on Thursday, the 7th. One other thing I was told was to call the IVF coordinator for a consultation at the clinic. I did that as soon as I was given the go ahead for starting everything up. The appointment is for Friday the 15th, I will find out more at that appointment. This is all starting to seem so surreal before it was all talk about doing IVF, now it's so real... I'm so very excited to be moving along in my journey yet I'm also quite nervous and thoughts keep running through my head, what if this doesn't work. What if I can't get pregnant from this. I'm trying to stay positive and know that this will work but it's very hard. I'm just glad for the support and love from my friends and family. This is an exciting time in our lives yet also a very stressful one. I will try to be more up to date on this stuff it's hard but I will try especially during this exciting journey!
