You're probably asking why this post is quoting The Hunger Games, I know. Well, we kind of feel like this journey is our version of The Hunger Games. (and we just saw Catching Fire this weekend so it all fits nicely with the IVF process). ;)
Anyway....a couple of weeks ago, we met with our fertility Dr. to go over the next steps involved with starting the IVF process. This was a very nerve-wrecking appointment for me. I was so nervous about moving on beyond shots and pills, timed intercourse and IUDs to actually having my eggs REMOVED from my body to be fertilized.
To make a long story short, I was to wait until my period started this month to call and schedule both my 3D sonogram (to check the tubes, ovaries, etc.) and our IVF Nurse appointment which is really, technically, a 3 hour class with 2 other couples signing consent forms, learning how to do our injections and getting blood-work done.Well, I made those appointments today...for NEXT WEEK! AGGGGH! This is FOR REAL! We are getting the ball rolling on IVF!! WHOA!
So, until we meet again, so long and have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I sure am so thankful for such a supportive husband and family, GREAT insurance and WONDERFUL doctors!! Thank you for your hand in guiding us down this path, Lord!!
