Oh My GOD!

I cannot believe the medication! I cannot belive that I have willingly signed up to allow someone to inject me with hormones sometimes 3 x's a day. What the hell was I thinking?

Whew! I think I am calm now. The initial shock has worn off. Our infertility tab is now up to about 25,000. The cost of the OBP and the tests and the medications really add up! I am going to make a better effort to be more positive regarding this. I am going to be brave and take my shots like a woman! Matt is really nervous about giving me the shots which makes me nervous about allowing him to give me the shots. Hopefully with experience, he will feel more comfortable which will make me feel more comfortable....RIGHT??!??

A Great Man

Today we lost a great man. He was the only grandfather that my husband knew growing up and a wonderful man. I am sad to see him gone but I am eternally greatful for knowing him and knowing that he lived a full life. I will miss him greatly!

High Hopes

Today was our 1st appointment with an RE regarding proceeding with our plans to get pregnant in 2008. That is going to be our goal for the entire year. We spoke to Dr. S who appeared really concerned and after reviewing all of our prior medical records, assured us that our chances of conceiving through IVF should prove positive as all results proof that we have tubal factor infertility. We signed up for a 3 cycle outcome based plan and made arrangements to try IVF #1 in January 2008. I am so excited. I have such high hopes for this process and know that this is going to work for me. From everything that I have read, it appears that Dr. S and his clinic are very reputable and appear to be very capable. They have an excellent message board and I feel really connected to the women who are going through similar struggles. We will keep our fingers crossed and wait and see what happens.
