Well, it seems the time is going by very quickly! About a week or so left till we start the process!!! So here is the rundown of what I know so far. We are waiting for my AF (aunt flow) (sorry TMI) to arrive and then we go in for labs and ultrasound (baselines).... once I do that, I will start my medication protocol. I will start on birth control pills for about 10-14 days depending on what they decide and then start the injectables to stimulate my ovary. I could be doing injectables for up to 10 days depending on how my follicles on my ovary respond. Then we will do the egg retrieval where they will take all mature follicles and fertilize them that day with Keiths sperm with ICSI (where they make them fertilize) and then 5 days after that they will transfer embryo(s) to my uterus where they will have to impant themselve(s) and then 9 days after that we will know if I am pregant! It is definitely a process! There will more than likely be a few hiccups during the process from what I am told but we are going to continue to stay in prayer and trust and believe that Gods timing is perfect and that He is faithful! Thank you all so much for the prayers, support and love you have shown to us through this process. I will keep everyone updated a lot more frequently once the process starts as there will be lots of changes. Thanks for reading our blog!

Our miracle baby will be on the way soon
ReplyDeleteHi Stacy, this is Ginger Pruet, your sweet Mom sent me your blog to read. I don't know if she's told you or not but I also had fertility issues and tried to get pregnant for 7 years before going to Dr. Honea after being told that IVF would my only hope for conceiving. Knowing the expense of the this procedure my husband told me that we could try it one time and if it didn't work that we would have to look into other ways of having a child of our own. So, reading your blog really brought all those feelings back to what I went through (its been 18 years!). So I began praying and so did my friends and family. I couldn't believe it when I got the phone call that I was FINALLY pregnant! I remember just falling to my knees and thanking the Lord for this gift he was about to give me. I will be praying for you too as you get closer and closer to the time to also hearing the wonderful news that you are going to be a mother. I really feel and believe that this is the time that prayers will be answered!!! God bless you and Keith as you continue on this journey to parenthood!
