I haven't updated in a while cause there hasn't been much change since I have been on the bc pills since 9/19 but today Keith and I had our IVF pre cycle visit at the fertility clinic. We met with the IVF coordinator and went over the calendar (pictured above) which lays out the specifics of our cycle. We also had to sign all the consents and go over the other tiny details in this very detailed process. Things have changed since my last post.....I will now take the bc pills till next Tuesday (10/15) and then stop them (YAY!!) so 1 more week left from today! Then, next Wednesday (10/16) we will go and Keith will provide the sample and they will freeze the sperm until it is needed the day of my egg retrieval and I will go for a suppression check (labs and ultrasound). We will also have to write the very large check to them next Wednesday...that is going to hurt!!!! Then, I will start stims which are the injections on 10/20! That is 12 days away! EEEKKK! Cant believe it is so close! I will do 225iu of Follistim and 75iu of Menopur every night. Those drugs are used to stimulate the follicles on my ovary to make them grow. I will go back to the clinic to see how the follicles are growing on the 5th day of injections which is the 24th of October. At some point, they will have me start another injection called Ganirelix which is used to prevent me from ovulating. The tentative date for the egg retrieval will be either 10/30 or 10/31 depending on how my follicles grow. The embryo transfer will be 5 days after the retrieval. So once we start the injections the process will speed up much more. I am just beyond excited to be getting started with this process. It is starting to feel real now. I will be posting frequently once we start those injections.We ask for your continued prayers while we embark upon this process and thank you all so much for walking with us on this journey! We believe and trust God 100% and know His plan for us and our future family is just beyond what we can imagine!
SO EXPECTANT OF GOD's MIRACLE!!!!!
