OH MAN...WE ARE A GO...

So today we found out that we got the financing for IVF ..I just got the contract emailed to me and will be signing and making it official...Im trying to feel excited and happy right now, but I mostly find that I am concerned, worried,  fearful and nervous...*sigh*  IVF will possibly bring us the family we have been longing for and have been waiting for 7 years now...I suppose its normal,  I was mentally & emotionally  in another place back when we first started this baby making journey 7 years ago...I felt whole, strong and full of optimism...now after 7 years of soo much disappointment, I feel it has slowly chipped that wholeness, strength and optimism away..if that makes any sense....soo now I feel more fragile emotionally & mentally....I certainly didnt think that I would have to face such a difficult process just to have a Baby ...and expensive at that.. even before its conceived!... :( I am thankful though that we do at least have this option that we can try...and this financing has officially made it a reality and a possibility :).. I hope to find my strength & optimism again...and get through this one day at a time...I know I will have the support of my close friends and family which is very encouraging...Love you guys! I will need you soo much more than ever!

Now we are just waiting for my next cycle to start, which is around the 14th or so of Sept. I will then start taking birth control pills and I am going to be on them for about 3 weeks. Within that time I have a couple tests that need to be scheduled and we need to go in to get injection training...I am hoping that I dont have to give them to myself and either my mom or my husband can do them...but I still need to know how to do it just in case...I found out that most of the needles that I will be using are only about 1/2 inch long..not bad....the longest one I will need to use is 1 1/2 inches long..that one needs to be given on my bum...lol....and someone has to give it to me cause I wont be able to do it myself...well again now its just waiting for my period to come and we can start the process.

TEST RESULTS ARE IN...

So we went in to review the results of all the tests with my fertility Dr. and all came back good...only two things that they found was my glucose test was slightly above normal 101 it should be below 100..so now I have to get a fasting 2hr glucose test ..which is just drawing blood once, drinking a sugary drink, then two hours later drawing blood again. The dr says its necessary in order to know exactly how well my body processes sugar because it can cause a list of problems such as miscarriage..higher risk of developing genstational diabetes etc...eek! Another thing they found was my good cholesterol is slightly low and can be improved with regular excercise.. :( I know I really need to do that more often! This one will fortunately not affect the process its just something that I should really improve for good overall health. Aracely
