I don't know why I haven't written about this sooner. Lazy, I guess. I know no one reads this blog. I have never told anyone about it. It seems to be more of a diary of sorts, and if someone in my situation happens upon it, and finds comfort, then all the better.
So, we have started on the road to IVF. I have been taking lupron for a couple of weeks, and am now doing lupron, lo HCG, and Follistim. Everything is looking really good! I go into the doctor every other day, and it looks as though they will be doing my egg retrieval sometime this weekend. I am really excited about this, and really optimistic. I truly feel that this time next year, I will have two children.
My body has been responding really well to the meds. I currently have about 28 follicles. Not that we need that many eggs, but I'm hoping we get enough to freeze some embryos if we need to.
The bad part about all of this, is that it is so expensive! I am an incredibly cheap person, but I know we need to go into debt for this. So, we are taking out a huge loan, hopefully we will not need all of it.
If I get pregnant this next month, that will mean that all of sisters were pregnant at some point in 2011. That is so cool to me!
Although I am so optimistic, sometimes it is hard for me to imagine myself being pregnant. After so many years of defeat, I can't even imagine what success would be like. I've really opened myself up this time too. I am being less secretive about the whole process. I have been talking to a lot of people about it, and sharing my feelings. I always want to tell people, but for whatever reason, I never do. So, hopefully my next post will be another happy positive one!
