..COUNTDOWN IS ONNNNNNNN..

The countdown is on....
There are only 10 days left till our appointment with our new RE for IVF#2!!!!!!!!!


I never thought this day would come. I've been waiting for this day for a very long 9 months. After a failed IVF last September, I really thought that God had a different plan for our lives. I couldn't see the other possibilities. My brain was so foggy that I couldn't see beyond the fog. After some time had passed and I was able to see clearly again, I figured out plan b. My DH wasn't really on the same page as me. He had no thoughts of when we do another IVF again. I would ask him when he would be ready and he said he didn't know. This was very hard for me to hear. I was so ready to try again and I felt alone in my decision making. I tried to switch our health insurance, but our circumstances weren't a worthy enough cause to be able to change. Annual enrollment is every June. That was 9 months away. I knew I could chance and have full infertility coverage again. I held onto this thought. I had already made my decision that we would start our next IVF cycle in July 2010 even with my DH being against it. I had to look forward to something. I knew we couldn't afford to pay out-of-pocket so this was my only hope.


Well, plan b is about to become a reality. July 2nd is our appointment and I couldn't be more excited. I'm feeling really good about this cycle and have faith that God will answer our prayers. 


Due to going on vacation the 2nd week of July, I most likely won't be starting until the week of the 19th. My cycle is already suppressed so I'm not sure if I will go straight into stims or if I will have to take BCPs to get AF to start. I don't get AF becaues of my 1x a month Lupron Depot shot. A typical cycle with my new fertility clinic, they start you on BCPs to suppress your cycle so they can control it, then about 2 weeks in start you on daily lupron shots and then stop BCPs to get AF to start to start stims. I've heard that woman who are in my situation have gone straight into stims as long as there uterine lining was thin enough. I can't start while on vacation because of all the appointments. If I'm starting with BCPs/lupron then I can which I'm kinda hoping for. I want to at least start something. Waiting till after vacation feels like forever.


My last 1x a month lupron shot is this Wednesday along with my follow-up from my sonogram from last Wednesday. The pain is still there so I'm really curious if it's the endo growing back since they saw no cysts. 


Were so much closer to our dream coming true. The thought that I could have our little miracle growing inside my belly by July/August puts the hugest smile on my face. DH is so on board. He's ready and he can't wait to be a daddy. Seeing him with our niece is the most amazing thing for me. He just melts when he sees her. He is going to melt when he has one of his own!:) I just love him!xoxo


Proud Uncle:

Hope everyone is doing well in their IF journey. 

Praying for all the BFPs this summer!!!! Hoping to be one of them!:)
