Consult Today/Updated

BandGeek · #1 June 6th, 2011, 05:37 AM

Hey Ladies!

We have our first IVF consult today. I am nervous, anxious, and excited. Plus, trying to keep it together so I can get all of the necessary info. The witch arrived yesterday right on schedule so this appointment couldn't be any better as far as timing goes!

I had better get moving. It is going to be a long day! I will update later tonight.

Update info:

Thanks so much for the well wishes ladies! It has been a long and draining day. We are on schedule to do IVF around the beginning or second week of July.

I am excited, but really had no idea what all entails this entire process.

Good news of the day.....DH's SA........86 million!!!

His "boys" were great! They are doing a DNA analysis, but that won't be back for quite some time.

I will be starting birth control pills tomorrow so that I will not grow any follies. I will also be starting baby asprin, so that my lining will be good, and a thyroid pill as my TSH levels from today were a little high. I joked with DH that maybe my weight gain was from that thyroid and not from me eating whatever I want!!

After I am done with the bcp I will hopefully be able to start the injections for stimulation. After that.......the retreival, the fertilization, and hopefully implantation!!!!

Bad news of the day.......depends on how you look at it...

....we won't be making a trip to visit the in-laws at the beginning of July.....we are out quite a bit of $ as we already bought plane tickets. I am trying to get out of it and get our money back, but it is not looking too promising. I did buy the trip insurance, but it excludes......you guessed it......fertility treatments!

Don't they know how expensive this is!?!?!

Anywhoooo......I am feeling good and feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders as we are moving forward and not spinning our wheels!

Thanks again for all of the positive thoughts and well wishes!! I truly appreciate them all!!!
