ANXIOUS

Scott and I went to Nashville yesterday to meet with the doctor to figure out what our plan is for starting ivf. Needless to say it was a very interesting conversation, he explained to us the percentage rate for success at the clinic (54.7%). As of right now we go back on April 27th to have my thyroid checked to make sure the medicine he put me on is working and the Scott has to have a test done the same day. IF (hoping & praying) my thyroid levels are lower we will then take a 3 hour ivf class, that will teach everything we will need to know with the medicine and procedures we will go through. Then we order our medicine and the journey begins. I am more anxious now then I think I have been the entire year or so. I pray everyday that this will be Scott and my chance to bring our own miracle home!!

Our First Visit

Tomorrow will be our first visit to meet with the doctor in Nashville. I am a bit nervous and excited all at the same time. I am just hoping for good news tomorrow. When I received my results from my blood work it wasn't so good. My thyroid levels are to high to start the ivf process right now, so the doctor prescribed me some medicine to try and lower it. My levels were 5.7 and to be able to start ivf it has to be between 1-2. So I am praying every night that this medicine works! I have to look at it in a way that I am going to be healthy when I do the ivf! I have to try and stay positive

Testing

We have completed some of the "pretesting" needed to start the ivf process. Its just always fun to have blood drawn..haha! I am hoping in the next couple of weeks we will go to Nashville and have more test done and meet with the doctor. Then we will set up a time to go to the ivf class..which is a 3 hour class we have to take to learn about all the medicine and process of the IVF. I am very anxious to get that started! I will try to keep everyone updated!

The Journey is about to begin

I truely believe 2011 will be a very good year for my husband and I. We have now made our plan on invitro and I am more excited now then ever. As of right now we plan on starting the process in March. I am extremely excited and scared all at the same time. I am excited for our future and the possibility of having our own bundle of joy but in that same thought I am scared that my heart will be let down. All I am going to do is have faith and pray about it, I know down deep that if it is meant to be for me to be a mother it will happen. I will try to keep my blog updated more once the process begins to let everyone know how it is going. Hopefully our first Dr appt to discuss a time line and for meds will be mid to the end of Feb. So once we know that date I will post again.
