It's starting!!

Kind of scary and exciting at the same time. The clinic called and set up some appointments:

09/04 at 10:30: M.D. conference
09/08 at 9:45: Shot teaching class....anyone wanna take that for me? :). Also, blood work done
09/15 at 1:30: Saline sonogram and trial transfer
09/18 at 1:15: Nurse consult

That'll make September go by fast between mine and Mark's appointments. :)

Can you believe this is actually happening? :)

Welcome!

Welcome to our IVF blog! If you're reading this, we know you care enough to get to know us and learn more about our journey. Thank you so much for your support and for taking the time to read our blog.

At first, Mark and I did not want to do IVF. There were a lot of things we were uncomfortable with about the procedure. But with every failed IUI, we knew we were getting closer and closer to making that hard decision. After our 12th unsuccessful IUI, we were told we would need to seriously consider IVF. After doing research, talking to other women who had been through it and lots of prayers, we have decided to go ahead with IVF.

I have created this blog to keep track of my protocol and stats and to keep a diary of my thoughts and feelings in hopes of helping someone else who will be going through it and hopefully our peanut will be able to read how he/she came into this world.

I will post all this information on my other blog also, but this one will be for our IVF journey only for those people who just want to read about our IVF journey and not about all the crazy things Mark and I do. :)

Thank you so much for stopping by, for your thoughts and prayers and support. The prayers and support give us our much needed strength to stay strong through this journey.
