Our IVF journey has officially started!

As some of you may know Jon and I have made the HUGE decision to do IVF. This has been a long time in the making and we are finally ready to make the emotional investment. We can handle the money part, it is just the roller coaster ride we dread. Not that we are rich but it is easier to let go of money than it is the dream of another child. BUT we are putting ourselves out there and we are going to make the very best of it. That is why I am going to be "blogging" our IVF experience. For all those who are thinking about this option for themselves and for all the people who love and care about us. I know it is not always easy to ask questions. This way you will know the scoop. Most of you know we are very open about our situation so please don't ever hesitate to ask. You all know I am a talker. Jon and I are very hopeful and feel that thinking positive can help a lot. Still being young and not having severe fertility problems, we feel like our chances a very good. We will need lots of prayers!

We already have two MIRACLES in our lives and we wonder how could we possibly ask for more. The Lord has given us the sweetest two boys to share our lives with and we cherish every moment as a family knowing how precious it really is. We love you all and we are so grateful for all your love and support.

SO THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE SO FAR...........
I have started my BC pills to get me on the right cycle and make me ovulate when they want me to. I have also started a drug called Metformin. That combined with the prenatals have made me really sick the last couple of days. I have found that gum helps a lot. Sorry Jon! (he hates gum) I will start the shots of Lu pron in my stomach on April 25th. We went to an IVF class today and learned how to give me the shots. I think I will be able to do it myself but if not Jon is now a pro. I feel a lot better after finding out you no longer have to do them three times a day just once. You can mix all the meds into one shot which was really good news for me. That doesn't include the progesterone shot with a big old needle in my back side. But that doesn't start for awhile so we won't think about that yet. So that is the start of our process. I will keep you all posted and again thank you for being so supportive.
