We are starting :)

Last Friday we had our Trial Transfer appointment. This is where our Dr looks at the uterus and cervix to ensure easy passage of the embryo(s) in the future. A flexible catheter is used to measure the depth of the uterus and to determine the best location for embryo placement. This process was a little painful since they discovered my cervix is curvy.  The catheter was shaped like a L when he was finished :( . He says everyone is made different and this will not affect anything. They will put a stich with a string in during the retrieval and keep it in until we transfer. This will help straighten my cervix when he puts the embryos in.  We met with a nurse to talk about the injections and go over our protocol. Our big egg retrieval day is OCT 6th!!

I got my meds in today. I was so excited and nervous about seeing everything that it takes to do IVF. Seeing all this makes me realize how big God really is. Our bodies are so perfectly put together and this experience has shown me so much. We are so blessed to be able to use these medications to make a gift from God. None of this would be possible without him working in our lives.

 Tonight I started Lupron injections. I was so excited to finally begin the injection part but I was extremely nervous about doing it right. The thought of injecting my self never bothered me. I just was scared that I wouldn't do it right or I mess the amount up. It was so easy and I think I did it right :) My wonderful neighbor Jonna, came over to support and supervise since Kelcey was working. Thankfully, I haven't felt any of the bad side effects yet :)
