As this is my 3rd round of IVF (InVitro Fertilization), I am quick to point out that this is the smallest quantity of meds I have ever had. However, I will also point out that the majority of the meds, even four medications that are in pill containers are actually vials of medicine to be put in to syringes.
Here is my fertility history in a nutshell. My husband and I have suffered 3 ectopic pregnancies and 2 failed rounds of IVF. Today we started the procedure for our 3rd round...3rd times a charm right??
There are mixed emotions tonight, as I have recently quit my job to focus on relaxation and giving us the very best opportunity to have a child of our own. Don't get me wrong I know that we are blessed to even have that option but part of me thinks...this is just another decision that only women would ever have to make. Ok, so that was my poor me moment.
I am, however, SUPER EXCITED. We (that's right my husband is amazing and draws all the medication into vials for me), just got done taking our first shot of Lupron. I will be waiting for the side effects tomorrow, the last 2 times I've taken Lupron there have been some headaches and a few mood swings, worst then my normal mood swings that is, haha.
My wish tonight is that in a little under 2 months I can post to you all that all our dreams have come true :)
Stefanie,
ReplyDeleteI think of you guys often when I drop the girls off at your in-laws. I don't really know your story, just different things that you have said on facebook.
I will be praying for you guys that the IVF works this time.
I know you will be great parents!
We didn't have to take this amount of meds, honey, but oh, you know how I love you, and pray for you and Brandon to have children of your own! We are with you every step of the way in thought, prayer, and taking you out to eat whenever you call!!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! I hope to hear in a couple months that you are pregnant! :)
