Let me just start by saying today has been one of my 1st rough days through this journey. Day 4 of BCPS & I was down for the count today:( I have just felt yucky (like fatigue, weird bowels(tmi?) & just out there! I took an afternoon nap & I can't tell if that made it worse or better. I missed churched which I do not like at all, but I had to listen to my body. Throughout this process I hope that I'm able to attend my church services like normal, but I am not sure what time my injections will be so I might miss a few services due to the time frame of those. You HAVE to do injections at a certain time & not go over or under by 20 minutes I think. So it's a pretty strict process. I will do whatever it takes if it will get me closer to Baby Jones.
On the brighter side of things my God is still able & our IVF education class is tomorrow @ 2pm! Woot! Can't believe it's actually here.
So my DH (dear husband) that's infertility talk by the way will be signing all our consents tonight & will be going over the paperwork! Then we will be able to ask ?'s, will be shown how to give myself the injections & will be getting a calendar of everything that will be happening in the upcoming weeks... Super excited to have a plan! It has truly been a blessing from God to be where we are now. He has def been at work. I can look back now & know He was guiding us:)
~This is a outline for what we will be doing the next few weeks~
Birth Control pills for 14-21 days
Lupron or another med for 10 days- suppresses the ovulation process (they say this is a really rough time through cycle)
10 days of injections (stimulation for your ovaries) got to get those eggs partying!!
Ultrasounds throughout the med proceed to see how the eggs are doing, how many etc...
Hcg (which causes you to ovulate 36-48 hours later)
Retrieval appt soon after to get those eggs (I'll be sedated)
Sperm retrieval that same day (egg & sperm meet) & they hopefully "hit it off" and create nice looking embryos! We are hoping for quality over quantity!
Transfer time (hopefully a 5 day transfer) & bam I'm PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise)
2WW (two week wait) this is one of the most trying times of someone going through infertility! The way I will make it is with God on my side:)
Job 5:9 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted!
I looooooooooove that verse:)
