Infertility

Um, huge change of plans...

So we are doing IVF. And soon. I'm going in next Tuesday to meet with my RE to discuss everything and get started.

WHOA!

This is something we've been thinking about and talking about for awhile now and I didn't say anything because we weren't sure, but we just decided to do it today. The thought of sitting out through another one of DH's seasons and being unable to cycle for 7+ months makes me literally sick. I can't even imagine. This way, if the first IVF doesn't work, we hopefully would have a frozen embryo that so I could do a FET during his season.

Ahhhhhhhh...I can't believe it. I always said no IVF. And, honestly, if things weren't exactly the way they are right now, we probably wouldn't be doing it. But, well they are and we are!

 

TTC #1 since June 2008 *SAIFW*

  • I don't know what your DH does (I presume football based on your siggy), but I am so so excited for you and happy that you have a plan. Most importantly so happy you don't have to wait 7 or more months. So exciting - can't wait to hear about the consult w/ RE and hopefully you can started on BCPs soon. I'm so so hoping this works for you. :)
