Summers are busy. That's my excuse. Well, there is another excuse and that is because I'm not doing ANY fertility treatments at all right now and it's GLORIOUS! Seriously, my body loves me when I stop doing those drugs. I feel like me again. I feel happy. It's wonderful.
Even though we're not doing any treatments right now, in July we did throw down $220 to meet for 45 minutes with an IVF doctor in our area. Can't get over that...$220 bucks. But I guess it was helpful. We got to make it clear to the doctor that we don't want to go through with the IVF unless we have at least 8 eggs ready. So what will happen is we will be monitored for free through the military base and they will be able to tell pretty early from the monitoring if we will have enough eggs to move forward with IVF. If we don't have at least 8 eggs, my husband and I will choose to cancel the cycle and try again another month. It feels good to take control of our treatments instead of being "bullied" by doctors telling us what we should do.
IVF #2 in October here we come! I have a much better feeling about this IVF then I did our last try in June 2012. I'm also very grateful that both sets of our parents have generously donated to this IVF cycle, relieving some of the financial stress and strain. I really hope that this IVF will work. If not, I still trust that God has a plan for our family and it is the right plan for us. I trust Him.
