Okay, I might not really know what I am in for yet as I am sure it won't really be fun. Stressful, bloated, bruising myself, are probably other words I will be using to describe the process.
In a couple of days Dusty and I will go to our Center for a 2 hour IVF education class. There is really that much to know about the IVF process I guess. I am hoping that we can meet other couples in the class that we can kinda go through the journey with. I also hope for friendships everywhere though and am not too realistic ;)
My case manager called me today to let me know some of my meds were ordered through a boutique pharmacy. That is another interesting thing about this process.... I need to go through a "boutique" pharmacy? Weird. Anyways, the list is pretty long and that is not even including the meds I will have to take orally and need to pick up from the local CVS pharmacy. When I recently added a group on Facebook for IVF support, I was shocked when I saw the pictures for the amount of meds I will be taking. Below is a picture of what I will be expecting:
Yes, my odds are about 40% of success with IVF, but I really cannot help being hopeful and excited. How do I not let my hopes get up there?? So hard to manage.
Keep Dusty and I in your prayers as we try to work out the finances (some of you might wonder what the cost is.... I will just say about $15k without meds), insurance, doctor visits squeezing in between work, STRESS and ANXIETY, and just having the Lord's divine intervention in this process. I know and trust that our Lord God can really create a baby for Dusty and me. It is all up to us to hope and trust that He is in control and His will is perfect.
I will try to update you as I continue the journey. I have to thank my mom for the friendly reminder for an updated post :)
Praying along side you as you begin this new chapter...thank you for the update, keep them coming
