Whaoooooo!

So of course you all know what I did on May 16! The embryo's were transferred. Well, my sis-in-law works for my gyno here in I.F. I called her Monday to see if I could do the test early as in Friday instead of Saturday. Well, my gyno said I could do it as early as Monday if I would promise not to be upset if it was negative because that is still early. Well, it has to be at least a 10 to be a positive. On Monday it was 21! Yay! I was really excited but still scarred. I told my In Vitro nurse the good news when she called me back. She said to get tested again Thurs and Saturday to make sure the number keeps going up. Well, I did go on Thursday and she didn't call me back until this morning. The number shot up to 147!!!! She said that is a good strong number. Now I get to go back on June 5 to see how many are in there. Most people do not even know they are pregnant this early, so I am really lucky they let me find out early. I'm not even two weeks since the transfer.
Ryan didn't want me telling anyone because so many things could still go wrong, but I'm sick and tiered of all the bad news I get to post on here. This is so exciting!!! We are both ecstatic and pray that everything stays on track and we get a baby out of this.
We have really experienced so many little miracles in this long process. I know God has heard our many many prayers as well as all of those offered by all of you! A while back I posted that I had got some really bad news from the Doc I wasn't going to talk about yet. Well, he had called to tell me that my endometriosis had depleted my egg reserve and that I may not have any eggs. He wanted to talk about egg doner with me. I decided to just go ahead and try and see what we got. Well, the Doctor was shocked when we got 5 eggs and of the 5, three had fertilized. He told me that he had never in his 20 years seen anyone like me get results like that. I knew that was a huge miracle that Heavenly Father blessed us with. Part of the reason I really wanted to do In Vitro was so I could see what Ryan and I mixed genes would look like in our children and so I could be the one controlling all that goes into my body. The option to adopt is still on the table some day down the road, but In Vitro was now or never.
Keep those prayers coming, they do truly help us. Thanks you guys for sharing all your love and support with us too.

The Big Day!

We arrived at Reproductive Care Center early because we were so excited. They gave me a Valium before the procedure, but I don't think it kicked in till after. It really didn't hurt like all my other procedures because they mapped my cervix and knew exactly where they were going. They told me all the other Doc's most likely got caught in my c-section scar from the inside. Lovely huh. After it was all over I was so tiered. That is when I think the Valium finally kicked in for me.
So far I have been feeling a little bit of discomfort and a feeling of bloating. They said that would be normal, so I am taking it as a very good sign.
I have to wait till May 29th to know if I am pregnant, and a couple more weeks to know how many I am pregnant with. Yay, I can hardly wait!

Sunday

So, Sunday is the big day!! I can hardly wait. I woke up really early today, because I am so excited. I pray all goes well for the embryo transfer. So keep those prayers coming. I really feel good about this and know it is the journey our family should be on. Keep all your good mojo coming our way. :)

In Vitro

I am very excited, last week when I went to the Doc, my cysts were gone. :) He said he could fit me in with a batch (cycle) that just started. (They like to group a lot of women at the same time.)
So I got to start Meds that night. (That was Monday May 3rd).
Today I drove down again to have them check me out. I will not have a lot of eggs like other women, but he did see some good ones today. I got to take more shots and then I get to go down again on Thurs. If all goes well I will get to go Sat or Sun to have them implanted.
So, keep us in your prayers. We need all the help we can get.
I had Ryan give me a blessing last night and I feel really good about this.
It is an adventure to say the least, but one I am so grateful to have the opportunity to experience. I pray all goes well and we get a little one to add to our family.
