we made it further this time but not as far as we wanted

I'm sorry I lied in the last post but we found out we were pregnant and I wanted to wait until we were further along to tell anyone. Unfortunately we are miscarrying again. Monday's blood work was pretty low for where I should be at. I'm going to call my doctor this morning but I'm sure it's happening. I'm starting to get some bad cramps but no spotting yet. I really thought this was it. Now that we know this can happen all natural we will not be doing another IVF. I'm afraid that if we spend the money I will just miscarry so why waste it.

IVF moved to Dec

I was able to go to my local doctor for some blood work so they could get me going on a medication to help start my period. I will take it for a week and it should start 1-2 weeks after. We are now looking at doing the IVF in mid Dec and if it gets any later than that we will have to wait until Jan. Christmas time is the only time this doc takes off.

Calling the office Monday morning

Well still no aunt flow so tomorrow I will call the office to see if they can give me something to get me going. I almost had to do this before we did our first IVF cycle in Jan. What stress can do to your body :(

waiting....& waiting....

I must be stressed or something. Aunt flow is delayed about a week again. She is really messing up my plans. I'm ready to get this cycle started!! As soon as she arrives I will start my birth control and go in to a local lab to have blood drawn. I've never been so excited to have my period!! lol

back from "fake" transfer

Today went well. Norma and I were on the road just before 5:00am this morning. My appointment was at 11 so we had about 45min to shop before. The nurse met with me first to go over my medications and schedule. I will call her hopefully Monday or as soon as my period starts to get everything scheduled. She was a little surprised that we are traveling so many hours but said she was excited for us. I then went into a different room and got ready for my mock "fake" transfer. This was different in that I didn't have to have a full bladder. For my 3 previous transfers I was miserable from all the water I had to drink. He placed the catheter into the top of my uterus and took a measurement and drew a bunch of stuff on a piece of paper. He said it would be a easy transfer and I will not have to have a full bladder. I'm still a little crampy but he said this procedure is very important because when the real transfer takes place the embryo needs to be placed just right so it can implant. Well worth the cramps!

30th Surprise

Wow what a SURPRISE! Jason did a great job of putting together a surprise party for my 30th birthday (I think with a little help from my mom and sister). Almost all my family came, just a few had other obligations. I was having a really hard time putting it all together when I saw my in-laws and my sister. I was so confused how they got there so fast! So fast meaning...I had just talked to my sister and she said she was scrapbooking and Phil was down watching football. Norma called to ask about a shovel she thought we borrowed. Everyone did a great job keeping the secret! After it was all over I started piecing it all together. There were so many clues but I knew that Jason would never do anything like that....boy was I wrong! It was so good to spend my birthday with friends and family!!
