TO BE PREGNANT WITH OUR LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY(S) and hopefully about 2 1/2 months pregnant at that. Honestly, seriously, that is all we want.
Wow, oh wow. We absolutely can not believe how far we have came in our journey. So to update everyone with whats going on.
We were not going to tell everyone when we got ready to start procedures because we don't want a slew of people asking us "Did it work?" "Are you pregnant?" and all kinds of other questions but we have had so many people praying for us that it's a little unfair to not keep ya filled in huh? Well, I will kinda sum up the procedure for ya and kinda give ya a hint on when we think we may be starting procedures however, it still stands true that we don't want people harassing us if it worked or not. I am sure, we will tell people in our time if it did or didn't work when we are ready BUT we don't want a million people bombarding us about it all at once. As much as we hope and Pray that it does happen the first time, we don't expect this to happen and I think it is only normal that we will be sad and hurt if it doesn't work hence the reason we don't want to be bombarded. We are staying positive and have Faith in God that it will work however, the success rate in each cycle is only 20%-25% therefore we also have to face reality. We don't want to say IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN because we don't want to be let down even more if it doesn't. Again, we have faith and truly believe it will but also have to face reality at times also. A little something though to give us hope that it will atleast happen at some point is, Trent talked to someone the other night that done the same procedure we are doing with the same doctor we are using and luckily for her, it worked the first time. Not only that, but I have heard of others that used the same facility we are going to and it has worked for them. We know it can and will work, but it is just so encouraging to hear the success stories.
Now, on to the process..........Everyone will be excited to know..........
WE WILL BE STARTING WITH THIS MONTH'S CYCLE!!! (sorry to those guys that may be reading this or anyone else who didn't care to hear the details) Geez its crazy to say that almost 2 1/2 years ago when we first started trying that I was so upset and so bummed every month when my cycle came around and now, we are SO anxious for it to start that I don't think it ever will. LOL! (sorry again guys)
Ok, now, that I have had to apologize twice, I guess I should say, if you don't want to hear about my cycle days, you may not want to read any further however, the further details will have information about how procedure will work on certain cycle days.
So, I am due for dear ol' mother nature to come and visit me any day now which will be
Cycle Day 1 (CD = Cycle Day from here on out). YAH, YAH, YAH!!! (Geez, will it ever happen, LOL)
CD 3= I will be put on Clomid = fertility meds to help induce egg production which could also make me form more than 1 egg. We are very nervous about the side effects of this medication as we have heard the side effects are not fun and could make me crazy, emotional, nauseous, etc. Ugh, dreading this BUT will TOTALLY be worth it in the end.
CD 13 or 14= I will go to Dr. Hill and have an ultra sound to make sure my egg follicles are a certain size. If they are at the size the doctors would like to see them at during ovulation, they will then give me an HCG shot to stimulate the ovaries which then will cause it to release the
egg(s).
1 to 2 days later - (they said it is normally 1 day but possibly 2 days later.) We will actually go in for IUI (IntraUterine Insemination=Artificial Insemination)
Approx 2 weeks later, we will take a test and hopefully be pregnant with our little Miracle(s) therefore in a little over a month, we could possibly find out that we are finally pregnant with our little miracle(s) that we have worked so hard for over the past year.
So is everyone wondering why I am putting Joy(s) and Miracle(s) well we always said we wanted 2 and no more than 3 kids so at this point, we are hoping that we have twins so that we can have what we always wanted. If not, we will gladly take whatever God wants to bless us with at this point. If this works and especially if this works rather quickly with not many tries, we will have decisions to make as in trying again in the future or not however, at this point, we are just focused on the right here right now and what happens now because it may not even be a decision that we have to make later on depending on what happens now.
Anyways, it has been forever since anyone had been updated due to us not knowing if we would be sharing with everyone when we would start procedures or not so now that I have updated everyone, Please keep us in your prayers this month and in the next couple of months following as we will hopefully be pregnant in the following months but if we are not, we will be redoing this whole cycle that I just went through a couple more times as needed to hopefully make it work. At this point, it appears we will get at least 3 tries and hopefully we will get more tries than that if needed depending on how everything goes.
Anywho, hope everyone else is doing well and hopefully, we can soon give everyone some GREAT news.
