Too much to type! =)

I have the dates!

I have the dates for everything.. as long as everything goes well, this will be the tentative schedule.

May 24 - Go to Dr. Ke for preliminary blood work.
May 26 - Start Provera
On first day of cycle, I am supposed to call and schedule an SHG (sonohysterogram) of my uterus. Hopefully no polyps will be found. If so, I will have to do the surgery again and this will delay everything...

July 20ish (around there) - Start Provera

This will be the IVF cycle! YAY!

I am set to have my egg retrival the week of Sept. 13th, so Lord Willing by October we will find out if I have a June-bug on the way!

This will be a very busy summer with lots of shots and appointments, but Lord Willing it will be totally worth it in the end! Please be praying for us as we are beginning our journey in just a few short weeks!

My amh level is 7.6, so my ovarian reserve is good! I will post soon about the IVF process for those of you that do not really know the steps and schedule.

So soon!

I still do not have the exact dates for the IVF egg retrieval yet, but we are still, Lord Willing, planning to start this process toward the end of the summer. I feel so much peace about our decision. I feel God is allowing us to move forward with our dream of adding another child to our family and I am very thankful for that. Robbie, Ryder, and I are extremely blessed and I am so grateful for the amazing family I have. I will update whenever I have more news... Sorry for the delay!

IVF

Alrighty! So Robbie and I have prayed and carefully made the decision after many months of contemplating to forego with IVF starting in July! I will know the exact dates of everything within the next month (They do not have their egg retrieval date calendar made out thru September yet). It is a several month process. Lord Willing, in July I will begin the process to start my cycle, followed by birth control pills in early August and the ovulation induction shots will begin in late August and carry thru until September. We most likely will have the egg retrieval toward the end of September with finding out if it was successful the middle of October. So hopefully and Lord Willing come June 1011 we will be welcoming a little one (or two!) into the family! Please keep us in your prayers are we begin this incredible yet scary journey of invitro fertilization. I will update when it gets closer to time to starting everything. We are very excited and feel very peaceful about our decision!
