Sonohysterogram

I had my sonohysterogram this morning (basically an ultrasound of my uterus) and God has truly answered my prayers for this test! NO POLYPS! Yay! I had several last year that had to be removed and I was please to know that they did not come back. So there is nothing interfering with the embryos implanting in the uterine wall! Next step... July 19, I start Provera to get my cycle started for IVF! Man this is getting closer and closer and I am so excited! Robbie and I feel so much peace! Thanks everyone for thinking of us and please continue to pray.

Past Few Weeks

So, I went in for my preliminary blood work on May 24th and everything was fine. On May 26 I started Provera to start my cycle. I started my cycle this past Monday, so on Day 3 which was Wednesday June 9 I had to go in for an ultrasound of my ovaries to look at follicles (eggs). This is to determine how many eggs I am producing in my ovaries each month to determine the dose of stimulation drugs (shots) to allow the majority of the eggs to mature. I had 25 to 27 follicles in each ovary! I was very excited, so hopefully this is a good sign of how things will turn out in a few months. The follicles look like little peas all in my ovaries! So incredible. It has been a neat experience so far. I am trying to take everything in and enjoy it as much as I can. So far it has gone by pretty fast. My next cycle... the end of July... will be IVF cycle! Robbie and I are getting so excited and cannot wait!
