IVF is set to go.....

We are all set-up for IVF as of today. We signed all the paperwork and had over an hour long meeting with the doctor. She is awesome. I love her. She never rushes us, answers all our questions and gives tons of advice. We are actually hope to make my November cycle and IVF cycle but I will not know for sure until tomorrow. At my appoinemt tomorrow she is doing a cathater test to see how well my body does. If all goes well we are all set this month. I also have an injection class I have to go to tomorrow. Rich will have to give me injections daily. OMG I'm not looking forward to that. "Honey Please Don't Hurt Me"

If we do get to do the IVF cycle in November I will have to have the embryo's transfered back into my body by the 16th of November. This is because the hospital only does the transfer 2 weeks out of the month. It is possible I could miss that 16th day if my eggs are not ready but we will have to wait and see.

We decided to freeze and store any extra embryos that are left over. We will not know how many are left over until they pull all my eggs out. They will only transfer 2 embroys and in the very rare occasion that both split we may have to terminate 1 or 2 of the babies. The doctor said carrying twins is fine but 3 or 4 can be dangerous. The nurse said they will fertilize the embryos for 5 days before putting them back. She said she would call me everyday to let me know how many babies have developed and how well they are growing. They will then transfer the 2 best babies into my uterus in hopes that at least 1 sticks and becomes a viable pregnancy but if we ended up twins we would be thrilled beyond belief.

At this point I'm just praying that my appointment goes well tomorrow and we are able to do the IVF in the next 2 weeks.
