All this IVF stuff has, as funny as it sounds, kind of caught me off gaurd. I've been wanting to have children for so long and waiting for this point in my life for so long that it's weird that the time has finally come. It's here. If this all goes to plan, I won't have to be waiting any more. I can finally move on to the next phase of my life. Sometimes I don't feel like any of this is real. I'm sure that pretty much everyone at some point in their life has felt like they were watching themselves go through their day to day actions. Like what's going on around them isn't real. I feel that way with IVF. Time has caught up with me and I'm actually doing this. It doesn't feel real.
I have so many different emotions swirling through me right now that my body gets confused and doesn't know how to respond. I'll go from oober happy to crying to happy and bouncing around again within minutes. It's like I'm bipolar or something. Poor Jared!
IVF Update: I took my last birth control pill last Tues. and started my cycle on Sat. as expected. Today I had an appt. with the doctor. They did blood work for my estrogen levels and an u/s. It looks like the Lupron has sufficiently suppressed my ovaries and my estrogen levels are below 70 (mine was at 15.4), so I will begin taking the stimulating hormones tonight.
As for that request...
Jared and I would like to invite you to join us in fasting on Sunday the 16th and/or Sunday the 23rd. The purpose of this fast is to have a successful embryo transfer continue on to a successful pregnancy. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers! We appreciate all of the love and support that we have received and continue to receive throughout this endeavor. We love you all!
If you remind me, I will.
ReplyDeleteI think it's normal in your situation to have those crazy emotions. Just let them come and go as they will and tell Jared to enjoy the roller coaster. :) I won't be able to fast but I'll definitely continue to pray for you guys.
