Off the PILL!! The next phase is upon us, and it feels good to be getting the show on the road.
Waiting for AF, and then will start Gonal-f and Menopur on Wednesday. This is the calm before the crazy.
Looking forward to it! Good times a coming!

Oh glorious Hormones
The lupron got to me last night...A headache of gargantuan proportion hit me hard. I took it to bed with me and woke up with it! Yuck!
Things are uneventful at this point, so we wait for next week when the real activity begins. In the mean time I am trying to figure out if I stop bcps tomorrow, or Thursday. I have no idea...will need to clarify.
Retrieval is scheduled for sometime between the 15-17th. Can't wait!

A little poke in the belly
It's begun. I got to play with needles again this morning. The Lupron shots aren't that bad, and each time I look at those pesky needles I become more confident in myself, and the process we must go through to get to where we want to be.
It seems kinda silly to be happy about sticking myself in the belly, but, I was happy to poke myself this morning.
We had to go through some videos and pictures tonight of our sweet Johnny. There are some people interested in seeing what we have, so we had to weed through the files to get the important stuff. Time consuming and stressful, add to that feelings of frustration and then tears. We miss him so very much. Nothing will replace him, ever. But, we look forward to a new fresh start, and hope for happier times ahead. We have got to keep on living our life, and trying to do what we feel is best for us. Tough, but we will do it, we are determined.
So the new journey has begun. We look forward, but live for today...hopeful for a very pleasant tomorrow.

Here we Are
On a new journey.
A strange thing to be saying, a strange thing to be feeling. We've faced battles and mountains that seem unconquerable. Today we stand before a new mountain, ready to find our way through the rough terrain.
I've learned life is never what we expect, and always looks different than I imagined. I've learned that bad things don't just happen to other people, they happen to anyone despite their faith or circumstances.
I'm ready to climb the next mountain. We are traveling down the road of IVF #3. We are excited for what might be, and what that would mean for our family.
We are taking little steps that will lead us to little baby steps. We can't wait for this next phase of our journey.
