Education Day

Yesterday was education day! We got all our paperwork filled out and signed. Timmy finished the last of his bloodwork! We have all our medication in order! I'm going to be getting so many shots, so many blood draws, and ultrasounds! AHH. It seems to be so real now that we have everything in order.

The last thing we need to do is find our backup sperm donor. We've been putting it off the past few weeks, but we are needing to get it done soon so it will be ready when we do IVF. We were kind of hoping that the urologist could give us insite on Timmy's problem and maybe find out a way to fix it and we wouldn't need donor sperm. We should get the results back by the end of next week! I'm nervous for what it will say. Will it be a 20,000 dollar surgery that we can't afford or will it be so simple and just need some medication? Two big differences between the two.

Anyways that is just an update =)

Our IVF appt.

I haven't been on in a while. A bunch of stuff happened and I wasn't going to blog anymore because I didn't want people knowing stuff, but I have supporters who are following me and stuff so I decided to start again! Anyways back to our appointment. Well we decided this would be our best option. We talked about how low Timmy's sperm was and it wasn't good at all. He said that it would be best if we talked about having donor sperm as a back up plan incase the day we went in and Timmy didn't have enough sperm then we could use the donor sperm so our cycle won't be a bust. We would still be able to use what Timmy gives, but if more is needed then we'd have the donor. I had a good feeling this was going to need to be an option, but just pushed it back til now. We have been going back and forth on this for a while. We fought about it, but finally discussed it and we are on the same page now.

We have talked about adoption and we will probably adopt in the future because this will probably be our only pregnancy if we do get pregnant. We decided that it would be best that if we try for this first. If it doesn't work, I will be heart broken, but I know there are the other options out there! We will get settled with our careers and get a plan to move and pay off debt then start the adoption process! I'm hoping that this will work and I will be able to carry our biological child, but in the same tune I don't want to get my hopes up because I've done that so many times and been let down!

We have our education class this afternoon so I will update again soon on whats going on! We are hoping to start birth control pills in March and then IVF meds in April! We will find out today though.
Again thank you everyone for the support!! <3
