Can't come up with the title

A few updates.  I feel so sad for Sulfa as she got her beta today :( , I wish I could make it better for her.
During lunch today I ventured out to Marshall's in hopes to score a new pair of shoes.  I bought 2 pairs for $55.00 total - pretty good deal if you ask me.  Also as I was standing at the checkout line I spotted ... penguin socks! I was so excited and I had to get them.  My plan is to wear them for my ER and ET for luck.  This is actually a mascot  for the Infertility board (since penguins go through hell to keep safe one of their eggs - as us infertiles) and I really love the idea of it.
I got my IVF meds ordered and I should be receiving Lupron on Friday.  It's being mailed to work, I wonder if I could dodge all the arising questions?
I told my boss a couple of days ago about the upcoming IVF.  He was actually very supportive, which was nice.

Last Sunday I created our Christmas cards on Snapfish - I can't wait to get them.  Daisy was so cute posing in front of the tree.  Here is a little sample of my pretty girl.

 

IVF Consult

I had my final IVF consultation today.  It took me over an hour to get to the hospital in Highland Park.  My nurse Sabrina was super nice, very informative, professional and right on top of things.  I was very impressed with the way she explained everything to me.  I'm on the luteal lupron protocol, I'm currently on BCP and starting lupron on Saturday, December 19.  Need to keep taking bcp until 12/24 (last pill), continue lupron until 1/1/10, with the ultrasound and blood work on 12/30.  Starting 1/2/10 will start follistim/menopour/lupron combo injectible for 3 days (2,3,4 of Jan) with another usg and blood work on 1/5/10.  Egg retrieval is planned for around 1/13 - all depending on how my messed up body will respond to the meds. Egg transfer either on day 3 or 5, of course depending on quality of the egg and embrios. They are planning to do ICSI and assisted hatching as well ( and my insurance covers it too.) Lets keep our fingers crossed there is no major drama and this cycle is succesfull.
I am so scared and overwhelmed that I can't stop thinking about it.  I wonder if I will fall asleep tonight?
Maybe a glass of wine could help.
Goodnight!

Let's try this again

Welcome to my blog.  I'm going to use this blog mainly to get things of my chest and clear my mind.  Like a electronic shrink, someone would say.  Whatever you call it - I'm doing it.
It's been a few rough months... Dave and I have been trying to conceive since... seems like forever. In January of 2009 we started seeing Reproductive Endocrinologist to help us a little (or a lot).  During next few months I realized that my right fallopian tube was blocked with hydo, I needed surgery to remove it.  Lap surgery happened in July and we started the clomid / IUI's cycles in August.  Needless to say all went down to drain, we decided to move onto IVF.  As of 11/22/09 I'm on BCP in order to prepare for IVF.  I have an appointment with IVF nurse on December 15 to get things going.  I'm very excited and terrified at the same time... Will see what will happened.
