The month I have ever so been waiting for is finally here! I've never been so excited for it to be May 1st! The ball is FINALLY starting to slowly move towards starting IVF. Thank goodness. April was a good month, Brett's parents came out to visit us for a weekend which was great! It was nice to have a little piece of home here with us. My best friend Meghan bought a ticket to come visit us for a week in May which I'm SO pumped about. Also my Mom and brother Jaden bought tickets to come visit us for six days in the beginning of June! :) We have a lot to look forward to in the next few weeks and couldn't be anymore excited.
On April 29th, I finally after what seemed like was never going to happen received an email from my IVF coordinator with my medication protocol! So many emotions hit me while reading it. I'm so excited, nervous, anxious, ready and a little scared to go through this whole process but Brett and I seriously have the best support system! People I have never met have reached out to us with kind words and prayers! It really is the best feeling knowing that so many people have our backs through this all and are just as ready for Little Baby Hempel as we are. <3
I'm drowning in fertility drugs and there is five boxes in the fridge!
I drove down to La Jolla, CA this morning and picked up my fertility drugs! It was kind of an overwhelming feeling when she handed me THREE full bags of medicine along with a sharps container. They definitely are not messing around. ;) I take my last birth control pill on May 7th and meet with my IVF coordinator the same day to have an ultrasound done to make sure everything is good to go and also to have her go over all my medications with me and how to inject them! I then will start injections on the morning of May 10th for 10-12 days. (Hopefully starting my injections on Mother's Day is a positive sign!) Every two days after starting my meds, I have to go have blood work and an ultrasound done to check my hormone levels and to make sure my follicles are growing like they should. We are set to have our egg retrieval done on May 22nd then the embryo transfer five to six days after that! It's all going to happen so so fast but we are more then ready! :)
Please continue to pray and send good vibes our way that everything goes smoothly and soon we will be making our dreams a reality! <3 I will be most likely be posting more blog updates throughout my medication journey just to keep everyone up to date and share my lovely horemonal feelings. ;)
Thought I'd share a little IVF humor!
