Morning sickness....

So I thought that I would have time before the morning sickness kicked in but noooo. It was in full force the past few days. It is horrible. All I want to do is sleep..Okay so now that I got that out of the way I am going to try from now on to be positive during this pregnancy. So if I complain to much just smack me. Just not to hard.

Still in Shock!

So after four years of trying we find out that we are pregnant. It is a complete shock to us mainly because we weren't expecting it. We went for our first IVF appointment on the 27th of October and were told that we had ovulated. I have never ovulated. NEVER. This was a shock to us. Doc told us to take a test in 2 weeks and call him. So we waited...Not really I took on within the 1st week and it was negative. I took another test 4 days later and it read "ERROR". I had no more test so I had to convince my hubby to go buy some at WM. That same afternoon I took a test..Two pink lines...one was really faint and the other bright pink....My my went blank...I email Rachel and she was like "congrats" and "call to see if you can do a blood test".
I called my OB/GYN left a message and waited for a return call. We couldn't wait any longer so my Hubby called our primary and got us an appointment for the next day. 10 min later a nurse from my OB/GYN called and sent us for a blood test. Know the results till the next day. I took another test the next morning mainly because my hubby wouldn't get his hopes up. Same two pink lines. We decided that I should keep my appointment because I needed a doctors not for school anyways. We went did a test there and it was positive. Our Doc came in with the biggest smile on his face. We talked a while then left. I tried to call my OB/GYN for the blood results just to make sure it was still true. Hey, you try for 4 years and not have any doubts. Finally at 5pm my OB/GYN called and said congrats.
What a whirl wind of a day. We went to Hallmark and looked for a card to give to his mom saying the good news. They actually make one! I was so surprised. So now we have told the whole family and basically the whole world. I can't wait to see what the next 9 months have in store!!!!

First IVF appointment

I am not really sure what I was expecting from our appointment today but something that would make it worthwhile to drive 3 hours there stay the night in a hotel, get up and be at the doctor by 8am. Well we get there I give my urine sample talk to the doc. He tells us our option and say whatever we decide to do won't be any charge (since we won a free IVF at a conference). Then he want to do an exam. I go into this room with TV monitors all around get half naked and lay with my feet in the stirrups. My husband was sitting in a corner the whole time laughing at his wife being in such a strange postion. Doc. did the ultrasound saw that I had ovulated and said well looks like we have to wait 2 weeks. I knew I had ovulated and was actually mad at myself for ovulating. I hadn't ovulated in 5 years why would my body choose now to do so.
We went back to Docs office said to call him when I start my next cycle and take birth control pills. We were in and out with in 30 min. I know I shouldn't be disappointed but my Doc shares an embryologist so since we have to wait and won't be able to do IVF at the end of November, we have to wait 3 months before his next round. I guess waiting 4.5 years wasn't a long enough wait.......
I am just frustrated......

The start of an adventure

This has been a long road already to lead to this adventure. A road with many ups and downs. Thankfully with the love of friends and family and some good luck we are hopefully headed to the intersection of parenthood.
Saturday Oct 18th while attending a confrence on infertility my husband and I won a free IVF cycle. To me nothing in life is free but this is free. I am still in shock. I know I have alot to learn but can't wait to go down this new road of life.
Any one with any advice to offer for what I have gotten into feel free to let me know.
