Catching Up

Well, here is everything that has happened so far for those of you that want to catch up:

July - Sandy says oh so subtly, "So, when are you guys thinking about having a baby because if you want me to carry it for you..." The point is none of us are getting any younger.

August - We have our first appointment with Dr. Jarrett. We love him. We mention maybe we will be ready in a year. He says we should be ready sooner than that (Again - not getting any younger). The more I think about it the more I think I wanted to wait because I was terrified.

September - Take my temperature every morning at 5:30 (trying to figure out my cycle).

October - repeat.

November - Call from Dr. Jarrett. My temperature charts look good. Lets get things rolling!

December - Frantic blood work, exams, EKGs - we have to make sure everyone is healthy (mostly Sandy ).

January - here we are! I started my Luron injections on Jan. 12th! Here is the tentative schedule!

1/12 Start Lurpron injections
1/23 DR appointment for sonogram and blood work to make sure that the Lurpon did in fact shut my ovaries down.
1/25 start second injections (yes that is two a day now) to start growing follicles (eggs). That want at least 10.
2/2 HCG trigger shot (to tell my ovaries that my eggs are good to go)
2/4 DR goes in to get the eggs (also known as the egg retrieval)
2/4 fertilize the eggs
2/4 - 2/6 watch them grow!
2/7 - transfer embryos into Sandy
2/19 - blood test to see if we are pregnant

So, today we are signing the contract that the doctor needs. Then my appointment is at 12:30 on Wed. I will let you know how it goes!
