IVF, complete

This morning, we completed our IVF cycle.  Everything I did was all for this moment of seeing our microscopic embryo up on a big screen before they brought it in and transferred it back into my uterus where hopefully it decides to stay and grow over the the next 9 months.  There are still a lot of variables and a lot of hard work that embryo has got to do.  Today and tomorrow I am taking it easy than it is back to work on Wednesday.  This is the most consecutive days off I've had in a long time.... I think since my honey moon.... too bad I can't walk out my door and be resting on the beach instead:)

I can't even being to thank everyone for their concern and support during this time.  Everyone has been so kind-- sometimes I feel guilty  like we don't' deserve to have people be this kind to us.  It certainly would have been a lot harder though without ya'll :)

The weird part is that now there are no more shots to take, no more crazy medication-- nothing else I can do.... we made it. Today, even seeing that little blob of cells for the first time through a microscope-- I already loved that little thing so much! After the transfer was done all the doctors left and it was just D and I in the room by ourselves.  As I laid there tears streamed down my face as I thought of this potential little life I want to start so, so badly.  We have done absolutely everything possible to try and get pregnant... and now it's just up to the Lord.

So my friends, this is going to be my last blog post until I guess sometime in November...

When I started this blog I didn't really think through this part! Ya'll have been with me every step of the way but I know that whether this IVF cycle is successful or not, sharing the outcome is just not something we are going to be open with for a while.  And for those of you (who are detectives) that will see me- just because I'm not drinking won't mean anything--- who knows maybe this cycle turned out unsuccessful and we are trying another round with a little frozen embryo.  The possibilities are endless, hehe.


 For now my goal is to give all my worries to God, and to have Faith.  Thank you again for sharing this journey with us.
