Well, apparently I was a little off with my dates. Yes, we are starting the IVF process, but I have to take birth control for a month first. Yes, I know that sounds a little off since we are trying to have baby, but they say that using birth control pills before a treatment cycle has been shown to decrease your risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ovaries become dangerously enlarged with fluid. This fluid can leak in to the belly and chest area, leading to complications, Very dangerous!) and ovarian cysts and may even improve the odds of success. So I will be on birth control pills for a month (no sugar pills). So I take about a pack and a half and then I will start the FSH injections, egg retrieval (not till the end of July), and progesterone shots. I will update you then, but there will not be much to say for a month. All I can say is prayer is powerful and much appreciated from anyone and everyone. We are so blessed with our wonderful family and friends. We love you all!
