Start Of Our Egg Transfer
“If a family of 2 is the cards I was dealt with, I feel blessed that you’re my other half.”
Even though my husband is getting over a really bad cold, I was so happy I didn’t have to reschedule my egg transfer appointment. I didn’t know what to expect during my first egg transfer appointment. It has been more than 3 months since I saw my IVF nurses and doctor that I completely had forgotten what this appointment was about.
When I got the green light from my doctor to do my IVF egg transfer, I was so excited. My IVF nurse April had called me with the great news and to also schedule my first egg transfer appointment. I was so excited that while I was on the phone with her I had forgotten to ask her what the appointment was about. All I know was my husband had to be there because we were going to sign consent forms. I got pretty emotional. I’m not the type of person who cries over happy or sad news, but during this whole IVF experience, my feelings was slowly starting to show. I had to hold in my tears when I had to sign consent forms. I had to sign on the dotted lines next to the words “Intended Parent #1.”
When we got there April had shown us our biopsy results that was sent from the lab. We already knew the sex of our embryos, but we didn’t know the exact “grade” of each embryo. To our surprise they were all top grade quality. If you have been following along on my blogs, I already had mentioned that we had 4 embryos - 3 boys and 1 girl. April went over which embryo was flawless so my husband and I already know the sex of our baby! God willing, of course. I know this is not guaranteed, which scares me so much, but I really have to do all I can not to stress about that and to try and enjoy every moment.
Next we went over medications. More medications means more expense. I honestly thought we were done paying for everything, but I guess the second part of our IVF isn’t paid for yet. So my husband and I paid for all the medications for the second half today, but I have an appointment with an IVF financial person who is going to itemized every ultrasound, every labs, the procedure, doctors costs, etc so she can collect the rest.
My husband and I only have this ONE chance. This is our last chance to try and become parents. This has hit us hard financially, mentally, and of course emotionally. I’m going to do anything and everything I can to have a successful outcome. I have read about 100+ experiences of people who are going through IVF. About 90% said that pineapples are good luck for people who are going through IVF. So that’s what I’ll do, collect items with pineapples and say more prayers!
For those who want to help me and my husband during this journey, we are accepting prayers and if you see anything with a pineapple print, just think amazing and positive thoughts about us. That’s all I ask. Thank you in advance. My husband and I really appreciate it.
