day 5 results

So today i went for my day 5 ultrasound and bloodwork this is where i am right now. We have 13 follicles on the Left side and 8 follicles on the Right side. So 21 :) of course not all of these will mature and fertilize but its a great number. Also the want my uterus linning to measure 8-9cm and im already at a 6 so thats pretty awesome especially since i just had surgery on my uterus. So we are excited! We go back saturday for day 7 u/s and blood work and im excited bc jeremy will be there and see it all. Its really interesting! Oh yeah and my estrogen was 540 dont know if thats good but they said it was. So im not starting the 3rd injectin tomorrow ill prob start that one sunday. We go back monday as well and hopefully ill have a good idea after monday when retrival will be and then well know around when transfer will be.

Today was the first day i really got kinda gitty about everything. Its seems so close we can almost grab it. I want so much for this to be successful but i have to trust and know that in Gods timing. Up to this point ive done everything humanly possible now its time to trust God, my body, and doctor Pro and just dont worry about it anymore.

Its so humbling to know that ppl are praying for jeremy and i. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us we def need it and appreciate it and cont to need it. We love yall!

Jeremy and Kristie Young

injections start tomorrow

So tomorrow i start my follistim injections! WOW!! I can not even believe we are here at this point. In just a couple of weeks we will be at retrival and then in a few days following that transfer. Then we just wait!! Im so excited yet so nervous i want this to be successful so bad......

There are many exciting things happening right now. Of course the most excited our ivf cycle!! Following that we are moving......i know i know those of yall who know me think i must be addicted to moving by now lol no this is not the case we really had a house kinda drop into our laps. This will put us a little furture from the church but it will put me closer to work. Im really getting tired of driving so far also we will have the option to buy this house. :) its only 5 yrs old in a subdivision and it has a privacy fence in the back yard which im super excited about since hopefully we will be able to put a pool in the back money permitting! So for now thats it !

nausea should be my middle name

For those of yall who know me well you know that I am not a night person, by 9 im normally in bed and fast asleep in dream land so the fact the im blogging at 11:30 is not the norm for me. However, since surgery I can not sleep nor can I eat without getting sick either it comes right back up or runs out quickly! I know TMI!! Im so ready to feel better but I figure if I get preg that Ill have morning sickness or as i figure ill refer to it as all day sickness so I might as well just get used to this right?

Surgery went wel on tuesday it was kinda a weird experience I wasnt crazy about the hospital and some of the staff was rude while others went over and beyond to be helpful. I guess thats nothing new though. Once they got in they realized that it wasnt a polyp but a glob of mucus. Ok i totally believe in the power of prayer. The previous wed when i had the u/s with contrast i saw "it" attached to my uterus but once they got in there it was free floating in my uterus i firmly believe that God allowed to it be unattached! This is something i was really nervous about with my previous surgery i knew there was a chance that i could loose an ovary but i knew that we could still try since i would still have one but when they told me there was something wrong with my uterus it upset me bc i have to have my uterus to carry a child. Anyways everything went great minus the fact that i now have been bleeding for 3 weeks and cant get past the nausea. I called thursday and the nurse told me it could cont through the weekend so hopefully by tomorrow it will disapate.

I totally cant believe we are here. Wednesday i go for me baseline u\s and blood work then if everything looks good we start injections on sunday! Cant you believe it? I cant in one week we will start injections and be one step closer to our goal!!! Which is to bring home a healthy baby. I nervous yet so excited in the same breathe. Im also so thankful to be sharing this journy with Jeremy he is such a supportive person and im so blessed to have him.

For now its just Jeremy, me, and the pups

one more surgery

So last wednesday we went to TFC for a long day. This day was full of our IVF edu, Trail transfer and ultrasound with contrast, stress conseling, and to cross the Ts and dot the Is along with finding out how much and when the full payment was due.

Everything went well i could see that if you had no medical training that it would be very overwhelming.

The trail transfer and ultrasound with contrast was not near as painful as i had prepared myself for. Although they did find a polyp in my uterus so we are having another surgery this coming tuesday. This thankful has not messed our cycle up. As of right now we will have our baseline on 4/6 and then start our injections on 4/10. I can not believe that we are really here and really doing this. I dont really feel overwhelmed just amazed and anxious. Of course a little scared of it not working. However we are trying to stay positive and focus on the good things. As of right now it looks like by mid may we will know if we are pregnant or not. How weird does that sound? So we will wait and see what happens we arejust praying that God will prepare my body to be able to carry a child.

So yestercday AF came! I am so truly thankful for this and believe that we are ment to be in the April cycle. Im nervous and excited a little overwhelmed by everything honestly. Im nervous about getting pregnant, im nervous about not getting pregnant, im nervous about miscarrying, im nervous about becoming a mom. So many different emotions running through my brain, heart , and soul. This is what we have hoped for, prayed for, dreamed of for 3 1/2 years now! Now thats its finally here i just cant believe it. Im ready to see what God allows to happen in our lives. I just have to continue to trust that no matter what happens Gods in control and everything happens in his perfect timing!

a little broken hearted

BToday in church i sit behind this couple with their little baby. I watch the mother traces the babies face and run her fingers over his eye brows as he sleeps. She gazes down at him and just a little piece of my heart breaks. Of course im happy for this couple in front of Jeremy and I but its almost bitter sweet for us. Hoping one day soon well have our own little miracle.

random thoughts

So I still have yet to start my period.....im taking the provera guess it might come after i finish it. This all keeps reminding me that even though i like being in control there are some things that are just completely out of your control! This is hard for me me. I cant believe its already March....this thursday is mine and jeremys 4 yr anniversary!! These four yrs have not been easy by any means but so well worth it. I cant believe that April will truly be here before we know it. Wow!!! My mind is in so many diiferent places trying to process everything weve been through and everything we are going to go through and it just cant. I went to conway this weekend and learned somemore about MK from my aunt so that was fun. However i dont like taking pics beside her anymore bc she lost like 60 lbs and is tiny and then well theres me......great right! I really like the MK stuff i think i just have to step out of my box a little and try harder. :) so for now we are still just waiting to see if i ever start!!!!!!
