IVF class

So yesterday I went to the mandated IVF class. I was amazed that their were so many couples going through IVF at the same time as me. I know my clinic is pretty big, but 14 couples total!!! I was just shocked. There is also another IVF class on the 21st so there will be even more couples. I felt kind of dumb because I was the only one there without my husband. My husband has to work Saturdays, and if we want to afford IVF, he can't keep missing work.

So the only interesting thing that I took from that class was that embryo's are sensitive to smell. Scented lotions, bodywash, and perfume can accually harm them. Interesting. So basically the Nurse Practioner said that if we show up to ER or ET (expecially transfer) with anything on other than deoderant, they will force us to shower and change into some of their extra scrubs before bringing out the embryo's.

The closer this cycle gets, the more excited I am becomming. I thought I would be so scared and nervous, but it is accually a relief that we are here. We never thought that we would end up doing IVF. It seemed way to invasive for me, but I am at the point I will do anything to get a baby.

Brett and I talked for a few hours last night about our future baby(ies). We both feel like we are gonna end up with twins. How exciting would that be??? It would be hard financially, physically, and mentally; but so worth it. We talked about names, nursery furniture, and how the crap I am going to manage to take care of multiple children. It was so fun to talk about. It is so cute to see him so hopeful and excited.

Update on me: Still waiting for AF to get here. We cannot get a schedule, what protocol we for sure will be on, what meds I will be on, or anything until AF gets here........SO AGGRIVATING..
