The next phase has arrived...

Some of you know that we decided to take a couple months off of fertility treatments because Jay was out of town for work and also to give us an emotional 'breather.' Well, the hubby is now home and we are ready to get things going again in hopes to achieve a little miracle of our own. Friday I went in for bloodwork and originally the plan was to do at least one more round of letrozole and bravelle shots. I came across Dr. Casson in the waiting room on his way to see another patient and he said "ya know I have been thinking... you have great insurance coverage and the triggers were not very successful so why keep banging our heads against the wall.. I think we should just go right to IVF!" Without hesitation I said you are the doctor and I trust your opinion so I am willing to do whatever is needed to get the best results. So, needless to say, the plan quickly changed and I was started on a pack of birth control pills. When I picked up my prescription I was like WTH!!! So of course I googled the crap out of IVF and the process, etc. I had done a little before but my anxiety would kick in so my 'research' would always be cut short. Now that this is the reality we are faced with, that is all I have done is research. There are MANY pros... the success rate is more promising then other things we have tried so we are optimistic and hopeful. We go in 2 weeks for our consultation where we will talk to Dr. Casson sign off on all the paperwork needed and get more clarity around the process. Its also nice to have someone who recently went through IVF reach out and offer hope through their experience. Fingers crossed...
