These are the meds I will be taking this time around. 

 

These are the meds from the first time around. As you can see there are not as many but still a good amount. Wish us luck!

Moving forward

 I am sure you are all wondering where we stand on our little emby adventure. Ok maybe your not but we are finally moving forward. As of last week our emby has moved from its home in Reno, Nevada to Bedford, TX. I have received my holy crap box of medication. Although it's not nearly as much as the last time but it is still holy crap sized:) We have paid the money and for inquiring minds who are curious about the cost of this it is significantly cheaper this go around. By the time it's all said and done it will be about 4,000 dollars. Not cheap for sure but doable. We will leave Thursday the 5th and head to Bedford for our first real appointment with the Dr on the Friday the 6th. Several things will happen at this appointment. I will be put under for a hystoscopy. This is where they will look for any abnormalities in my Uterus. She will do a mock transfer. This will ensure the measurement of my Uterus so that they day of the actual transfer they will know where to place the emby. They will also probably do blood work and they will remind Cliff how to give me infections. From this point on we will be working on thickening my uterine wall and basically faking my body into believing it is pregnant. Please continue to pray for us and ask any questions you may have. 

Welcome to Our Journey

When Cliff and I met many moons ago during our very first conversation together, we discussed how many children we each wanted; it was meant to be when we both said "five." Maybe it was the late night talking, but we both wanted a big family. After many years of trying to have babies with no success, we found ourselves becoming foster parents and then adopting a beautiful little boy with blue eyes and blond hair; we were on our way to growing our family. Then a few years later I found myself driving to Vegas with my father in law for one of my first appointments for a round of IVF. Cliff was working that day in Amarillo. After a lot of Dr. appointments, shots, and other meds, our baby girls were born 6 weeks early in a hospital in Ft. Worth. Now we are a family of five and have an embryo that has been calling my name for months. So welcome to our journey as we shoot for baby number four. I don't know where this is taking us or if it will work, but God gave us that little embryo and I am trusting him for the outcome. This is a place for me to tell you my thoughts as well as keep everyone informed of what we are doing and all the steps to get us to baby transfer day. I kept a blog with our round of IVF, and it is so cool to go back and read our stories. Please feel free to leave your comments and questions. It is a very exciting time in our family. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we trust God for our next little one.
