Okay....ready or not...here we go...

I finally heard from Dr. H. on Wednesday and he got his answers from the lab.  Apparently they don't even have "normal" ranges for the 2-hour fasting mark for insulin.  What the fuck?  That doesn't even make sense.  Oh well...anyway...bottom line is that Dr. H. feels confident moving forward with an IVF cycle.  So I have my schedule...(see below)

...I have my first few appointments on the books....and I just received my meds this morning.  I thought I would be shocked and astounded at the size of the box or the amount drugs in the box. But I wasn’t. Actually I was a little disappointed. It was hard to believe that what I was looking at was around $4,000…yes…I said $4,000… worth of meds. There was Lupron, Gonal-F, Menopur, some antibiotics for before the egg retrieval, a sharps box, Prometrium capsules for after the egg retrieval, syringes and needles. Maybe because I’ve done an injectable cycle before I wasn’t freaked out. I guess I just expected….more. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I’m not having major issues and I’m relatively calm considering what is coming up in the next few weeks. Sometimes I guess we all just have certain expectations for certain situations and my reaction to this situation was different than I expected…that’s all. Just different.


I really can't believe this is happening.  It's intense, it's scary, it's exciting...so many emotions.  It's mindblowing for me to think that after all this time (over 2-years), Itchey and I are getting closer to having the family we've dreamed of.
