Hey Friends!
I thought I better get on and give some updates on what has been going on the last couple weeks! we have had a lot of excitement and exciting news!! when I was on here last I was explaining about my shots and guess what! those are all done! I have completed all my meds, shots, trigger shot, and all!! wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be but very overwhelming and lots to remember, yes it did stress me out a bit but only because I didn't want to mess anything up!
So I went in for my morning appointments two in a row in Murray, Utah...drove there and had ultrasounds done, and blood work, the nurse practitioner said I was ready, basically my body responded really well to the shots and things were moving fast! which was good news! I got a call after my Tuesday appointment from my nurse Chelsee who explained to me to stop the shots and get ready to do my trigger shot! and they cancelled my Wednesday appointment! Retrieval was scheduled for Thursday! I was freakin out, not only nervous and scared but emotionally excited!
Trev and I showed up for retrieval and his dad came along to help drive home where Trev was working graves the night before so we didn't think it would be good for him to drive home sleepy and I wasn't allowed...we both got called back by the anesthetic guy who was seriously awesome!! didn't even feel him put the needle in me and then I was out!! I was back there for about 45 minutes, and they took me to the recovery room and brought Trev back, and I was saying some funny things! ha! I get a little weird after anesthetic! 13 EGGS RETRIEVED! we headed home and that's when princess days started! sit on my couch and rest! we got a call to let us know that 6 out of 13 eggs made it and are growing strong! SO HAPPY!! I seriously got off the phone and bawled.
As some of you that know Trev and I, we have been through a rough time trying to have a family...we never got happy or positive news, it was always heartbreaking. After 7 failed IUI's, HSG Procedure, Endometrosis Procedure where they found that my left ovary had moved back to my pelvic bone and had to be moved back...{little odd!}, Blood Work after Blood Work, Money down the drain, and heartbreak after heartbreak, it really exhausted Trev and I as husband and wife...this has caused a lot of heartbreak, feeling like a failure, and lots of tears in our home. So happy news lately is honestly the best news we could get and really want! we know the Big man above has watched over us through this journey along with our amazing grandparents in heaven that we miss everyday, we know they have stood beside Heavenly Father and watched over us also!
Transfer Day was set for 5 days after our retrieval, we were scheduled on May 19th for retrieval and May 24th for transfer! we got the news all 6 were still going strong! we ended up deciding and had decided along time ago that we wanted to transfer 2 embryos and that is what we did! we also got some frosties! two to freeze. the others weren't growing fast enough and didn't make it. Trev and I are so overwhelmed with joy and so excited! we cannot wait for the news and to see how the journey will end! we have prayed our little hearts out and we're so thankful each day for the power of prayer!! Thanks friend for following along and learning more about our journey! XOXO!
Here are some fun pictures that we have taken throughout the process!
More Updates to come soon!:)
