Todays Doc. Appointment

So I went in today's appointment with a positive attitude I knew that no matter what I found out that with the holdiays and birthdays coming up I would be around my family a lot and push through. That's all you really can do. I have the best husband ever who has encouraged me and prayed with me before every shot I have had and called me before my appointment this morning to tell me that he fasted breakfast and prayed for me. God has been so awesome to me/us lately I can't post this blog without giving him all the glory! After that statement I'm sure you can guess that we got good news!!

When I first went in for the nurse to check me the doctor was not with her. She scanned me and took some pictures of my uterus and told me that it looked like I had extra fluid or something and that I would most likely have to do the surgery and wait to do IVF in January but that she wanted me to wait for the doctor to get back and talk to him just to be sure. She was not very nice about it she told me that there would be no reason to do IVF right now and then me have to abort the child because of complications. She obviously doesn't know me very well because it doesn't matter what the circumstance was I would NEVER abort my child. Anyway, I had pretty much accepted that I was going to have the surgery as I was waiting for the doc to come get me. Twenty minutes later another nurse came and got me to take my blood which was pretty confusing to me since I thought that I wouldn't be continuing my shots, why would they take my blood? After the nurse took my blood the doc came out and said I was good to go and we could do the procedure in November! I was shocked so I asked him about the pictures that the nurse scanned and he said that I was fine that whatever the nurse was talking about was not in my uterus so it will not have any affect on IVF. My lining was thin enough and I am still continuing to bleed a little bit so they said that was good. My doctor smiled and said, " This is your Happy Halloween." I think he knew how excited and happy his news made me!! I was so relieved and still am although I know that all things are possible with the God that we serve.

We are still not completely out of the woods yet. I have to start my follistim shots this weekend along with another new shot that he added to make the effects on my body a little stronger since the last time my eggs didn't get big enough. They think with adding in this shot we shouldn't run across the same problem so I am praying that is the case. I also have to keep taking my Lupron shot which keeps me from ovulating. I don't think I have ever been so excited to take three shots in one day but at this point I don't even care how many shots I have to have I just want my baby! :)

My next appointment is next Friday to check the status of my follicle growth. They said not to expect a whole lot until I go in that next Monday Nov. 10th but I will post after my appointment Friday and share.

New York

We had a blast in New York!! We did so many different things I couldn't put all of the pics, but I did pick out a lot. It was a great get away for us, I enjoyed everything....although I would have been okay with more shopping. :) Below are descriptions of the pics and what we did. They should be in order of how the pics are lined up.

We got up early to make it to the Today show but I'm pretty sure we didn't make it on TV, o well it was still fun!



Brads friend Nick lives in NY so we met up with him and his girlfriend and stayed up most of the night talking.



Just taking a snapshot in our hotel.

The next few pics are from us going up to the top of the Empire State Building it was one of my favs. It was beautiful looking out over the city and a little romantic :)



We went to the Jets/Chiefs game....kind of a disappointing ending but it was still fun! Fans at Arrowhead are way louder and more into the game. Brad was wearing his Larry Johnson jersey so of course he got all the attention from the Jet fans.



We went to the Museum of Natural History (the same museum thats in the movie "The Night at the Museum") The pic is with a full size blue whale.


We went to the old Yankee's stadium and took a tour. It was more for Brad but it was kinda fun we got to go in/on the press box, field, dugout, Monument Park, and locker room.


We took the Staten Island Ferry and saw the Statue of Liberty.
The Broadway Musical 'Wicked' has a lottery every night where they give away tickets for a cheaper price. You have to get there 2 1/2 hrs before the show and put your name in a drawing then they pull out 13 names and give away the tickets....we went the first night and they drew my name so Brad and I got front row tickets for a great price, we were pretty excited!
We went to Central Park when it was raining pretty hard so we didn't stay long or take many pics but we do have one! We heard later that night that Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex on the City was there that same night....to bad we didn't see her.



We were at the Rockefeller plaza it was neat we thought we saw Alec Baldwin but I don't think we did.

Last but not least... we had to go to Olive Garden! It was 3 stories tall and just like at home busy, we had wait almost an hour to be seated. I decided if we lived in NY I might have to pick a new favorite restaurant cuz the menu prices were quite a bit higher then the ones we have here at home. Looks like it will only be a vacation spot for us. :)

Our neice Kelsie's 1st Birthday!

Kelsie was one October 5th. She is definitely one of our greatest joys! Thought I would post a few pics to show off our little princess. She did not like her birthday cake to much :)

Starting a blog-my last doctor's appointment Oct. 9

I thought this would be a great way for everyone to stay updated with Brad and I's baby situation. Mainly for family/friends that we don't talk to everyday. I will put updates after all our appointments to keep you all posted. I will also put other fun stuff on here like our trip to New York and Holidays so it won't all be so serious. :) I hope you all enjoy!


October 9th-
I went to the doctor to have another SonoHG because the doctor wanted to check my cervix again and make sure that everything checked out ok before starting another IVF cycle like we are scheduled to do in November. The doctor said that my cervix cavity was to thin and it was keeping the fluids that need to get out of my uterus in, causing me to have a thicker lining. Obviously this was not good news for us, my doctor said that I will probably need to have a surgery called Hysteroscopy so he can remove some of the thick lining in my uterus otherwise I could easily miscarry if we went ahead and did the procedure without doing the surgery first. The doc said that since I should still have one more period before we start the November cycle he was going to give me until October 31st to see if my lining thins out at all on its own. If my lining is thin when I go back in on the 31st then we are good to go on with the procedure in November but if it is still thick then I will have to have the surgery and we will not be able to have the procedure until January. We ran across this same problem last time when we were scheduled to do the procedure in September and my lining thinned out so we are praying that it does this time around also!

Thanks for all your prayers and support we are still in need of them!
