It has been a long time since we have posted on this blog. We have a new adventure starting this Saturday at 8am. We have been fortunate enough to be able to start IVF to grow our family!
Here is a little recap of our journey trying to give Dugs a little brother or sister. When Kain turned 2 Eric and I tried to get pregnant for over a year and were successful at the end of March 2014. I was pregnant for 1 week until things weren't quite right. I ended up having an ectopic pregnancy (where the baby was growing in my tube), the baby grew so much it ruptured my tube and I lost my tube and the baby. That didn't stop us.. we then sought out help from a fertility specialist who helped us try determine why it is so difficult for us to get pregnant. We continued to try and got pregnant again Nov. 2015 we knew we were pregnant for 4 days then it was deja vu all over. I then lost the baby and my last tube. Without your tubes it is impossible to get pregnant because there is no freeway to connect the eggs to the home(uterus). This brings us to our new journey of IVF.
If you would like to follow our IVF journey I would love to have your read along and see this process. I only ask if you follow along your send lots of good, positive baby vibes our way. We would love to welcome more kids to our family to love and teach!
Pre IVF
Here are all the medicine(mostly shots) that I get to take during the beginning phase of this journey. A little education about this is that all:- A normal lady produces 1-2 eggs per month, which could be a baby (if all goes right)
- IVF cycle the doctor wants to get 30 eggs for potential embryos
- Lots eggs = lots of potential embryos (babies)
