Its getting closer

Merry late Christmas everyone! My husband and I had a great Christmas traveling back and forth from Norman Oklahoma to Tulsa to see all of our family. It was a blast. We are blessed with amazing families.
I'm still doing the shots right in the belly. Great fun. I have little pin marks all over my lower stomach I'm sure you all know how attractive that looks. I'm getting so excited/nervous, COME ON ALREADY! I want to leave now to head out to see the ivf specialist. I go back to see my in town Dr (who I absolutely adore) tomorrow to take a whole bunch of tests to see if I'm ready for the rest of the most important part of the meds. The meds to make all my follies grow! I sure hope I get allot, In the past before we tried in vitro we would always get to many so I hope that this time that's the same problem. I'm not exactly sure what they are testing tomorrow but I know its going to be lots of blood and who knows what else. I don't care as long as it gets me closer to my future babies.
Well not much else to share today, I just wanted to tell everyone Merry Christmas and that I appreciate the comments. It helps me and makes my husband and I feel less alone in the whole process.
Have a happy and safe New Years!

Started the meds

Well Its all beginning! I stated the meds on Wednesday the 17th of December. I feel ok right now, but wow last week I was a complete wreck! I don't know if its the fact that I was on birth control non stop. I wasn't taking the sugar pills I was instructed to stay only on the active pills. Well apperantly that made me a complete psychotic nut case. I actually cried in my bosses office for the most rediculouse reason. Not a little teary eyed cry. FULL FLEDGED TEARS DOWN THE FACE, RED EYED, COULDN'T STOP CRYING! It was mortifying and I'm sure I better get used to it. I'm not usually a crier, it just happened. I have to get ahold of myself, and luckily the past three days I have been doing much better. I do a change on the meds tomorrow so we will see how that works. I'm soooooo excited, scared, but super excited. I can't wait to go on the road to the clinic we are having our procedure done at. We will leave sometime around January 5th or 7th. I can't wait. I pray so much about this. Please God help us to be strong through this and help us to become parents.

SOOOO NERVOUS!

I'm sort of new to all of this but I just had to do it. I need a place where I can talk about all this personal infertility stuff with people who understand. So if your going through this or have gone through this than please feel free to visit with me anytime.
I start my IVF cycle on December 17th and up until today when I was on my way to work did I realize that Oh my gosh THIS MIGHT NOT WORK! We've been through so much already it seems (although I know so many women go through so much more). I'm just terrified of what I will do if this doesn't work. I'm so ready to be a mom, I pray all the time about it. I can't wait to have children and neither can my hubby. I'm scared about the entire process, the money, my health, the outcome, my husband. All of it.
I guess I just need a little advice and a little bit of reassurance. I read other blogs about women going through this and its so nice to know other women understand.
