I think we should try to plan for a get together sometime after the first of the year. Hopefully we'll have even more babies-on-the-way to celebrate by that time
Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! I'm taking the next 2 months off from IUI (will try again in November) because I'll be out of town, but I'll keep checking in here.
Have a great Tuesday!!
I got great news today. I spoke to the counselor I met with last week and she gave me the green light. This was my final piece to have prior to starting IVF for my nurse to order the meds.
A little background. I saw her last Tuesday and we started off a little rocky.
I'm pretty open about my history of Depression and medication I need to take. She initially requested I see a specialist about possibly getting off the meds during pregnancy and also asked for permission to speak to my psychiatrist.
I told her first I've spoken to 4 doctors in regards to my meds and we collectively chose to keep me on them. Though I still felt her resistance. I again told her I'm comfortable with my decision and to move on.
Then I told her giving her permission to consult with my psychiatrist felt invasive. And I wasn't giving it to her. I assured her he was on board but she said she wouldn't give me the okay unless I agreed.
So I walked out to the lobby. I came back in and expressed to her how this was making me feel but I will allow her to consult with him. Because I knew where he stood. Though needless to say the session didn't start off good. So we continued and things began to go much better. In fact after it all I sent her a thank you note expressing how grateful I was for her compassion and advice she shared with me.
And how appreciative I was of all the resources she gave me. Such as books to read, for me and my baby, pregnant yoga etc.
Now saying all that her and my psychiatrist have been playing phone tag for a week. Though she called this morning and said he was very much on board with my choice of IVF. And she now was mailing the green light letter to my RE.
I guess the excitement I feel is one a weight that this part is behind me and I'm not too crazy to be a single mom.
And two I've completed everything to go forward. Which made IVF very real for me today.
Thank you for letting me go on about this.

Are they placing you on birth control for the first 21 days?
My RE will be using it and now I worry how long after I stop will I get my period to begin IVF???
Always a worry of some sort isn't there?
Denise-that's gross....enjoy!! 😀 what is it with pregnant women and pickles??
Can't wait to see the ultrasound pics Drizzy. I love pickles too!! Enjoy your dinner.
As a nurse It is my responsibility to explain medications and if a patient has a question I can't answer I go and find the answer. It's my JOB.
Denise- I can't believe your 8 weeks. I imagine hearing the heartbeat was full of overwhelming joy and emotion. Whenever I'm at work and I get a pregnant trauma patient we ultrasound real quick to check the babies heartbeat. I literally hold my breath till we see it and sometimes cry when I do. It's so emotional. I'm so happy for you babe!!
I got the message from the nurse at the clinic that she is ordering my drugs in the morning and I should receive a call tomorrow from the pharmacy about payment and delivery. I'm hoping it's not gonna break my bank.. Lol
But it makes me soo excited to be getting closer and closer to this next step.
Kerri- can't wait to see you US!
Kisses to you all!
Lisa
Have a great day!
