Well Geoff and I had our appointment last Friday with the RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist) and we found out some GREAT things, so first of all Geoff's semen analysis came back almost perfect.. he was very proud! :) Second we found out that the clinic now offers a special Mini IVF Cycle for people like us who do not have major issues going but still can't get pregnant, and the best part it is more affordable! The Mini IVF Cycle is stimulated with Clomid only so I will not be pumping myself full of a bunch of hormones, also it will only stimulate a few eggs instead of as many in a regular cycle (8 to 15) which is where a lot of the cost lies. With this procedure they do the ICSI method where they actually insert the Sperm into the Egg instead of just putting them into a dish together and seeing what happens. The doctor feels like we have a 50 to 60% chance of this working for us and I am going in to it believing that it WILL happen! I feel like this spring is my time whether it happens naturally before or in May with the IVF either way I am staying positive and believing that we will get our baby.
On another note I know there are some people who do not get it and they feel like we just aren't trying hard enough, while everyone has their right to an opinion sometime opinions are better left to themselves because they can be hurtful. At this time we need the love and support of friends family not to be questioned about our decisions and we appreciate all the support and love we have received!
