It's time!!

The time has FINALLY come.... yippee!

So the cyst is gone and I've been doing nightly injections the past 10 or 12 days and driving up to the doctor for my monitoring appointments every other day. I know understand why I don't live in a big city like Atlanta, traffic sucks. At these daily appointments they have been watching my eggs grow and mature and waiting for just the perfect moment for me to take my trigger shot and perform the actual retrieval. I went today for an appointment and I have 10 good sized mature eggs that Dr. Perloe seemed very positive about. There are also a few smaller eggs that he thinks will mature by retrieval day. My personal nurse, Jessica Summers, will give me my trigger shot tonight and I go in Thursday morning for the procedure. Luckily I will be put to sleep and shouldn't feel a thing. They will then take my eggs put them in a dish and directly inject Travis' sperm. They will monitor the eggs and watch them fertilize over the next few days. Once they are ready, they will be transferred into my uterus, possibly Monday or Tuesday of next week. Dr. Perloe will be transferring two embryos into my uterus that day...fingers crossed for twins! I am so excited and anxious about having IVF done. I feel like one of the reasons we have struggled the past three years in conceiving is due to the mobility rate for his sperm. I feel like they just were not meeting up soon enough in order to mate. I feel that since the specialists are making the egg and sperm meet physically themselves, that this will be successful for us. I pray that my body accepts the babies and it leads to a healthy pregnancy and delivery. I'll be in touch....remember Travis and I throughout the coming days and continue pray for success along with us.

Until next time....
