Our Fertility Journey starts today....

Here we go people....Jeffrey and I got up at 4:30am to head to Carmel, IN (North of Indy). We went to see a fertility specialist. I know a big step for us. I was sick of spinning my wheels with a doctor who didn't care about me. Who just spouted information and left the room. I'm now with a doctor who actually sat with us to meet us and go over EVERYTHING. Each step we will take and what we need to do in each of those steps. 

Basically, we went today to just meet her and talk to her about our steps that we need to take. Well she went farther than that!! She took blood for blood work, did an ultrasound of my girly bits, and we are on track for an IUI this month. 


I got a shot in my butt to bring on a period. Then when it starts I call the office to set everything up. On Day 3 of my cycle I will be taking Letrozole from days 3 - 7 on days 8 - 10 I will give myself a shot once a day of Follistim. Then on day 11 I will get one shot of Overdrel and I will go into the doctor to check on my eggs to see how they are doing. Then we go in a few days later. Jeffrey will do his thing and they will then do the IUI in the office. 


The chances of the IUI taking this month are ok but possibly unlikely. Would I love for it to happen the first time and we won't have to do it again...HECK YES! But I will take what I can get. I'm just so overly excited that we are finally on the right track and we have a doctor that actually cares about us and isn't after money alone. 


I'm also on a special diet (KINDA) I'm no/low carb and 1200 calories a day. I'm off Mt. Dew. I'm back on Metformin and these next few months will be a whirlwind! Hold on to you seats....We are finally on track for Baby Finley!!
