The answer is no, it didn't work. First round of IVF is in the process, as of today. We need lots of prayers and here is what we need specifically:
1. That it will work
2. That Kyle and I can understand each others feelings and talk about it without getting upset
3. That I will not stress out about it
4. That Kyle will be able to help me with the shots
5. That financially we will be ok with whatever we end up having to pay out-of-pocket, which I think should only be the medicine. But the medicine is about half the cost of the whole process. We have saved up, knowing we might have to do this; however, it's still a huge amount.
6. That we will be patient and encourage each other
My doctor called me just about 30 minutes ago (9:30 pm) from his house to make sure his nurse went over everything with me and asked me to call him tomorrow to go over my lab results. I was impressed. I, however, was not impressed earlier when it took them 5 times to draw blood. It's always a struggle but I'm pretty sure I'll look like I shoot up tomorrow at work. Finally got it out of my hand.
I've had a sad couple of days, but...I love this:
Keep Calm and Carry On

Two Week Wait
I've read some infertility blogs and learned some new lingo. Here goes:
TWW- two week wait from IUI or IVF until pregnancy test
BFN- Big fat negative (test)
BFP- Big fat positive
TTC- trying to conceive
...and that's all I remember. I try not to read too much of those because you can really get consumed with the whole thing. And it's pretty consuming without reading all of that. I'm still reading the book my mom got me and plan on sharing it with a friend beginning the infertility struggle. It has verses every few paragraphs that are so applicable to my daily life and thoughts. I'm still struggling but trying not to stress. There is nothing I can do about it. There's nothing I can do to make it better. We just have to wait and see if it "works." And just go from there. I'm trying not to look at things long-term, but just daily. And that has helped. Sweet Kinley left my house today and said, "Bye, I losh you." Precious, melts my heart. Maybe she will hold me over til we can have our own. :)
Just got done watching Parenthood. I LOVE that show. The most "real" life a sitcom I've ever seen. And I cry every week. And laugh. Go ahead, watch it next week if you haven't been. Tuesdays at 9 on nbc. You can take a peek here.
