Yesterday I started my first instructed medication from ORM: birth control pills. My period started 4 days ago (I was so stoked!) and next Friday (11/21/14) I'll head into ORM for some tests. They'll look at my uterus to make sure there aren't any physical limitations, check uterine blood flow, and do a "mock transfer"- where they'll insert a small catheter into my uterus via my cervix; like they will do for the real transfer.
I've heard these procedures don't take long but after I'll have a "teaching meeting" to go over the IVF treatment and show us how to administer the shots. 😳 I'm a little nervous but I know it'll be just fine 😊
Before I can start any of the injections, I have a long list of blood tests that I need to get processed, along with a physical clearance from my midwife. I plan to go get my blood work done on Monday or Tuesday and should have my clearance back by Friday.
We skyped with M and S yesterday. It was great to see them and we plan to skype every Saturday, at least. We even got to meet M's sister and they were able to see the boys! We're hoping to purchase a tablet soon which will make skyping easier. Right now we're using my iPhone which has limited sound and a relatively small screen compared to a tablet.
I want to send a huge shoutout to M & S's families! Hi everyone!!! I'm so happy you're reading this blog and I can't wait to meet all of you some day! I know we'll get to meet some of you when M & S come for the delivery but hopefully we can meet the rest of you when we visit France after the babies are born. If any of you would like my email address, please ask M or S for it! I'd love to chat with you!
I'm so excited things are moving along! Next thing I know I'll be delivering babies into the loving hands of their fathers ❤️
