This morning was the mock embryo transfer. Everything looks good. My uterus doesn't have any abnormalities that will interfere with the IVF treatment. They also gave me the schedule of the meds and roughly when everything will take place. I start the injections on the 19th and the egg retrieval should be on the 30th. The embryo implantation will fall somewhere between July 3rd and 5th. This means if we get pregnant (fingers crossed) that we will have a little one at the end of March 2012! I am so excited and terrified at the same time. I can't wait to be a mother and for Michael to be a dad. I hope we will be good parents. I will update again soon.
Bye for now!

The Journey Begins
I am 32 years old and my husband is 39. We have been together over nine years and married for six years. We wanted to wait a few years after we were married to start a family. We never imagined that it would be so hard to add a little one to our lives. It has now been over 2 years since we first started trying. It has been a wonderful and heartbreaking 2 years and now the possibility of really getting pregnant is right around the corner. Struggling with infertility has been trying, but it has also brought my husband and I closer together.
Growing up, everyone made it sounds like you could get pregnant at the drop of a hat. "All it takes is one time," they would say. Yeah, not so much. For my husband and I the only hope is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). We have gone through all the tests and now the day is approaching when we will actually start taking all of the meds to help us concieve. I cannot wait, but I am also terrified.
This blog will follow our journey towards having a beautiful blessed child. Infertility is becoming more widespread for many reasons. However, no one really talks about it. At least with the Internet you can find support, but this is like any other medical condition and I don't think it should be anything to be ashamed of. So I will chronical our experience here and I hope it helps someone else know they are not alone.
