I keep thinking of the
old school Super Nintendo Lion King video game. The intro music is so epic, and
when you select “new game”, Timon appears on the screen and announces, “It
Starts”. You just know you are going to be in for a real experience, and you
are filled with curiosity and delight, well, at least I was anyway! That is
exactly how I am feeling at this moment, very nostalgic but experiencing that
same feeling of excitement, waiting for anything and everything that will
happen during this journey!
As you can tell from
my over dramatic intro, I am officially on the path for IVF. I had my scan a
few weeks ago, and everything looked great, even the cyst that I had on my
right ovary, that was thought to have been an issue, is gone. I am officially 30
pounds down, which was my goal a few months ago! I am feeling pretty good! I
started birth control (sounds crazy, but it is part of the cycle) a few weeks
ago, but life had been a bit crazy and I completely spaced that I was supposed
to stop taking it last Monday, and I took it all through that week. I felt like
a moron, but thankfully, it didn’t get too messed up. I only had to take it for
4 more days, and start my injections a week later than was planned. So far, I
am on track to start those this Friday. After a few weeks on injections, I move
to the egg retrieval, then hopefully the transfer, and God willing, a
pregnancy! AHHH! It feels so insane to be this close to being pregnant. I am so
nervous, but feeling hopeful! Please, whoever is reading this, send lots of
prayers and happy thoughts my way, I could use them all!!
That is pretty much it for now, but I will be back with more updates soon!
