Well I have officially begun my IVF cycle last Thursday. It is a 2 month cycle... yesterday, I thought I might die of pain... okay, so maybe it was bearable pain, buy my goodness-- ouch! I had a couple procedures done (with no pain meds... just IB proffen-- what?!) : 1.a Hysterosalpingography (A.K.A. Hysterogram A.K.A. HSG) to make sure my uterus is free from polyps etc. and would successfully take an embryo-- click on the long word to get the full (yucky, painful) description. 2. They found "something" that needed to be checked out, so they then did a:Hysteroscopy-- again, quite painful and strange to see in full color on a tv screen my insides (ewwww). Everything's okay though-- praise God! I'll spare you all the details. :) I STILL have severe cramping today (something like I've NEVER felt... maybe it's a taste of labor pains!) so please pray for me to be pain free so I can be a better teacher tomorrow. :)
I'm PROUD of myself!!!!
I just officially gave MYSELF my injection this evening!!!! The needles are so tiny, but the other times I've had to do this I insisted my sister Leah or my hubby do it because I kind of have a fear/ passing out problem :), but with no one home but Cali (she's no help! :) ) I bucked up and did it-- and did not pass out- ha! Thank you Lord. Pray that God grant us peace-- and SUCCESS.
Praise be to the LORD my Rock,
who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle.
He is my loving God and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge...
Psalm 144:1-2

Amy, I didn't know you were doing this. My cousin and her husband just went through IVF. I know some of what you are going through from what she has been through. I will definatley keep ya'll in my prayers and be praying for a baby! I admire you for having the courage to open up on such a private issue. Your strength and faith is an example to all of us!
YAY! You are so tough ... way to give yourself that shot! Sorry I wasn't there to distract you with singing and piano-playing. Love you!
Amy,
I'm thinking about you and praying for you. Thanks for sharing; hang in there, friend. I would love to get together soon!
Hugs-Amy B
Girl, I just have to say how much I admire you for doing all this. You are so brave and strong! You will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. I pray this is a wonderful experience for you and Richey! Have a great week!
Oh my gosh! I had no idea you were having to go through this. One of my good friends did a few years ago. It was a long hard two months, but obviously the rewards far outweigh the negatives. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope it all goes as smoothly as possible.
good luck with this. we will be praying for you guys. i enjoyed reading your previous postings, casen is adorable, and your job and team seem like such a blessing. Tell Leah and Ben congratulations. We miss you all and wish we could make a trip there soon.maybe sometime this year.... love you
Oh, Amy! I'm so sorry you're going through this. I just had a hysteroscopy in December. I am incredibly irregular, so I have a feeling we will have a tough time once we do start trying. I am praying for you and know that you will make an amazing mother some day. :)
