Were Keeping Our Fingers Crossed!!

So this week has been completely miserable and it's only Wednesday!! The only this that is getting me through is HOPEFULLY by the end we will be holding a sweet baby!! Doug and I have been struggling with infertility and didn't realize the severity of it until about 9 months ago. We had been trying to conceive for about 13 months before that. I saw my regular OB ( who is seriously the best!) who helped us figure out what the problem was. We went through 6 artificial insemination's, that were obviously unsuccessful! We were referred to a fabulous reproductive care doctor. Doug and I went through extensive testing. We went through 2 more artificial insems, and still no success. Which has lead us down the road we are on now. It is exciting, frustrating and emotional all at the same time! We have started our first (and hopefully last for a little while) IVF cycle. It's exciting because we have a plan and the chances for getting pregnant will be greater! But then there is always the chance of it not working and having to do it all over again! I'm not sure how much more my body can handle, not to mention my family! Poor Doug and Addaly have had to suffer the rath of my emotional ups and downs. Doug has been fabulous! He has been so great to give me my 3 shots a day for the last week, take care of me when I don't feel well, and listen to me when I cry over the smallest things! For the last 2 weeks I have had to visit the doctors office every other day, up until this week. This week I have gone every day.They do an ultrasound and blood work to monitor the way my follicles are growing. We are so close but not quit where we need to be. He has increased my medications several times and were keeping our fingers crossed that Saturday will be the big day to take them out!! They will wait 3-5 days depending on the embryos to put them back in. So please send your prayers this way! We want more then anything to hold a baby in our arms and for Addaly to be a big sister!
