Back to the Grind

I called and made the appointment for John to get another follow up SA - this is the last one before of IVF cycle. I cannot believe it has been almost a year since John surgery. In my dreams the surgery fixed everything and we got pregnant on our own - but it does not work like that. I am hoping for some improvement though.

I told John that I like to have a sample frozen prior to the actual IVF - as a back up. Well he flipped out and said no - he said he could do it that day of the ER and there will be no problem. Well I know this sounds bad but I do not care - I want a sample frozen. After all that I will be put through I want to have a back up plan - I plan on asking if this is standard procedure at our consult.

I have yet to open my IVF packet. We already did all the paperwork and they already have a file set up for us - so I am sure it is just odds and ends stuff. I will open it tonight.

Last night I could not sleep because I was thinking all our nursery - I guess that is a good sign that I am hopeful that this IVF is going to work. It just has to work.

Our RE strongly recommended a back up sample. You never know what might happen - if he's sick, has to go out of town for an emergency, or whatever - it's good to have a back up so you don't waste all that money on meds!

Keep thinking positive...it's gonna happen!! :)
