And so the IVF journey begins.........
Yesterday I had day 2 bloods done, and today day 3 bloods - let me just say this for the record, the same tests I've done a million times.  Anyhow, the first at VL and I guess I would much more prefer them to double check everything before starting the actual procedure. So today I made my first appointment, I will be seeing Dr J on Thursday, where I will be doing my very first HSG, and hubby his 4th sperm sample...shame, poor man, or shall I rather say - poor me!
Financially we know this so far:  Bloods for day 2 & 3 (his & hers) - don't know yet? (hopefully medical aid will cover).  Consultation at VL @ R980.  HSG @ R1400. Hubby's "hand job" @ R550 and that's that so far.......
Okay, let's see....prep for IVF - Staminogrow, Follic acid, Omega 3,6,9.  Healthy eating, cutting out as much carbs and sugar as possible.  Acupunture from next week, mainly to reduce my stress levels.....I'm not good in that department!
I will definately not get an award on writing, this looks more than a telegram than a post....haha.  Well mainly it's for me to look back and remember exactly how, when and who. After all, this is part of my journey, and hopefully soon, very soon I will write about my pregnancy, birth and my little angel /s!!
Then last but not least........today I'm excited.  My husband is a rock and I love the way he is interested in every little TTC detail, how he asks questions about the IVF.  I love the way he comforts me and how he wants to be involved and be part of every bit of this! I love the way he speaks about our future children and love the feeling of not being alone!!!
