My husband and I want to have a child, so I've been going to Dr's appointments every month this year.
Finnaly I've gotten to the point where I'm going to start IVF and EXI.
Today I will start my birth controll pills. Then on the 11th I go to my specialist and will learn how to give myself the shots of Lupron every day for 4 weeks. Then they will harvest six of my eggs. I will remain awake while they take them out.
I will also have to take a shot every day for the following six weeks, though I can't remember what it's called.
Then they will fertilize all six eggs by a the EXI procedure, by cutting off the tail of the sperm and injecting it directly into the eggs. Then we wait until they have grown to the proper size, and they choose two of the best developed eggs and place them back inside of me. Then we hope they will take. and Nine months latter a baby.
So thats whats up with me.
I'm going to be using this thread to keep you all updated, and also as sort of a therapy for me. By writing it all down, I can deal with my emotions etc.

Thank you so much Gem.
My friends have really been good to me lately.
We couldn't do this without so much support.

Well I went to my appointment and got my calander.
my "projected" date of pregnancy is October 31st.
So my "Projected" date of Birth is July 31st.
The nurse was nice, but she talks down to me. It makes me very frustrated. I'm an intelligent human being, even if I can't spell.
I took my mom with me to the appointment and the nurse talked to her, not me. "Hello, Lady, I'm the one doing this." Damn that burns me.
I hope the next nurse is better.
Sunday is when I start the shots.
*Rant*
My wonderful hubby is like We're really doing this, and We can get through this. I'm like whats this WE, it's ME. All he has to do is masturbate twice.
I have to do everything else.
*end rant*
No, he's wonderful, he really loves me and it's not his fault that I have anxiety and horrible nervs. I can't stand pain.
*more ranting*
Okay so I hit my head on the book case, helping my sister put her books on it. and it knocked me silly. I saw black fuz and got sick to my stomach.
It was so bad my hubby made me go see the Dr. and I have a very mild concusion. And a mega mega head ach that wont go away.
and guess what, I can't have any pain medicin. not even Tylenol.
This sucks.
*ranting done*

Good luck Gwyn. 3nodding My mum had to go through this exact procedure nearly twenty years ago to have me, and she never lets me forget that!! Though I would have thought IVF was 'less experimental' today than it was in 1986.

Not ment to be a mother.
I had two pregnancy tests, the first ne was inconclusive, but the second one proved that I am NOT pregnant.
The procedures did NOT work.
But it's okay. Some of us in this life, are just not meant to be Mothers.
I don't blame God, or anyone. It's just how it is.
I know it doesn't mean I'm bad or evil. I just was so hopeful.
My dreams crushed and I've taken it so hard.
But I'll be okay. I know things will get better, and we can always adopt.

Maybe you dont want to hear this, and I know you had your heart set on birting a child, but adopted children are your own, too. Adopted babies need all the love they can get and I think someone who wishes to have a child as badly as you do, would have a lot of love to give. I hope the best for you.

Just because your body was never meant to give birth doesn't mean you weren't meant to be a mother! You seem to me like a wonderful person who would be an excellent mom! As Pink Rhiannon said there is adoption. If I can't have children naturally that is what I am going to do. *hugs* I know it hurts. It hurt my mom when she had her uterus taken out and her tubes carterized. She knew that she could very well die if she tried to have another child but it hurt her to know that she couldn't anymore at all. Just know that we are all thinking about you and are wishing you the best. Much lurve for you!! heart heart
