Struggles with Infertility

Being a parent is not something that everyone has as a goal in life. But once you decide that you want to be a parent, and you are unable to, your life can either unravel, or you can try to find meaning in your struggles. This blog is me trying to find meaning.

Moving forward - September can't come soon enough!

We are booked in and have a schedule for the next few months! The seminar/appointments take place on September 21 and 22.

September 21 from 7 pm to 9 pm we have a seminar on what exactly will happen, including drugs, egg retrieval, fertilization and transfer for both of us.

September 22 is full of appointments:

8:30 am to 9:30 am: Psychologist
10:00 am: I have an ultrasound / Lara has an ultrasound and sonohysterogram (don’t read my post about my sonohysterogram Lara!)
10:00 am and 10:15 am: Semen Analysis for the guys
2:00 pm: Meet with our primary doctor, Dr. Scott, and our awesome nurse Kathy to do a final discussion

Lara will be starting her mock cycle the same week to test her response over about seven or eight weeks. She’ll be on Suprefact, Estrace (estrogen) and Prometrium (progesterone) and has an ultrasound 14 days after starting the Estrace to check her lining.

If all goes well, we will be starting to cycle at the end of November or beginning of December. The clinic is closed for ten days over Christmas, so fingers crossed our cycle falls outside of those days or we’ll have to delay to January.
