On The Road To IVF

Okay guys, here's a quick update on our IVF stuff. Jim and I met with Jayme today to discuss our "calendar" for the next couple of weeks. Jayme will be our IVF nurse coordinator for the next several weeks helping us schedule appointments, keeping our medications straight, and keeping our sanity at a relatively low level. Our calendar indicates that I'll start my injections on February 3rd and our baseline ultrasound will probably be on Valentines Day. We're still scheduled for retrieval the last week of February with transfer being the first week of March. Unfortunately, Jim will be in training the first week of March so I have my mother lined up to help me get home that day. Also, once I get home I'll be on bed rest for the next few days so I'm sure my mother will be tying me to the couch since all of us know how well I handle bed rest...haha.

We also received a little bit of annoying news today...since we are now in a new year the Center For Reproductive Medicine (CRM) has decided to up their costs. Of course we are already paying an arm and a leg to have this procedure done and now they decided to increase their charges by $500 for IVF and $200 for freezing any possible follicles. DAMN IT!!!! We can never seem to catch a break! We budgeted for the original amount (an amount I'm not comfortable discussing here) and now we'll pretty much be cutting it close. I swear if it's not one thing it's another....
