So today is August 4,2010.
Neal and I went to see Dr. Deaton today to discuss our feelings about adoption and to see how he felt about what we were wanting to do. I explained my feelings about wanting to stop the coaster ride and that it was just really starting to get to me. Dr Deaton was really nice and wonderful about how I was feeling. When we first started this journey we knew that IVF was possible however we always prayed that we wouldn't have to take that route only cause we wanted the medications and such to work. With a person that has PCOS like I do it takes allot more sometimes then just medication to stimulate my eggs. Doctor Deaton explained to Neal and I the process of IVF and that I am a perfect candidate for the procedure. Doctor Deaton was not aware that my insurance covers IVF. When I told him that I would like to adopt he said that it was a great idea that he and his wife have adopted and that its such a blessing to be able to give a child a home that other wise not sure where they would be. Doctor Deaton suggested we try IVF first and but the adoption on the back burner for now. Only because when we start the IVF procedure he wants us both to have clear minds and not be stressing over the adoption process as well. So here we go...
In December we will contact Angela with Dr Deaton office and we will start the process to start IVF. I know that this may be another emotional ride but God will help us with that part. I am a pretty strong person and have been through allot so this is just another hump in the road ... Once we finish all the first process stuff we will do the actual procedure in February 2011. Exciting I know!
I am really excited about this. I am going to work on my weight and get my BMI down. The anesthesiologist requires that I be a certain weight I am only 9lbs from there however I want to loose more like 15-20 lbs. Neal and I are going to join the Thomasville Y (after I get my crown on my tooth) and start working out and eating better not just for IVF but because we need to for our future health and for us to feel better. So here we go.
After we have told everyone about now going to start adoption process ... we are not stopping those thoughts just going to try IVF. We may as well exhaust all our options and do what insurance covered. We may just try adoption as well. And in the mean time start taking better care of ourselves.
We know that with God anything is possible. We know that He is the ultimate decision maker and we give him the glory and honor for whatever our future holds.
Neal and I are really excited and its nice to know that we have a wonderful doctor that has the same belief's and that is there for us and will guides in the right directions. I feel allot better about what we are doing now.
So stay tuned ....
