So many of my friends and family have asked whats the dillo about everything all the doctors visit. So here it goes. So after our last round of fertility shots we did not conceive however I had a ton of HUGE cyst. So the doctor put me on birth control what a shocker I know however the birth control was to shrink the cyst and that's what needed to happen. After the pills I needed to start a cycle needless to say it took three weeks to start not 5 days. My uterus was totally confused and it then went into overdrive. I started kinda slow and thought that it was going to end one week later however I was totally wrong after bleeding for 4 weeks straight my doctor decided to have me come in for blood work and see what was going on. This wasn't normal bleeding I felt like I was loosing so much blood I had no energy, felt tired all day, was in a bad mood, bloated. Even though all this was going on I still had to work a full time job, help Neal with the catering business, meet with clients, clean house, do my laundry and still help plan a wedding that I am in and and pray that during all this that God gave me the strength cause if He didn't I wasn't sure how I would do everything that I have to do. After my doctors appointment I was no anemic put on 2 iron pills twice a day as well as still take my prenatal. I was like WHAT IN THE WORLD! My doctor decided to put me on progesterone shots because my uterus didn't know whether to stop or start and I was not producing enough estrogen to stop so my wonderful sister in law Marcie gave me shots for seven days in the rump (yes I did say rump) it hurt but was suppose to make me stop. So after those I did finally did stop for three days and I started all over again which I was told by my doctor that I would but this one would be normal . AND IT WAS!!! WOOOOWEEE. Even though my iron level this past week was still an 8 was better than a 5.8 and I feel allot better. I can tell that I am getting my energy back and should be back to normal within a couple weeks!! I actually walked allot today and didn't feel like I was going to pass out and I was better with shortness of breath! So now what...
Neal & I as well as doc deaton have decided that Feb 2011 will be the month that we do IVF. We will start in December with testing, blood work for both of us, line up times to get my uterus ready which I think is shots but I am not 100% sure all what we have to do however takes a month and half to get everything lined up. We are hoping to do the procedure of the transfers the first week of February of course all this depends on getting my body prepped as well as making sure both Neal and I are physically ready.
We are both leaning on God for strength and understanding that God is in ultimate control over anything not Neal, I or the doctors. We have the strength given by God to know that he is in control and we have to believe that. I pray daily and Thank God for the strenth to overcome what we have so far.
So I hope this updates everyone on where Neal and I are on this journey of being blessed with a little baby! We are totally excited and know that God has HUGE things in store for him and I. We just know it!!
Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers and please keep them coming!!
LOVE
Neal & Lizzy
