Last night CP and I went through the mountains and
mountains of IVF paperwork given to us by our clinic. We had to make decisions on whether we would
be open to selective reduction (yes), what to do if one of us dies (donate to
research), what to do if we get divorced (donate to research), etc. We also read through the risks of the drugs, retrieval
process, and transfer process. Fun
reading by the way. ;-) Afterwards I had CP watch a video I saw a few
months ago which does a pretty good job of explaining the whole process and
even shows the ICSI procedure.
View the video here (the video starts after about 20 seconds in or so)
Not that CP hasn’t been on board with IVF for a
while, but he hasn’t shown much interest in the process so discussing it last
night was nice. I sort of went on a rant
a few days ago when he complained about the multivitamins creating heartburn
when he took them at night. He agreed
that he hadn’t been taking the multivitamins seriously because he doesn’t think
that they are going to do anything. (Our RE in CT basically said that
multivitamins just make for expensive pee.)
I told him that we had already purchased the multivitamins and so while
he may think that he just has expensive pee, we are wasting money by him not
taking the pills and if it doesn’t work than at least we tried. It’s not like the pills are going to harm him
or his sperm. Needless to say, he has
gotten better about taking his pills and that rant may have been why he was
entertaining all of the IVF paperwork.
:-)
I’m headed into my clinic tomorrow for an ultrasound
and bloodwork (CD 3) and am looking forward to our meeting with our doctor next
Friday on our first IVF cycle!
Also, I keep meaning to mention these resources for

Omg we're exactly aligned with our cycles! I'm going in for my Day 3 bloodwork and u/s tomorrow, too... and if all looks good, I'm supposed to start birth control on Day 5. That paperwork is pretty intense; we had to fill that stuff out with our IUIs -- it's like, really, is my husband going to die in between giving his sperm sample at 9 a.m. and me doing the IUI at noon?? I sure as hell hope not!
How exciting for you two to get the process started. It seems that time goes so slow then speeds up then slows down but you are moving forward.
Super exciting news! I am glad things are finally moving forward! Good luck at the ultrasound tomorrow.
Such a daunting yet hopeful time. Glad to hear your husband is showing some interest. And I think it's normal that he didn't until this point. I have high, high hopes for you in 2013 my friend!
And yes, the Bitter Infertiles podcast is THE BEST! I look forward to it each week.
How EXCITING!! I hadn't realised you guys were that close to starting! What wonderful progress. I am scared of all that paperwork!
It's nice when one little rant can have long-lasting results ;)
Congratulations on this new beginning - may it be one with a very happy end!
It's always nice when a little rant goes a long way. :)
