Today was our "treament protocol" appointment. They went over all the test results for Thomas and I. Dr. Allon was extremely pleased with everything and feels we should not have any problems along the way. They did order one more blood test for Thomas. I believe it is called a CVM.. its something they look for positive or negative and its really not a concern other than the fact if he is positive Lacy must be positive.. If Thomas is negative it doesn't matter what Lacy tests. They went over the procedure in more detail with us. Hopefully December 2nd, we can schedule our IVF consult and Lacy will be brought in for all of her preliminary tests. They will discuss any hormone treatment her and I will need and we are hoping to be ready for the transfer sometime in January. I have to admit I am a little nervous about the egg retrieval. They will put me under but it still makes me nervous. We will both be on hormone injections- myself to mass produce eggs so when they retrieve they are able to get a good amount and Lacy for her body to be prepared for the embryos. Dr. Allon prefers to place two embryos leaving us with a 30% chance of twins. Originally he said maybe 25%, but he feels my eggs and Thomas' sperm are both healthy so he uped the chance slightly. I have to be honest I would be totally nervous if we were pregnant with twins but I also feel whatever is in God's will is how it is meant to be. Once they retieve my eggs and Thomas gives his sperm sample, they will fertilize 5 eggs that day. On day 5 after, they will pick two embryos to transfer. After that we will be ready for a pregnancy test 12-14 days later!! If we are pregnant at 6 weeks we will do an ultrasound to look for a hearbeat! I can't not imagine how we will feel if and when we hear a heartbeat, backing up- I can't imagine how we will feel if or when the test is positive. Due to the hormone therapy they will do a blood pregnancy test for accuracy. I called the lawyer today to start the contract process and hopefully everything keeps going smoothly!! I cannot even believe we are just trucking along.. so crazy to think that this time next year hopefully we will be holding our little one!! Lacy is so awesome in case I haven't said that along the way. I spoke with her today abotu insurance stuff and our next steps and she is so concerned with making this easy for us... I mean how selfless can she be, just amazes me. I am so concerned with making her comfortable and trying to make traveling and so forth easy and she is more concerned with making it easy on us. She is a God sent Angel, I tell ya! I had lunch today with Cayce and Sam.. and of course two of the most precious boys- Brigham and Randon! I can't wait for the day our little one will be running around with our friends kids! Thank you to everyone for your love and support! We are beyond blessed!! Some have asked how can they help, well prayers is first.. we wouldn't be where we are with out them! Second, just being a friend even if you don't understand why we're doing this.. it's okay you don't have to understand, but letting us know you support us is enough! And third, we have setup a "Go Fund Me".. please do not feel obligated or bad for not using it.. it's by no means for everyone, but for those that want too it's there! Well till next time!! Gotta get busy with planning the next two months are going to be crrazzzyy!!
