Paul and Lacy came down for our group appointment with Leslee Murphy, which went great! That morning Paul and Lacy met with her first and then all four of us sat and talked with her. I knew that it was going to go smooth because 1- we had already been through this once and 2- we have an extremely open line of communication, which without that we wouldn't have made it this far! We all opened up and spoke about the first round and preparing for the second. It was nice to see that everything was laid out on the table. That day Lacy also had the hysteroscopy redone and they were very pleased with the results- as usual she has a beautiful uterus! HAHA! Later that afternoon we received our medication calendars and we able to really see a time line and all the dots connecting. As of now we are both on birth control- Lacy will start her lupron injections on Monday and I will start my lupron suppression phase on May 4th. On May 14th I will go in for what they call a "suppression check"- if everything is looking good I will start stimulation phase on the 16th and then will start the daily/bi-daily bloodwork and ultrasounds. I am praying for smoothness and healthy embryos this time around. We have everything in order now we just wait for the days to pass, which they really seem like they have been flying by. I called and paid for Lacy and I's medications today- wow. I'm not going to lie sometimes I honestly think about what all of the money we have spent could buy. There is no way we would have been able to do all of this without our family and friends. We are so blessed to have such a strong support system, it is just unbelievable. I am a little more nervous this time around than I was the first time- which is kind of weird seeing as I know somewhat of what to expect. I have high expectations this round and I am feeling much better. I had lunch today with a neighbor who I don't see very often, but her and her husband are looking into IVF. She had a lot of questions so it was kind of neat to tell her all about our experience.. I saw her when we were going through our first round but I knew that she was having a really hard time with her own fertility issues, so I didn't tell her that we were already half way through at that time, but today I told her about everything. Even though our story didn't have the first ending we were looking for, we are going to try one more time and see what we can do this time! Even though I am nervous and I am extremely excited and ready to get on with this!
