Starting Over... I Wish It Were Easier!!

Ok so I know I have not updated this thing in a few months... they have been hard!! As I am sure you can tell (def by the lack of super amazing ultra sound posts) our IVF did not work. There was no reason for it. The doctor was actually just as if not more shocked than I was. The IVF was PERFECT on paper but for some reason it did not work. After a month of crying and a couple of months of praying... Michael and I (and God) have decided that we are going to start fostering children in hopes that it leads to adoption. We start our 7 week classes next Thursday. I will try to keep everyone updated as we move along. Thank you for all of your prayers and support!! Love to All... Kacey!!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created byMckMama. You can head over to her blog to read whatshe and everyone else have not been doing this week.

Well it is that time again!! Time to relive all of the exciting things that I absolutly did not do this past week!! This list isn't too long but worth it none the less.

The first thing that I definatly did Not do was leave the Christmas tree still standing in the livingroom. I know who would ever let an undercorated from December Christmas tree still hang out in their living room?? Definatly NOT ME!!

And on Friday after my Fertility appointment I in no way went to the mall to Destination Maternity to try on clothes!! As if that was not enough I did Not put on the 7 month "pretend" belly to see what I would look like preggers!! That totally was NOT ME!!

And there is no way that I made The Sgt watch the Miss America pagent with me and take this picture when he fell asleep directly after the Swim Suit Competition. And he is Not bundled up like an Eskimo outside in Alaska because I did Not have the heater off when it was 30 degrees outside while I am Not having hot flashes like a 50 year old women going through menopause on this new medication. Ha, Ha that was sooo NOT ME!! Poor Sgt!!

Doctor's and Pizza

Fertility and Women's Health Center

Well had another RE appointment this morning. I started Lupron (10-units) (the Lupron is given so that I will not prematurely ovulate) last Sunday. I had to give myself a shot% f that every night this week at 8pm. Today I went in for BW, to check my hormone levels and make sure they are not out of whack and an US to make sure there were no cysts and that my follicles looked good!! And I got an A+ everything looked great!!

The US Room

The US Tech Keeps Up With The Seasons!!

My Beautiful Uterus!!

So after the US I talked with the nurse and we set up a medicine schedule!! I get to start my Stim Meds on Sunday!! The Stim Meds are to make my follicles big enough to mature and retrieve!! I will take 1 Follistim shot (150IU) at 7pm and 1 shot of Menopur (1 amp) at 7pm and then 1 shot of Lupron (5 units) at 8pm. I will do this Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday night and I will have an appointment Wednesday morning at 9:45am to check on my follicles and make sure they are progressing. At that point they will determine whether to increase, decrease or keep my Stim meds the same based on follicle growth. I am praying that I am a fast stimmer and that I will have nice big fat follies!!

Yes We Are Pizza Hut People!!

Now for the Pizza... I will be ordering in just a few short hours for our weekly Pizza and Beer night with the Dobsons!! It is such a great way to relax and ring in the weekend!! I can smell the cheese and pepperoni already!!
