Long time no blog

Well hello there! Gosh..I cant believe its been so long since I have blogged...talk about having alot to say!
Im blogging from Czech Republic. I know right!! All the way across the world! So much has happened since the last time I blogged!
I guess...I miss my bed..just alittle...LOL...but Im sooo happy to be here. And even more thankful!
Things are going just as planned....but I wouldnt expect anything less!
I guess to keep it short...I will tell you about my IVF...
I had my eggs retrieved on Thursday...12 of them...WONDERFUL!!!! I was a egg making machine...for only stimulating for two weeks...thats pretty good. Out of the 12...9 of the accepted hubbys sperm...out of the 9...to date 7 of them are still growing...and growing strong! There was no way we would have done a 3 day transfer...there are just too many good quality eggs! So transfer is Tue at 8:30...im sure by them my Marvin III and Iadyn will prove that they are the strongest of the group. We talk about those babies everyday. Today we went into the main part of town...did sooo much shopping. I even picked the babies up a hat each...they have there first outfit at home waiting...and I couldnt believe we found a hat to match..all the way across the world....then again...why not believe it...its just another sign from the universe that we are on the right track. Of corse I also got 3 new pairs of shoes...and lots of shirts that will grow with my growing belly. Im soo excited to have my boys back in utero.
My friend was also here...but she has returned home now with 3 beautiful babies in utero. Im sooo happy for them. She has sent me some things to keep me busy while im on bed rest. One is really interesting...its called a birth plan....it lets me..let everyone else know what I expect from this wonderful birth. I cant wait to start it. Hubby has strictly laid his foot down..on Tue I will not be doing anything besides chatting on the computer..and getting up to use the potty..LOL..he is sooo great! We fly out on Thur...I cant wait to see my little Lamb, fuzzy and my puptio....I do get the chance to chat with them daily.
Another of my friends reminded me that I have this blog..LOL...she just started on...and it was really fun reading hers....Im soo excited for her also...I know that everything will be just WONDERFUL with her IVF cycle this time. Once one knows the secret..how can you live anyother way but optimisticly!!
Thanks to all my friends!! A real friend is someone who wants the best for you NO MATTER WHAT!!! No ifs ands or buts! And will stick by you thru it all!
Thanks to all my friends!!!!!!!!!
I really love you all!

I will miss you

Well hello there. How are you today? Great I hope! I will miss you my bed...tonight is the last night in my own bed. That means we are one day closer to leaving for Europe. My ovaries are feeling pretty big today....and I havent even taken my shot yet.
Im gonna nap as much as I can today..Im sure we will make it thru this successfully as long as I follow my bodies cues.
Todays post is short...sorry.
I will post from ATL tomorrow.

Friends

Well hello there. How are you today..Blessed I hope! Today is day 3 of stimmulation....so far...yesterday I had one of those Gonal F headaches...it was pretty bad...I took a nap and it went away. Thats the key...take a nap. My ovaries started to get alittle tender...but when I woke up from my nap...my belly was ok too. God is good!
Well yesterday we went out with some really good friends. We always have fun when we go out with them. We ended up going to a Mexican resturant...the boys got drunk...LOL...we had sooo much fun!! Hanging out with them really makes me feel good inside...if it feels good do it often right.
Anyway...yesterday I got a earful about my ex-friend....now that I have started my new life..with my new way of thinking...I try not to get into all that...when I was young my momma told me...people will always talk about you...even if your doing good..they will still talk. So all that he said she said...I try to let it roll off me.
Well this chick is stalking me...we are not friends please keep my name out of our mouth...Im pretty sure she will read this as a stalker...yes this is about you!!
Get off my jock chick! I could care less about what is going on in your life...so dont worry about mine! Stop looking at my you tube videos and saying nasty things to my friend about it....if you dont like what you see or hear...stop reading my blog and stop looking at my video!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope one day you realize things that you say...will always come back to you! After everything Im still praying for you and your family. But thats the only time I speak your name.....I have nothing else to say to you!!! Get off my jock!! and get a life!!!!
Anyway. We are leaving in just 2 days now...we still have so much packing to do...I am getting sooo excited!!!
Until later

Stims started!! Woo Hoo

Well hello there! Yesterday right after I posted....(tmi) I went to the bathroom to find AF waiting for me...woo hoo...she is always right in time. So today was my first day of stimmulation. I took 187IU of Gonal F...from the multi-dose vial. I made a video of it so my mom could see..LOL...she is soo far away...and I wanted her to feel like she is not missing too much. Im gonna put the video here so you can see it to :)
Right now I feel wonderful! This is the start of us getting our babies. Im just alitle nervous about some of the side effects. I suffer from chronic headahces...one of the s/e is headaches....Im sure im gonna get one....im gonna try to beat it by being proactive and taking some tylenol before the headahce has a chance to hit.
My friend is already in the UK...she got great news yesterday about how many follies she has....I also got a email from my IVF coordinator...saying so far this year...everyone who has went over for a fresh cycle has become pregnant. Those odds are wonderful!! One girl said....."im not sure what they are doing there...but they are doing something right" how awesome is that! In less than a week now.....it will officially be my turn. Just 4 days now...and we are on our way!!
The other day I mentioned a old friend...where our friendship has ended...and Im happy with that...anyway...her results were negative...I really feel for them. I know how bad they want it...I will continue to pray for them.
Im still feeling like a million bucks...the illness...whatever it was...has not returned...woo hoo. Tomorrow we are gonna visit our good friends...I needed to see them before we take off for this vacation. I love being around them and the baby...they are REAL friends. So much so...I have asked her to be the godmom to the boys...and she accepted. How wonderful is that!
Im sooo happy......its almost my time!
Until later

By his power

By his power I am healed~
Thank you father!
Well hello there. As my prior post says...I have been sooo sick!! I prayed to my father for healing....with faith I knew I would be healed. This morning I feel better than I have in a LONG time!! My "bubble guts" (lol) is all gone! Im soo thankful. I was afraid I may have to be hospitalized for dehydration! Which would then mess up my IVF for next week. ~~But I have faith!! I already handed my IVF over to God. I have faith that my twins will be here in Dec...both healthy!! I believe with all of me that by his power!!!!!!
Knowing that everything has to fall into place...and most of it is out of my hands....I know my God will give exactly what we ask for...
Woke up today with bad cramps...all I could say was Thank You! I know my body....knowing that my cramps are here...without a doubt I know AF will be here tomorrow first thing in the morning....if not sooner...it would be great for it to show up today...that way I could start my gonal tomorrow. Less than one week now.....we will be headed to Brno UK. This time next week....we will be there!!! We couldnt be more excited!!! DH's last day at work is Monday....Tue we are leaving to head to GA...we are flying out of ATL into VIE....arrive VIE at 9am. We are almost all packed....gonna finish packing this weekend.
Stay tuned...things will be happening fast soon!!

Down with Birth Control Pills

Well hello there!
I missed posting yesterday...I was sooooooo sick...never made it out of the bed. Im alittle better today...or atleast im out of the bed. Drinking pepto bismol like candy...Hopefuly that will make me feel better...im glad im sick now..and not next week for our trip.
Well....NO MORE BCPs....woo hoo...now the wait for aunt fran.......she should be here by Friday...she is soooo predictible!! Can you believe I cant wait to start my shots! Which means I cant wait to see aunt fran...crazy I know...but this will be the last time I see aunt fran for 9 months...so that thought keeps me going! "Thoughts become things" and I really really really believe that..with all of my heart and soul!!! www.thesecret.tv
I did NOTHING yesterday....I was able to read about 2 pages of my book.....but I kept getting sick...so I put my head under the covers and tried to sleep thru it.
This however is a different but than what I had this weekend....this one is worse!! But I have already claimed my healing....and Im begining to feel healed! Im gonna lay on the couch today while God works his magic on my body!
My prayer for today....I have a "friend" she and I had a big falling out....but im ok with that....I believe that you attract to you...just what you want....and she has always been drama...so im ok with no longer being friends....that doesnt mean I cant wish her well......but my prayer for today...she is waiting on results from a pregnancy test...I pray she is pregnant!!!!
Until later

Few more days

Well hello there. How have you been? This weekend was hard for me. Ugggh I was sick all weekend. Sat...so much so...I could barley get up off the couch. My belly felt like it was being attacked! Sunday....I guess I was getting better. So we decided to take Pupito to the park. He is such a great dog! He loves to run and play. The boys enjoy playing hard with him. Otherwise...I spent all weekend on the couch reading. I finished "Conversations with God" part 3 yesterday....we went to the book store because I wanted to find something about "time" BAM didnt have the book...so im gonna order a book about "time" off the net. I found the one I want...just have to order it. Only 1 more day of birth control pills left! Woo Hoo...as soon as AF comes I start my gonal f. I primmed my pen already...when its time....its already ready. I have to take 187IU at 8am. My real good friend left for Brno yesterday. I havent heard anything from her yet...I emailed her again this am...she knows im anxiously waiting to hear from her...on things like the weather and stuff. Cant wait to hear from her...she wants triplets...Im sure they will have no problems putting 3 perfect embies back. Because thats what she wants. We are pretty much already packed...the suitcase is in the middle of the floor...lol..we put things in as we buy them...so far I have 7 new outfits..I dont wear sweat pants...and I know while stimming my belly will be sore...to much to wear jeans..so we went out and brought me some cute pants...still no sweat pants tho. Some sweaters and some cute shoes too. Im gonna make a video of me taking my first shot...should be about friday or sat.
I should say that today I feel 100% better. Im not sure what I picked up..but im glad its gone!!
Until tomorrow :)

Only a few more days

Well hello there. How are things today? Things here are great as always! Its raining outside...I love to sit in the quiet and listen to the rain. My dog is sick today....he has the runs...poor baby. We are gonna take him to the vet once dh comes home from work. I cant believe that in 2 weeks exactly I will be producing mass eggs in Czech Republic. Two weeks exactly from today...thats so exciting!! Exactly one week from today Aunt Flo should be here....by next friday....than at 8am the next day I start my gonal f...I have to take it so early here in the states...so that when we go thru the time change.....I wont be taking it until 2pm...which will always be after my appt....just incase they need to increase or decrease...im not suppose to take my med before I get to the clinic. 12 days from now DH and I will be on the plane en route to Vienna. Pop pop will be here with the boys for the two weeks. Shortly after our return home dh wants to go to FL to visit his family. Thats always fun...and the weather is always warm.
I have been reading a book called "Conversations with God" its a very nice book....LOL...nice book..I could say so much more about that book....Its mind boggling...eye opening...I love to expand my knowledge as much as possible. I try not to limit myself in any area. And "Conversations with God" is definity opening my mind...While im home...waiting for school to start...I refuse to let my mind get old...so reading is what I do...lol
I just ordered a book last night from Amazon...it should be here right about the time im done with this current book...its about chakra....meditation I believe is very important...however I have never even tried to raise my chakra...Im so excited to recieve that book....
I have asked God to give me the wisdom knowledge and understanding on how to take better control of my life and my circumstances...and when you ask...he will move mountains to make sure you get your answer...one important thing is to be aware that the message is coming to you....else you may miss it......staying in total awarness with the I AM is a very important part of my day....just to look at how each rain drop splashes in the puddle that had fallen before it....and to really admire it for what it is....has given me a really fulfilling life!!
The first thing that was sent to me was "The Secret" movie form...DH and I rent movies daily...and one day we where looking for something to watch..that movie feel off the shelf!!!! I could not..not get it....my advise to anyone reading this...you must have asked for something simular as I....please get the movie "The Secret" and since then God has been sending things my way in abundance!!!!
The next book that was sent my way..no sooner as I was done with the secret (which proves to me...that these things are SENT to me) is called "A New Earth" and wow!! God never disappoints with the information he sends me. That book was earth moving!!! So much so...Oprah is offering a free online class about that book...you know I have my seat reserved....Well I could go on and on about the way my life has changed since I learned the SECRET to the universe..and I will in blogs to come.

Another day

Well hello there! Im so glad im healthy and happy today. Even when we feel like ugggh...always remember there is someone out there doing worst off than you.
One more birth control pill down. Just 6 more days now. Last night I got to listen in on a IVF siminar. It was pretty cool. A MD was on the line give his opinions on why IVF fail...what I learned was the difference between 3 day and 5 day transfer is....by day 3...if you have plenty of eggs...and they cant pick the best out of those several eggs...they will let them grow till day 5..if you have few eggs...or if by day 3 you have a few eggs that are "taking the lead" they will place them on day 3. I also learned about how to take care of yourself during stimming. No exercise and stuff like that........Im glad I listened in...I love to learn.
My belly has been upset the last couple of days...im wondering if I picked something up....the thought that crossed my mind is....am I pregnant? Cant be......could I?? That would be all to funny!! Get all the way to Europe to say ummmm....Mam your already pregnant....could you imagine...lol
Well....until tomorrow
hugs!

IVF Diary

Well hello there! And how are you today? Things here are great! Im totally aware of the NOW of today. Including today...I have 7 more bcps left. Once im done with them...AF should arrive about 4 days later...I can then start stemming with my gonal f. Still no spotting.
The house is totally quiet today....hasnt been so since Friday. I will be able to get some really good reading in today. Still cigg free! Gets easier every day.
I got in touch with my IVF coordinator yesterday about hyperovulation. She helped to put my mind completely at ease. Im so thankful for her! She is also ttc. I pray that it happens for her soon. I have alot of friends in the same ttc boat...I sincerly pray that everyone of them gets there deepest desire!
TTC puts lots of stress on the body and relationships. But to understand how the world works can change all of that. Im so glad we found out about the secret to life. Its thru the law of attraction. And its just as guranteed as the law of gravity. Thats so inspiring! I pray that the law gets out to everyone who is seeking the truth! "A New World" shows you how to live above it all. How to escape those bad conditioned thoughts. You can change your thoughts by being aware of your thought!!! That was also a great book!! I cant wait for Oprah to start the online class. I have booked my seat :)

Hope you have a great day!!!!

My first IVF blog

Well hello there~
This is my first blog. I currently keep a journal...but I figured since im online everyday...why not keep a blog of the upcoming month.
History
In two weeks DH and I are going to Europe (Brno) for IVF. I am so excited! This is the closes we have ever been to pregnant. I have one son already from a prior marriage he is 10....since then I have been diagnosed with endometriosis....painful periods. Thanks to my endo...my tubes are unusable. If I where to get pregnant...it would probably end up in my tubes....that scared me...so we decided to go straight to IVF...my OBGYN refuses to do anything else to my tubes except remove them.
We picked Europe because my god-daughters mother went to Brno and came back with twins in her belly...she spoke great things about the clinic...and since insurance will not cover IVF..we have to pay out of pocket....Europe is one-third the price.
So here we are...I have 7 days of bcp's left....on the bcp's I have not had any spotting. DH and I are also doing acupuncture...I love it...him...not so much...lol...my protocol involves gonal f injections to stimulate my ovaries...pregnyl, olgertan, and then the hormones....and we plan on putting 2 back.
My ds is excited to finally have siblings...I have adopted my nephew...he is 12...I love being able to raise them together....my nephew is my brothers son...my brother passed away in a car accident 4/1/02
I am currently a NC paramedic....I just quit my job....but still hold my certification...I have decided that I want to go futher in my life...so school starts in May....im leaning towards the psyc field...I love the human mind..from now till then...I plan on doing much of nothing except
some soul searching....I have so far read two wonderful books...."The Secret" and "A New Earth" both made me feel wonderful inside.

~~Anyway...today we have nothing big planned....just some reading for me...maby go to the park alittle later just to get out of the house.....
Until tomorrow
