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
