Today we met with the wonderful nurses and doctor at the SHER Institute.  We have met with them in the past couple months and it is finally time to start the IVF process.  Blood work and urine samples for both Joe and I and (yet another) ultrasound.  We recieved our schedule from our nurse, Amy, and begin the meds tomorrow.  Joe and I have been so through very much in our 10 years together, including miscarriages, etopic pregnancies, etc.  IVF treatments have come so far since we tried approximately 10 years ago.  The SHER Institute is absolutely wonderful and so knowledgeable.  (http://www.haveababy.com/)  There is no guarantee that the proceeddure will work but we are very hopeful.  We are ready to try up to three times, fully aware that if it does not work for us that there is a baby out there that may not be growing inside me but in our hearts.
My goal with this blog (I've never done one before...) is to further document the process, emotions, joy and possibly pain of our journey.  Maybe it will give others hope and keep family/friends updated.  Please feel free to comment and add questions, send prayers, love, and your stories.  Love to all!!
