I'm so sorry ----
Thanks to my friend Stacey - she reminded me that I have not written in weeks. The past couple of weeks have been fairly uneventful on the fertility front.
I have the final draft of the dear birthmother letter from the PR lady---- after reading through it there are a few final changes Will and I wanted to make. Hopefully I will be able to post it this week. Our next step is for each of us to answer the 40 questions each that are required as part of the adoption process. We have decided that we are going to bullet point the answers and Carroll Anne, the PR lady, is going to write them up into beautiful responses!
This week we are staring our third IUI treatment - I keep thinking to myself maybe third time is a charm! Shots and daily doctor appointments began today, the actual insemination should be sometime the week of 8/8. This means I will probably find out whether or not it took right around my birthday - 8/25......... I am not expecting much out of this - the only reason we are really doing it is because my insurance fully covers it.
Not to get too graphic but my first "cycle" since surgery began.... I haven't had to break down and take any vicodin yet or miss any work so I guess it is a little better, however, it is still awfully painful.
My first appointment with the Colorado IVF clinic is this Thursday at 9:30am - this is done over the phone with the potential doctor who will do the procedure. I am very excited about this.....
So I will keep writing this week - sorry there is not more here - just a little crampy!!!
