Tomorrow it starts....

 Today is the last day before I start my stimulation meds. Once they start, I have a feeling everything will start to go quick as I will have ultrasounds and blood draws frequently. I am excited, but am just going to take it one day at a time - it seems to work best that way. To get all of my medications, they give us a list of pharmacies and we do our own price comparison. I actually found a pharmacy in MN - Fairview specialty pharmacy in MPLS that specializes in fertility medications and they were awesome to work with. Not to mention, they were the cheapest! I finally got all of my medications in three different shipments. The total, a meer $3,000 and that is if no refills are needed  :)

When I open the first package Brian goes "holy crap, that is all for you?" I told him it would be intense, but it will be worth it in end. I will start with just once injection twice a day for the first three days, then it changes to two to three injections twice a day - not too bad, but I am lucky I am a nurse. I can see how it would get very confusing to those not in the medical field.

 I was watching The Little Couple show on TLC the other day. It is such a cute show about these to "midgets" and their day to day life. This couple has also been trying to conceive a child and because of her stature they are using a surrogate. I have not followed too closely, but I know she had trouble stimulating and they finally have two embryos. However, what I thought was most touching was they did a question and answer from the audience. One of the questions was "if you could, would you choose to stay little or be average height." Their answer was they would not change a thing because then they would probably not have found each other. Tears started coming to my eyes...this couple has so many struggles in their day to day life, but they are so happy in love. I feel the same way about Brian. If I can't have a child, I wouldn't change a thing because I am so in love with Brian and I know he is incredibly in love with me! We are certainly lucky and blessed!
