Big Days Coming Up!

Well, it's Labor Day weekend and it has been quite an eventful weekend as far as our IVF schedule is concerned. Yesterday morning we were up bright and early to head to our 9:30 appointment in Iowa City. Things couldn't have gone better! They estimated that I would need two ultrasounds prior to the retrieval but judging by this first one, I am just about ready to go so they have scheduled the retrieval for this coming Wednesday, with the implantation then to follow on either Saturday or Monday. That is like one week away!! Then I will have a pregnancy test on either Thursday the 24th or Saturday the 26th of September, depending on which day they do the implantation. I can't believe we have come to this point. I'm excited but also super nervous. This whole thing is just so stressful. Some days I feel so positive and then other days all I can think about is how hard it will be if it doesn't work the first time around. I know we will try it again if it doesn't work but then you ask yourself how many times you're willing to try? I'm not ready to go there yet so we'll just hope for the best during the coming weeks! :)
