It's THAT time!!! Our Journey to Pregnancy

Tomorrow is the BIG day! I'm talking B-I-G.

Almost a month has passed since we began the next step in our journey to pregnancy. Today marks day 9 of taking the shots and tomorrow, well, tomorrow is the big day. I'll recap just so everyone can follow.

Bravelle is a fertility drug (follicle stimulating hormone-FSH) that is injected into the stomach at approximately the same time every night for approximately one week. The process that I have been through this week has looked like this:

Sunday-shot 1, Monday-shot 2, Tuesday-shot 3, Wednesday-ultra sound to look at the development of my eggs and shot 4, Thursday-shot 5, Friday-shots 6 &7, Saturday-shots 8 & 9, Sunday-shots 10 & 11 along with another ultra sound.

The purpose of this drug is pretty simple...mature the eggs.

The last step in this process before insemination is the HCG fertility drug that I took last night The HCG is a trigger shot that will, in so many words, give my eggs an extra push.

According to my doctor, everything looks great and tomorrow morning @ 9 am I will be having an IUI done. (you can look that up so I don't have to fully explain it on here : ) )

oh!.....I have 2 eggs that are right on track (in size) and a 3rd that is following closely behind. I'll let you think about the potential there. hehe...yes, the percentages are pretty good.

SO! ...Please pray for us around 9 am (EST).

Love you all!
