I think we have a decision

Unless DH's next SA comes back as perfect, I think we are going to go ahead with and IVF cycle. I can't believe I just wrote that. It feels so crazy to think about. Everything seems to just be lining up right and it feels like the universe is telling us to do it.

I read the entire book I got yesterday and am making DH read a few sections. I also talked to my mom about it. I told her that we will most likely being doing IVF soon, but that we will not be sharing details and that I don't want her telling anyone about it. My extended family is not the most sensitive and the last thing I need is their stress.

Also, I was just thinking about all these new acronyms I have using and realizing that the few people outside of the IF world that read this blog have no clue what I am talking about. So, I am going to add them to my list (on the bottom of the page). Sorry for talking in code:)

Hi Andrea,
I'm excited that you are starting IVF too. Like you I have been reading a lot of books. But I think that reading blogs of women who have been through IVF is also helpful.
I'll be following your journey and wishing you the best of luck.

Yay, Andrea! It does feel like the universe is pushing you in that direction :)

I'm glad you made your decision. I think it's always easier once you decide what course you are going to take.

Good luck! I feel like I could have written your last few posts, except that I'm just getting started with IUI, and I'm absolutely dreading the possibility of having to do IVF and especially all those needles! I'll send good thoughts your way.
