Quick Update On a Busy Week

First I would like to say that I hope many of you benefited from my last post.

I was unaware of the IVF tax deduction myself.

I also found out from my dear friend Kez, that in Australia, she would get back 20 cents on every dollar she spend on IVF back.

Look into what programs your country might have.

Okay, quick rundown.

I have been on estrogen for the past week.
I am also on Trental it increase the blood flow to my uterus.

Broke down and went to the acupuncturist even though I don't believe much in the practice.
Trying really hard to wrap my mind around it and give it a chance to help me.
I'm two session in and hope to have it done 2x a week until the transfer.

My first ultrasound lining check showed that my lining was right were it should be at this time.
The nurses cheered me on,
I was happy for a few hours, but began to worry again.

"what if it just plateaus and starts going thin again?"

I started Viagra suppositories this week.
Thought they would be just like the nasty progesterone ones.
UGHH, they are messier and irritate a bit!
I have to wear a pad to prevent leakage, not just a liner.
No big deal once you get past that part.
And no.. they don't make you a HORNY housewife!
I am also using a technique another girlfriend told me about.
Orgasms to increase blood flow to the uterus and help the lining.
Okay the Viagra does allow me to have marathon sessions with that method.

Had sessions with the psych and therapist. I seem to be doing pretty good despite all the stressful situations.

Finally, my mother in law will be having her stomach removed on Monday.
She has a serious form of stomach cancer and this will extend her life.
Mentally preparing myself so I can be strong for my husband and his brother.
They have never dealt with anything like this, and unfortunately I am too familiar with dealing with sicks parents.

Please keep us in your prayers.
