First appontment....

 

So it's been 2 days since I had my first appointment with the IVF specialist. It's just taken me a couple of days to get my head around it all. My doctor was amazing and really nice. he reminded me so much of my GP. He took me through all the steps in which I would have to take to have a baby. He asked me loads of questions... if my menstral cycle is regular, the tests I will have to undergo to look at my fertility and what i'll have to do for the donor program.  He then gave me a whole lot of appointments to make and sent me downstairs to get a bloodtest.

 

 

I got in the car and began cry. This is really going to happen. I will someday really have my own baby. These were  tears of excitment and joy. I knew I was making the right decision. Now to do everything right to make this happen.

 

So this is what is happening tomorrow... Just a little nervous on what to expect.

 

Wish me luck....

The green light...

Yesterday I had my appointment with my GP. Walking into the consultation room, I was really nervous.  I had this horrible thought that he was going to turn around and insist that this was not a great descision and I had no hope of being a mother. It's amazing how your mind can take you into this whole other world and scare the shit out of you, before you even know the possibilities.

So my GP sat me down. We discussed why I wanted this, my concerns, what I would be getting myself into and if it's something I really wanted to do on my own..... It was really nice talking to him about it all. It made me realise how much I actually really want this and even though it's going to be hard, difficult  and tiring, I think I can really do this and am mentally prepared for it... We spoke about the choices I would like to take with options of my fertility, donors, private health cover etc. These were all very important aspects of what I needed to prepare myself for. Overall I got the green light from the doc... Now to prepare myself for the steps ahead...
