When I was little I used to know of people and maybe even myself, who referred to people as 'test tube babies'. This wasn't meant to be a good thing. Now as we are on this journey and the end result may be invitro fertilization I keep thinking about that comment and how I wish I could go back to those days and slap younger me and the younger version of those kids! If you really think about it, a test tube baby is ultimately the purest kind of love. Two people who wanted to create a life naturally, but their bodies wouldn't cooperate, so they sought the help of a little science and a test tube to begin a life.
No this isn't the next chapter in our infertility journey, but I see it in the not to distant future. What we are going to do is- try a new medication to induce ovulation, add metformin to my list of pills, start a low carb diet and possibly a little jogging (don't make me tell you my times- I can't promise this will happen anytime soon), get a monthly follicle scan, and a quick injection of HCG to force the mature follicle to ovulate at an appropriate time.
We try this for three ovulatory months and then if that doesn't work, then we travel to Austin for a consultation with a specialist. Then it is BIG decision time! So that's it. the next step. pray for us. pray for me. pray for nick. we need lots of prayer.
