In Vitro

During the last few months Tom and I embarked on the Journey of InVitro Fertilization. This was a terrifying, long and worthwhile experience. Although very expensive, the staff, and the other patients made the experience worth it. Through 3 different drugs, ultrasounds, and Ovaries that were the size of small melons, we got 9 embryo's from the deal. We decided that we would put two of the embryo's back into my uterus. Once that was done then it was the waiting game. 15 days of waiting. That was the longest 15 days that we have had to face in a long time. We took one day at a time, and slowly they passed by. Then On the 15th day, I went for a pregnancy blood test, I don't think I have ever been that nervous in my life. I waited by the phone all day, waiting for that phone call that would either break my heart, or jump start us into a new life.
The phone call was to happen between 1-3:30pm. My sister in law called at 2:57pm, I thought ok here we go...then I found out it was her. Than at 3:14pm the phone call came. I went and sat on my bed, the nurse asked if I was sitting down, I said yes. By now my heart was pounding so hard I thought it was going to come out of my chest. Then she said the words that we have wanted to hear for 5 years. Congratulations you are Pregnant! I could not fathom it at first.
I phone my husband right away and called him "daddy" I have wanted to do that so long.

However now the journey takes a sharp new turn, we are truly excited and yet very scared, and worried for the safety and health of our baby. But for the first time in 5 years we can say that we have a baby growing in my uterus. God did it. God is good!
