When Dave and I finally decided to go forward with IVF we were thinking that we would not tell anyone. We were not even going to tell our parents. We had two reasons for that decision. 1. If it did not work, we didn't want to have to explain it to everyone. 2. We wanted the surprised of telling everyone if it did!
After thinking about it though we realized that we don't need to go through this alone. We have such a great group of family and friends that can be there for us, it is silly not to lean on them through such a stressful experience. So once we decided to tell people we thought that we should do a blog. That way everyone who wants to can keep up with us and the process. It will make it a little easier to keep everyone up to date on what is happening. We are going to be asking for help, support, and prayers through this whole thing!
Another reason why we wanted to do our blog is because fertility issues effect SO many people. I know that I had no idea what to expect going in for the consultation for IVF. I was so overwhelmed when we left that I cried the rest of the night. I am still feeling very confused and overwhelmed about what is to come. I am hoping that by sharing what we go through, maybe another person who is thinking about doing IVF will have a better understanding of it and not feel as overwhelmed as I did/am.
