Let's Get This Baby Started!

I've been here six times before. Using the pills and shots to manipulate your cycle into becoming ready to receive a precious little embryo. It's not for the faint of heart and the fact that someone I've only met once is willing to go through this entire process for us is so humbling. Katie knows how I love to document everything so she has been so great to send me pictures so I can be a part of this every step of the way. So here is a picture calendar of our last few months preparing for Baby Davis! Please be in prayer that this baby will stick in September and met us all in May 2018.

 Prescriptions and medication calendar. 

NFC gave this to us the day of medical screening. 

 Birth control pills and antibiotics started on July 20, 2017.

 Medication delivery on August 1, 2017! 

Lupron, Estogen patches and Progesterone in Oil

 Lupron shots started on August 2, 2017.

 Kids pretending to be scared of the needle! haha!!!!

 First shot completed! Didn't hurt a bit!

 First lining check and blood work on August 15, 2017. Estrodiol is 38.5 which is perfect! 

Had to be under 75. Start estrogen patches. 

 Perfect uterus and lining to get ready for our sweet child. <3

 Second lining check and blood work on August 28, 2017. 

Pineapple core is believed to help embryos implant. 

There was even a newborn who came in for a checkup that was 

wrapped in a pineapple blanket because she was an IVF baby! 

We took this as a great sign of things to come for us. 

 Sweet little girls went with their mom for blood work. 

Someone asked if Katie is ready for another one but Evelyn set her straight!

They were so good in the waiting room that they earned a donut as a treat. 

Evelyn said, "I just love blood draw day!" 

So we don't have the blood test results yet but apparently we don't need them! 

Katie's lining check was 10.4 today (had to be at least 7) 

and is triple striped which is what you want. SOOOOO, the transfer date is......

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for all your prayers throughout this process. Everything has gone like clockwork and I know it's because of the prayers of God's people and the willingness of sweet people to put themselves before others. I will praise God for this journey, even if this isn't the transfer that takes. 

I leave you with an IVF calculator that hopefully will come true soon. Beta day is September 19 but we will know before then because of hpts of course. Please pray this sweet baby sticks and stays with Katie for 9 months until he/she comes home to our family. Love you all!
