We finally set up a date to have our 350,982,374,598th WTF appointment with our RE in Charleston. We are ready to get answers and explore ALL options. Our plan is to let him know that we don't want to do the last cycle in our IVF package if there are issues with egg quality or genetic problems. I refuse to waste more money if he believes that the probability of it working with our own egg & sperm is low! This will basically be our last chance unless we win the lottery, so we want to go with what gives us the best chances of conceiving.
Of course, it's only natural that I want to experience pregnancy and give birth...so we're okay with our child not being biological if donor egg/sperm is the road we have to choose. Then we would have to look into the cost of donor to see if it is even feasible. If it is not feasible, then we are going to start begging people to see if anyone wants to get knocked up and give us their baby. Just kidding. At this point, we just want to be parents. Something has to go right one way or another!
We will also get the pathology reports from my D & C. This will tell us if our angel baby was a boy/girl and if there were any chromosomal defects. I never went to my follow-up appointment after the D&C because I just wasn't ready to hear it...especially from my Augusta doctor because he is the one who performed my D&C and I am not very fond of him at this moment. I'm probably not ready to hear it now, but it's time to get this show on the road. We need to figure out why it hasn't happened for us in all of the time we have been trying.
The weird thing about this appointment? It is exactly one year since our initial consultation at this clinic. One year since we proudly walked in and thought that IVF was going to be the answer to all of our problems. Now we've opened up a whole new can of whoop-ass. Please pray that our doctor can give us answers and renew our hope!

I will be praying for you guys!!
Praying for and thinking of you. Hope you get some answers that lead you down a path to baby...no more dissappointments or heartache.
oxoxoxoxoxoxox
I feel good karma about this appointment! The 26th is Dave's birthday!! Good luck and prayers over you. As for the gender, the paper work said my 2nd miscarriage was a girl, but a nurse said it could've been some of my own tissue. I wonder how accurate it is? Love you!

April 26th is great KARMA!! On April 26, 1983 I was conceived (it was my parent's wedding night and 9 months later I was born-Jan 26th)! Anyways, enough about my parents making love, lol!
I'm so proud of you for finally being able to go to this appointment. I completely understand that you needed some time and now it is time to get this baby show on the road!! :) I can't wait to hear all your options...I'm so excited for you, and I know something great will come out of this appointment. Please know that I'm here for you and holding your hand in spirit when they tell you if your baby was a boy or girl.
I can't wait to see you in a little over a month. I know it will be soon that I will be flying to see you for your baby shower! I love you tons, xoxoxo!
April was my 1 year anniversary with the RE too.
I think your appointment should be called the WTFFFFFFFF appointment instead...heheh
Well, I hope you find some answers. It is all so frustrating. I think you are doing the right thing!
I will be praying HARD for you and Andy in the next couple of weeks! I can't wait to hear the options. (((HUGS))) :)
We are definitely praying for you & Andy as you go to this next appointment!! You and him are both very strong people & I'm proud of you guys for making this appointment to go because I know it can't be easy. I pray that the doctor will be able to give you some kind of answers and a new hope!! We love you guys!
P.S. You know that Bear has always said he would be willing to donate his sperm...I'm just saying. Haha.
Just started following your blog! I can really relate to what you are saying. I was hopeful IVF would be the answer for us. Nope! It's a really tough spot to be in. I wish you the best in figuring out your next steps.
Come visit any time-

I am definitely praying for you & Andy as you go to this next appointment!! After one year with the same RE, you'd think you've heard it all, but be optimistic-- I know you will hear great news, and you will be on your new path to motherhood :)
Wow Jess, big day. I can't imagine how difficult it will be to finally hear the results, but it sounds like you're in a better place and waiting was probably the best thing to do.
Thoughts and prayers are headed your way. And we'll be here when and if you're ready to share the results.
Hugs.
Oh Jessica I'll be praying that you get your answers and that they come up with a good option for you. I will also be sending you lots of strength vibes because I know hearing the report will not be easy, but I know you can do it. I can't imagine ever being 100% ready to take the step you are about to take again but it sounds like you are in a better state to handle it at this point. Fingers always crossed for you!
