Well, today is the big day. Today we are going to Kansas City to have our 16 week appointment and hopefully (if the little ones cooperate) find out the gender. It's hard to believe we have come so far. Yesterday we were cleaning up around the house and I was going through my IVF stuff. I have so many mixed feelings when going through all of this stuff. On one hand I want to throw it all away and never think about those times again, but there is a part of me that is still too afraid to believe that this has actually worked and I won't ever need to travel this road again. Just thinking of all the things I put myself through these past 3 1/2 years to get where we are today, it is hard for me to imagine how other people seem to just get pregnant so easily. I had 7 sharps containers full of needles that I used to inject myself with medications over 9 IVF cycles. I decided I needed to count them and so the grand total was 455+ shots (not counting 1 sharps container that I already got rid of). So let's see, that puts the tally at 3 1/2 years of trying, 1 ectopic, 3 IVF doctors, 3 surgeries, 9 IVF cycles, 455+ injections, one bout of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, one wonderful surrogate, and tens of thousands of dollars spent....and now our precious twins....I wouldn't change a thing.
