It's official!

so it's now official....we are doing IVF!

We found out yesterday after getting some not great test results back that IVF is the path we will have to take

I am still trying to process it all, I think over the past few months I have tried to prepare myself but I will say honestly that deep down I never thought we would need IVF

It is all very overwhelming and somewhat confusing

The first thing I had to do yesterday was register with the IVF clinic, we are going through Melbourne IVF.
Now we need to complete our police checks (still very angry about this!) and our child protection order checks to make sure we don't have any child protection orders against us.
I was up until midnight last night filling in all the paperwork and am going to send it all off today. The checks should take about two weeks to come back.

Than on July 2nd we have an appointment to see the counsellor (a counselling session is needed by law before be can begin) and an appointment with the nurse to go through the plan and an appointment with the accounts department (not looking forward to that, IVF is extremely expensive....think $7,000+).

Once all these appointments are done we have to wait for my cycle to start and than we start our IVF treatment, which will take about 6-7 weeks!

It's not a quick, fun or cheap process to go through at all......but it is what it is, and lets just hope that we can get pregnant on the first cycle because in all honesty we only have one shot at this, we just don't have the money for more than one go
