After receiving the positive news about our chromosome analysis, I contacted Dr. Silber's office to inquire about the schedule of IVF procedures. The first date available is April 29th. After that, Silber is booked until June. Considering that my last IVF was in December, that seems like a very long time to wait!
With some coaxing and cojoling, I was able to tentatively reserve the April 29th target date. If we're going to proceed with IVF, the sooner the better. My eggs are aging and decreasing in quality with every passing month. And, if we are not led the direction of IVF, I can always cancel the target date.
There are several important aspects that must come together in order for us to proceed with the assisted reproductive technology...not the least of which is financial. Not only is IVF extremely expensive, but it is also physically and emotionally taxing. Wade and I must be completely committed to the process if we are to proceed.
It is my heart's desire to go forward with IVF, but that doesn't mean that it is God's desire for us. Please pray that we will have the wisdom and understanding to know His will and the strength to follow His guidance.
Thank you for your support and encouragement as we journey through infertility. It is a long and difficult road. We couldn't do it alone!
Blessings, Ramona
