Just Saved a Few Thousand Dollars!

God is so good to us! I have been talking with the nurse out in California in preparation for starting the mock cycle at the beginning of November. She gave me the protocol of medications, blood tests, US, procedures and it is quite involved. Once I got through that, if everything looked good, then we would repeat the same process all over again, but this time with the actual transfer. Well, I began wondering if it was really necessary to do a mock. Why couldn't we just do the transfer if everything looked good the first time? Then I started researching and found that not all doctors do a mock before the actual transfer. So I called a yesterday and asked if the doctor would be willing to do an actual transfer without doing a mock. When she got back to me, she said the doctor was okay with that as long as we were okay with it! I was so excited. That saves us at least $2000-$3000 in meds and tests AND I get to skip out on 6 weeks worth of extra shots! Okay, that is a lot of exclamation points in one paragraph, but I was so excited and God continues to orchestrate things in ways I couldn't even imagine.

So we are looking at starting the protocol either in December or January. We are leaving for Mexico on December 5, so it depends on how my body responds before then. That means we are looking at the actual transfer either early January or early February. We are only planning on doing one transfer, so that will be it. We will see what happens.
