ART Screen and Mock Transfer

First of all, my IVF nurse in amazing.  She has been so helpful with all of my concerns and available for questions.  Just the finances alone can be daunting at first.  We feel strongly about not going in debt to do this so we can actually provide for the little one when they get here.  And, since we have chosen not to finance out our treatment, making sure we apply for any discount programs is crucial.

I've researched so many programs out there, but to no avail. Connie has been great to deal with and help to educate us on our options. 

 After countless days of oral medication, today was our first "big step" in our treatment.  We had our ART screen and mock transfer in order to get started.  Of course there was a little discomfort, but nothing unbearable.  Besides our nurse, we had a residency student in the room as well.  She was very kind and thanked me repeatedly for letting her come in.  I thought I would be against it when I've thought about it in the past since I'm so modest.  However, I feel like there would be better physicians out there if they had hands-on experience to start out with.  It helps that my doctor is incredible.  He has such great bedside manner and is very thorough when explaining things with a great track record.
I am so thankful that Joshua was there with me.  His involvement in the whole process is something I don't take for granted.  I am so glad I will have the opportunity to share with our little one that their daddy wanted them just as much as I did.

Now, we will wait for our results to come back in and we will discuss injections next week in our injection training class with Connie.
