Just Around the Corner...

Most of you know already that I have colitis.

I was first diagnosed with it my junior year in high school. For at least the past 10 years, it has been under control and I haven't had any physical problems with it. Unfortunately, my gastrointerologist thinks that my colitis might be the reason we are having such a hard time getting pregnant. So he recommended that I try a new medication to see if it will heal me completely before moving on to IVF.

So yesterday I had my first treatment with the new medicaiton. It is given intravenously....for TWO HOURS! Yes, you read that correctly. I sat at the doctors office and received the medication through an IV for two hours. I will go back again in two weeks, then in another four weeks, and than after that I will receive the medication once every eight weeks. It's not my ideal why of receiving medication, but it sure beats taking four pills three times a day AND if it helps us get pregnant, I'm all for it!

For good measure, I called our local Children's Home Society and put our name on the invitation list to attend their next Adoption Seminar...our time is JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!

I'm so sorry there was another set back before you get to try IVF again, but maybe this is the answer! Praying!
