Protocol
Yesterday we had our first consulation with the consultant and we discussed proceedings and were given our ivf protocol. She is going to be on a short protocol. It was exciting and makes it feel very real. After 2 years of dreaming about our family and trying for a year in 2013, we are finally getting there :) The only thing slightly dudusjshwur was that she is CMV negative which means it will be a bit harder to match us with donor sperm but we will be waiting around 3 months on average for a egg recipient match so hopefully it will all come together.
By new year I hope this is all

Green light
We had a lovely weekend after spending the past couple of weeks working long and different schedules. Friday night we went to the cinema and had our first Pumpkin Spice latte of the year. Then Saturday we met a couple of friends and their 6 month old daughter for breakfast and then we went for lunch with my sister at a lovely garden centre that do amazing cakes etc too. and we looked round the antique centre in the village. Today we chilled out and went for a coffee and a walk around a local museum and park. Autumn is definitely in the horizon and it is our favourite season.
On Saturday we got home to a letter on the doorstep which was from the fertility clinic telling us that my wife has been accepted for egg sharing IVF. We have an appointment with the consultant in 10 days time to discuss things in more depth etc and are just waiting for a recipient match now, which will hopefully only take a couple of months. It is very exciting knowing that all we are waiting for now is a match and then we will be starting IVF. Waiting times can be days to months depending on how many other donors they have with the same chacteristics etc. We were told they have more donors than recipients at present due to a recruitment drive but we are hoping that as recipients also know they have no waiting list that more women needing donor eggs will be going through the doors. We are just hoping that by new year we are starting, as that will be something to celebrate and a good way to start a new year.
My wife is also still going with her weight loss and now is only 5lbs away from her first target of getting her BMI to 29. Considering she started with a BMI of 36, she is is doing amazing and I am so proud of her. She is always beautiful to me but it is nice knowing we are going into this in the best possible shape. I am sure she will probably even get it down to 25 by the time we start. She is awesome.
So hopefully 2015 will be our year finally x
