First Appointment

Today I had my first appointment with the clinic. Everything went very well. My ovaries were quiet, no cysts so we received the approval to move ahead with the IVF. They went over what meds I take when and gave instructions on how to do the injections. I will begin taking the injections tomorrow night.

The clinic has a wellness spa upstairs. I made an appointment with the acupuncturist before seeing the doctor. I loved my acupuncturist. She has been practicing for over 20 years and 13 of those were in China. She gave me some tips, no spicy foods, heating pad on low heat before bed until egg retrieval, eat more non acidic fruits, plenty of rest. The spa was very nice, you feel relaxed the minute you walk in. Drew waited for me in the relaxation room and feel asleep in front of the fireplace. The sheets on the acu table were the softest I have ever felt. Everything felt perfect.

The clinic was equally as comfortable. From the fireplace to the comfy chairs to the books on positive thinking, everything is just right. Every staff person we encountered was friendly and helpful. Everyone seemed to enjoy what they do and they all have positive attitudes. I couldn't have asked for a better clinic. I really feel we were led here for a reason.

A side note, we have visited the beach twice. The first time at Sandy Hook I encountered a baby doll shoe on the beach. On the second beach trip to Asbury Park the only thing out of place on the beach was a baby teether. I believe our child is leaving us messages. Faith and hope, they feel wonderful.

  1. wow what a nice place sounds like they not only care about you and make a nice play for the guys to rest also. I hope the signs are true and without hope there is nothing life would have no meaning at all. I know your going to have ruff days and that is why they want you to relax while you can. Love you both keep following the leads
