Day 26: Informed Conset

We had our "Informed Consent" meeting with the Dr. on Friday morning. The purpose of the meeting was to sit down with the Dr. and ensure that we're all on the same page and understand the risks prior to entering the stimulation phase of the IVF cycle. I think the meeting is really designed to talk some sense into patients who might want to be the next John & Kate + 8.

Given the fact that we're entering this process very sensibly, the meeting went smoothly and there were no surprises or concerns on either side. Our absolute top priority in this process is a healthy baby and we will be working with the Dr. to maximize our chances for this single goal. We don't know what the next few weeks will entail and how my body will respond to the treatment, but the best case scenario would involve a single, good quality embryo transferred on Day 5.

Birth control is behind us and we just have 3 more days of suppression...we're getting close!
