Today, I am officially one (or two) steps closer to having a family, depending on how you look at it! I finally worked up the nerve to contact the adoption line in my province, and my message and information has been passed along to a social worker in my county. That way, I am in line for the adoption process. It will take up to 10 business days for the SW to contact me, and then hopefully I will have some answers in that respect.
I also contacted Dr Sahakian from Pacific Fertility Centre Los Angeles regarding In-Vitro Fertilization and information regarding my treatments. He asked about the description of my condition, and when I plan to have children. He gave me some conflicting information, stating that the hormones my current gyno put me on aren't necessary, so I ended up calling her in the city and leaving a message with one of her nurses so she can call me back and shed some light on the situation. I am really confused as to whether I should be taking these pills now or not, which I've been taking pretty much religiously for the last 2 years. They are minor hormone supplements, and I can't wait to hear back from her about the hormones and more information about IVF here in NS. I also can't wait to clear things up, and maybe not have to take my hormones anymore, since they aren't doing anything for me. Dr Sahakian was a great help and I look forward to keeping in touch with him as well, as he is an RE. Time will tell!
All in all, I feel like none of this is real. Here I am, this morning a nervous wreck, and then I finally pulled myself together and within a couple hours had all my phone calls made and started to tip-toe in the right direction. Thanks for reading!
And don't forget about our IVF fund, every little bit helps! http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ivf-support-fund-for-our-infertility
