The last week has been pretty emotional for me for a number of reasons. One I’m on a high dosage of estrogen, so I have been very weepy and I contribute a lot of it to that – let’s just go with that, it makes it sound better 😉. Another reason is Jayson and I…
Unless you have traveled the road of infertility you don’t truly know what kind of toll it takes on couples. It’s emotionally, physically, and financially draining and we all know that when you combine those three things, it can be extremely trying on a marriage. I read a lot of blogs and am part of…
Jayson and I went to Wichita on Monday for our doctor’s appointment. We had some lab work completed, went over paperwork that we had to sign, and then discussed our schedule for moving forward. We were originally hoping that things would all happen in August, however due to the timing after we selected our donor,…
Jayson and I have secured our donor!! We selected our donor on Monday, July 17th and it seemed like the longest week ever! By Friday, July 21st, we still hadn’t heard anything so I called the egg bank to see what the status was. Come to find out they were waiting on my clinic in…

As Jayson and I get closer to starting the Donor Egg process, I felt it was extremely important to dedicate a blog post to all of you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Those two words simply don’t do justice for how Jayson and I feel about all of the amazing people who have…
Jayson and I had a counseling appointment earlier this week for our donor egg process. The session was intense and it seemed like we covered so much in such a short time. Our clinic requires the counseling before we are able to move forward with the egg donor process. They are affiliated with a counselor…
I apologize for it being so long since my last post. This summer is so extremely busy with work and wonderful events for our family and friends. Jayson and I also recently met with our doctors in Wichita to go over the game plan for donor eggs as well as to get some additional information…
