The Ingram’s – Our saying has always been when it’s right it’s right and when you know, you know. And we knew we were meant to spend a lifetime together immediately. We live on the TN river in Rogersville, AL, and are true to the core “river rats”. We absolutely love spending every minute possible in and on the water with friends and family, and we are very blessed that our families live close to us. We enjoy anything outdoors- wakeboarding, surfing, skiing, fishing, hunting, and traveling. But we also both share the same dream to have a family. I remember when we were doing our pre-martial counseling with our preacher that he asked us how many kids we wanted to have and we said 4. And yes we would still love a house full, and we still have hopes for 4. But it appears that we will be very blessed if we are able to have just one. So far we have experienced a very emotional and physical journey trying to see our dream of having children come true. But this is our story-The Ingram’s River Ride, and we wanted to have a way so that all of our friends and family from near and far could have a way to keep up with what was going on with our baby journey. So sit back and enjoy our “river ride”. I want to be sure and say first of all that if it wasn’t for the following I wouldn’t have made it through all of this # 1 God and the faith and hope he provides # 2 Jason– he is my rock- the love and care he gives me is so amazing to me and # 3 The love and support from SO MANY who we are blessed to call our friends and family from near and far. We are RICHLY blessed to have so many people who care about us and pray for us and please know that we are so grateful for each and every one of you. I have tried to go back and capture everything that has happened in the last year so I am sure I will forget some things. And I might as well apologize ahead of time if the blog seems as though a 4th grader is submitting the posts because I have a hard time putting my thoughts on paper and that along with my “kuntry lingo” should be interesting. :)




Cancelled IVF but still have hope for IUI - Monday, April 26, 2010

We traveled to B'ham early Saturday morning and the doctors still said that the chance of me being able to do invitro this cycle didnt look good. But that they wanted me to keep taking the stimulation shots to try and get those follicles to grow. Only one was big enough to be classified as mature. They wont let you do ivf unless you have at least 4, and in my case due to poor egg quality they said they would be really hesitant even if I ended up with 4 to proceed. But there is a risky fine line that you walk b/c you cant keep trying to make the smaller ones grow to the point that the one large one ruptures. So the plan was to continue with the stim shots until Monday and come back to the doctor and see what happened.
Monday morning we went back to the doctor and it is a definite no go with invitro - I just didnt produce enough follicles. So to keep from wasting the meds and shots we will be doing an iui (artificial insemination) this Wednesday. Maybe this will be our blessing in disguise and the iui will be a success! Either way God is still in control and we are trusting Him. So please be praying for us for this Wednesday - hopefully it will yield a positive result.
