IVF and kids in the school holidays !!??

by on Jul.23, 2010, under IVf

Hello again it is Max again! You know I set this blog up for Liz and she was so keen to use it but as yet she has hardly posted :( maybe she needs some encouragement from anyone reading :) I think she wants to wait until we get to know what we are talking about after our group meeting. As I have said before we know a lot about our best local clinics and costs involved but other than the general basics. Take egg mix with sperm, grow baby, implant baby, hope it develops etc etc we are a bit lacking in knowledge. We both read up quite a bit on the Internet but at the moment we don’t know exactly what treatment we are going to be given. We think I am ok so it is just a question of the drugs/treatments Liz might need. As I have said before she has already been through so much on this quest. We have both been longing for a baby for many years now :(

I think I am posting more now as this is such a relief that we are finally here on the IVF journey after so long saving towards it. Plus I am a techno nerd and pretty impressed with myself for setting the website and forum up. No one seems to want to use the forum and that is to be expected at such an early stage. I am hoping as our journey progresses others might stumble across it who don’t have my nerdy skills and can use it as well. We can see how that goes though but technology is what keeps my mind off the IVF and baby drive for a little while anyway.

Anyway back to my initial reason for posting :) our boys finish school for 7 weeks today! It is the summer holidays in the UK and they are so excited. Only problem for us is that our treatment might well start while they are off and we haven’t told them about out IVF or anything. It’s going to be tough thinking of reasons to leave them with family while we go to the clinic :) our family don’t know either so they might suspicious something is up when we are always asking them to watch over the kids. I guess we can figure that one out as and when it happens. On top of that Liz has transferred to another store for her company so she has the stress of that to deal with and I am always working away fixing up nerdy things :) I am working away all next week but luckily Liz and the kids get to come along for the ride. They are staying in a nice hotel by the seaside enjoying themselves while I go off to work.

If anyone has any good reference sites for any IVF please post in here or drop into our twitter feed. Thanks to those that already have :)

Well I guess I better get the crash helmet on for these excited kids due home from school any time soon. Pray for me! liz isn’t home for 4 hours yet :(
