It's now July and we're ready to begin treatment at The Houston Fertility Institute. I went into HFI on the 3rd of July to find that Dr. DeSplinter would no longer be our Doctor, as she has decided to focus on Labor and Delivery. I met Dr. Gill, who would take over and be the one to transfer the embryos when the time came. Marylu would be my nurse and primary source of information for the next couple of months. After meeting with each of them, I got my first of MANY shots. I received a shot that would cause ovulation within the next few days. Marylu also ordered all of the medications I would need for the next few weeks to stimulate my eggs, increase my hormone levels, and prepare my body for pregnancy. The fertility medications were ordered from The Apothecary Pharmacy and would be delivered within a few days.
A few hours after leaving HFI, Robert and I loaded up the car to head to Knoxville, Tennessee to visit Susan and Joe Kirt. We informed them that they would soon be referred to as Aunt Susan and Uncle Joe, as we'd started the IVF process and would be expecting in a matter of a few weeks!
While in Tennessee, Susan informed us that if we have a girl, she expects us to name her "Hope" as it is her middle name. When asked "What if it is a boy?" She simply replied, "Then I guess you'll have a Hopert." We laughed about it the whole weekend!
