The doors have been opened for us to do IVF in January. I refuse to be stressed out about any of it this time, even though I will be doing it in San Antonio when we live in GA. The clinic there has been nothing but helpful and encouraging- the complete opposite of Arizona. It's actually been a nice change.
I knew I'd have to do more blood work (infectious disease panel has to be done every 6 months as well as my Prolactin and AMH). I wasn't counting on having to do another cavity clearance, however. Apparently, SAAMC wants it done once a year and since my last one was in January of 2013, I'm due. *sigh* I go in on Monday Nov. 18 for an SIS (saline infusion sonogram). I think it's my forth, no, maybe this will be my fifth SIS. I've had good ones and I've had very bad ones. Pray that this one will be a good one.
My Skittle baby is doing great! I'm happy to report that she's finally potty trained. During the day and partly during the night that is. She sometimes will still take a nap (usually in the car) and is going strong in gymnastics. Here are a couple recent pictures.

Hi, I found your blog through Google as I was trying to find info on IVF at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. I would enjoy emailing you for more information if you do not mind. My husband is in the AF as well and we are trying to get information about BAMC. Thank you for your time.

Angie,
I knew you had this blog with your first little one, but I hadn't realized you had started up blogging again until today! I read through 2014 and back to this IVF #4. It amazes me the transparency you have. Never feel bad for attempting another chance at having another child. That desire to have another child is not wrong - quite natural. I am coming to understand through a few friends of ours as well at your situation that the infertility scenario is/or can be quite trying. It is OK that you became fatigued at one point thinking you most likely would never attempt such a thing again - but your strength with time was renewed! Perfectly fine to change your mind! It is neat to read back over these last 4-5 months and see where God has brought you. lol, I know of many of the medications you had to take, but I have feeling you know more about infertility and the steps you take in treatment to a level that I will never learn :) You are both in my prayers! I admire both of you and the desire to have a little addition to your family - love in Christ,
Michael
