Getting excited just not TOO excited

Another consultation with FD. She has decided not to aspirate the cyst at this time. She feels that we should move forward with conception and I couldn't agree more. She was, however, quick to explain the complications for ignoring the cyst now since the fertility drugs will increase the functionality and size of my ovaries. I'm sure she's being careful. But to me, I have had cysts rupture in the past. While the pain is nearly intolerable, it's not anything to give worry about.

This is the plan over the next couple of months

• Start my period sometime around end of January or early February
• Day 2 - 3 start Birth Control (this will prevent follicles from forming too soon) - take for up to 2 weeks
• Stop Birth Control, Start Injections - the injections will induce Super Ovulation making as many eggs as possible. The doctor believes that because of my endometriosis we will get maybe 4 - 5 eggs {fingers-crossed}
• Take IVF Class at the Clinic with the IVF Coordinator
• Removal of eggs
• Implantation

I can't believe we are already here. I am excited for what might happen, but there is a small or small-medium part of me that doesn't want to get too excited. The FD said that once my cycle starts it can be 34 - 40 days to implantation. So much planning.

We have also decided to submit papers for Adoption. This has been a difficult decision because I don't want to feel like we are "giving up" on having our own. But, whatever way possible we will have a family. We have all the paperwork completed, I just haven't submitted it. Luckily about 2 weeks ago, I received this email at work indicating that my employer is offering Adoption Benefits up to $5000. Kind of nice. I think we will get that paperwork ready to go in the next few months.
