We finally found a fertility clinic in Merrillville called Chicago IVF, we made an appointment! How exciting to get all this going and to finally hopefully get pregnant! we met the doctor and he thought we were great candidates for a procedure called AI artificial insemination, we went through that twice with no success, so we had to meet with the doctors again and go over finances and insurance coverage and all to see what procedures we could do! In the mean time Justin got a new job at Comcast, The doctors said they think with my husband having testicular cancer and one testicle removed that we should now move onto a bigger procedure call IVF, man were we scared and had so many questions! So we prayed and decided to go for it, our insurance covered 90% so we were blessed and thankful for the new job and new insurance that covered that procedure!
So starting August 22, 2011 Begins our Journey to our lil miracles
These are emails from me to my family and friends through our process to our procedure.

Subject : Hello Everyone
I have a test that is going to be done on august 30th just to check my uterus and make sure there is nothing in there to hinder the embryos to attaching! I am sure this is not going to be pleasant but I will make it through it! still not on any shots yet anticipating that next step I attached a photo of all the meds, needles, syringes, sharps box, also there is four more meds that should have went in the picture but they have to stay refrigerated those are the vials ahhhh..... little scary but also exciting and the many doctor trips to keep checking on me and how my body is accepting the shots will be starting very soon, love you all and just wanted to update you!!! oh yeah and at our last doctor visit we decided to only fertilize three eggs and are praying they all three turn into healthy embryos to be implanted and take, that will all be happening sometime during the week of September 12th through the 21st! I think I told most of you this but some of you don't know that part either well I will try to keep you all posted through email as much as I can handle it and don't get stressed out! Love you all so much and thanks for the Prayers God is in control and will make this happen!
Subject: hello family!
So today was my doctors app to check the uterus out to make sure nothing was in there that would hinder the embryos to attach! it was a lil painful and i am still a little crampy from it, but everything came out clear, nothing in there. the doctor said it looks amazing and showed me a picture of my uterus which me and my mom got to see it all going down because it was on the TV screen it was cool! well my next app will be on Thursday the 1st! yep in a day crazy huh?! and that is how life is going to be for awhile,
September 1st - doctors app to get ultrasound done and blood work
September 5th - first day of my shots lil scared but i am going to be brave!
September 8th - doctors app to check how my body is reacting to all the shots since the 5th! blood work and ultrasound.
then from there it is all going to depend on my body! and I will have more appointments and ultrasounds and blood work done, then soon they will be telling me to add in other shots and medicines to prepare my body for the egg retrieval!
so i am going to just leave you with that for now and when things get updated or i know when something is going to be done other than what is stated here I will let you all know!
Please pray for me and Justin, we are getting nervous and excited, hoping this is the time God has planned for us for this to work! thank you all for all the support and love and prayers, we could not do it without all of you being here for us whether it works or we have to try again! love you all so so so much!
Love Justin and Staci! xoxoxo
Thank you so much for letting us know what’s going on honey. I’ll keep praying for this to be “the time” for you and Justin. I love you so much and you are always in my thoughts and prayers. Love Aunt Tammy
Yes, I will be praying. I can't imagine all the anxiety you both are
feeling. This is big stuff. I love you so much and feel bad that you and
Justin have to go through all this, but then God chose you both to have to
go through this for some reason we don't even know. I guess this is where
true faith comes in. You two are awesome people!
