Hershey Trip

Been a while since my last post! It's been a busy few weeks!

I need to catch up a bit, so today I'll blog about our first visit with Dr. Dodson. We had our appointment on November 23rd. We're so blessed to be near Hershey Medical Center with it's renowned staff of physicians. After my family doctor recommended we see a fertility specialist I just looked up Hershey and called for an appointment. Thankfully we only needed to wait a few weeks for the appointment.

I was very excited for the first appointment. As we were driving to Hershey Med I received a call from Megan, an adoption agent with Snowflake Adoptions (through Nightlight International). She was wonderful! She answered my questions about embryo adoption. I told her we were on our way to the fertility doctor at Hershey. She said Hershey has performed several successful FET's for Snowflake families within the past few years. We talked for a bit and she gave me a few ideas of what to ask the doctor. Speaking with her was so encouraging and really made me feel excited for the possibility.

We maneuvered our way through the massive hospital and arrived at the Women's Clinic. We didn't wait very long before we were ushered into an office to meet with Dr. Dodson. He is a wonderful doctor! I loath doctors who don't listen to the patient. He did a great job listening to us, answering our questions, and then listening to us again. It was a hopeful meeting. He said he really felt like he can help us.

As we left the clinic I was on an emotional high. Parenthood has never felt closer.
