This month’s schedule…

26 08 2008

So yesterday started a new cycle. It came exactly 4 days after my last prometrium which is exactly when it should so I am very thankful for that! My schedule for this month is:

  • August 29-day 5 clomid
  • August 30-day 6 clomid
  • August 31-day 7 clomid
  • September 1-day 8 clomid
  • September 2-day 9 clomid
  • September 5-follicle study & trigger shot
  • September 6-IUI #3 if apt on 5th goes well
  • September 9-start progesterone supplements
  • September 20-27 vacation
  • September 21-day 28 (hopefully + test day)

I am feeling ok right now. Something hit me really hard last night and I really learned a lot from last cycle and know that the Lord is still in control. You can go through a million fertility treatments and think they just have to be fool proof but really there is no guarantee in medicine. The Lord is the only one that knows the exact moment when everything should and will work out. I am trusting that He will answer our prayers. I am really hoping that this month is it! It is so draining and I would love to be able to get almost half my pregnancy through this year fully paid!

Well hope all is going well with everyone! Feel free to leave comments on here! :)

Not the post I wanted to write…

22 08 2008

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Things are pretty gloomy right now. The IUI was a bust. I am pretty discouraged about the whole thing. I feel like this whole situation is a total let down every month for me and the people praying for me. I know that God has a greater plan in store for us but sometimes it is so hard to be patient and wait for that plan to unfold. I just don’t get how God decides to give people who don’t want kids them and then the people who so desperately want them can’t seem to conceive them. I know that it’s not my place to know this and know that He has gotten me through bad things in the past. Please keep the prayers coming that we conceive this next time. I really wanted to be past the point where I miscarried by the time my due date comes around and this is the last month for that to happen in order for me to be past 12 weeks by December 24. Well that’s about all for now. I will be doing this whole process over again and am just waiting for my period to come. I was on progesterone up untill last night so usually it takes a few days after that for your cycle to start again.  We go on vacation September 20th so most likely I wont know much before then.

20 weeks; 2 months; 2 doctor appointments..

6 08 2008

Yesterday I had my follicle study. They found 1 great size one. That is such a relief to even find anything that I will definitely take just 1! They are putting me on Prometrium (progesterone supplements) and if all goes as planned and I do get pregnant then I will be on this for the next 9 weeks.  They gave me the trigger shot and sent me on my way.

Today I went in for the IUI. Everything went perfect and I was at work by 9:30am. Now I am in that dreaded 2 week wait!

On another short note today marks 2 things with the last pregnancy. One is I would have been 20 weeks today. The other is that it has been 2 months (June 6) since my D&C. I thought today would be a ton harder but with the IUI I have no time to be upset and need to stick with optimistic, hopeful, and excited!

Thanks for all the prayers and continued prayers! We know they are being heard and that is why everything has gone so well!

Timing….

5 08 2008

Timing seems like something that can never be planned in life. There are so many things that have happened lately that it just seems like timing isnt so good. Well everyday I get a daily devotion in my email box. So many times the timing of these are perfect and todays was not different! The verse in it was:

 “The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express” (Romans 8:26).

That was the exact thing that I really needed to hear right now. I go in today for my ultrasound/follicle study. This will determine basically how many eggs I have and the size of them and if and when they will be able to do the IUI this month. I dont really feel like the timing is right this time. I am unsure of so much and if I even took the clomid at the right time. I have a feeling that the timing just isnt right this month for everything. I have a feeling that I missed ovulation and that I am completely out this month. So today more than ever I need a peace that God’s timing is the only timing I should live by. I know that He is working and I know that He has a great plan for me and for when our family will begin! I know that I need to get that in my head and stop worrying about the unknowns but it is just so hard! Today I am working on being optimistic. Today I am going into this appointment with an open mind and know that there is a great plan in store.
