Only He Knows

We are back from a fantastic vacation full of resting, reading, eating and just enjoying God's fantastic creations. It did my soul good!

We came crashing back to reality with a doctor's appointment last Friday. I was terrified going into the appointment because I didn't know what to expect. However, once Dr. B came to get us and walk us back to his office I had a sense of peace. Thank you all for the prayers!

Our meeting went well. We were told that everything on paper shows we should be pregnant. Dr. B had no explanation for us and apologized for it. We know that it is beyond his control (and ours) and that only God knows why we continue to defy science. We were strongly encouraged to try IVF again. In fact, Dr. B assured us his job was to tell us when it was time to stop. That was a relief to hear but was frustrating as well. We will indeed try again but will not be doing so until after the new year for financial reasons. That stinks but we celebrate in the fact that we learned from this last cycle and can make adjustments in the next.

We also made the decision not to go make on the pill (so technically we could get pregnant before the next IVF round which truly would be a miracle!!) We will be cycling on Provera and trying a new drug regimen that could potentially help with my Polycystic Ovaries (I have a mild case of PCOS so we are not sure if the drugs will help). I will have some lab work done in October to see if the drugs are helping and we will meet again with Dr. B in December to make our next plan. Until then it is all in God's hands so we are leaving it up to Him.

Thank you all for the continued prayers. We could not have made it this far without them. Please continue to pray for us. Specifically, that the new drugs will help with the PCOS and that we take comfort in following God's plan for us.

Day by day

This is how we are taking life lately. We appreciate so much the numerous cards, emails, and prayers that have been sent on our behalf. We are humbled to have so many people who care so deeply about us.

I just wanted to let you know that we are leaving tomorrow for our long awaited trip to Cabo. The one nice thing about not being pregnant yet is that I can enjoy the all-inclusive environment and activities.

We also would like you to know that we are meeting with our doctor again next Friday at 11:30. Please pray for us as we enter this meeting. I'm terrified of what options we have left and would covet prayers for my peace of mind. We will update you again after that meeting.

Again, thank you all for your support and prayers. We serve an awesome God who has surrounded us with fantastic people. Blessings to you all.
