It's Time Yikes!

We got all our test back today and learned that all the levels are scans are looking good. Tonight was called the trigger day meaning I took a shot and told my ovaries that it was time to let go and prepare for procedure number 1. This officially means we are on the clock and in 36 hours we will do the retrieval.

It is still amazing how all these details fit together so precisely. We are a mixture of nervous and excited. I am hopeful that when the surgery for retrival bappens that they will actually have items to retrieve.

Either way, in less than a day it is go time! Please pray for us as this is quite a big leap into unknown territory! Yikes!

Sticks, Pricks & Prayer

We continue our journey this week getting a little closer to our official first procedure. Still in the midst of details, we are now using that box of medications that I posted a picture of last time. 

It is kind of like a morning science project at our house, mixing up the needed and prescribed medication to encourage my insides to generate what's needed for the first procedure that we hope will happen next week.  Josh is the in-house medicine tech which is helpful for me and fun for him!

Words of encouragement and prayers continue to surround us. On Sunday evening the pastoral team we work with at LifePoint spent time praying with and for us as we began this big week. It's hard to describe but this was such a beautiful moment. I want to also say it was weird to sit in a room and be praying that our hopes for a baby become reality but it was also incredible. I suppose it is weird because it is not something I grew up imaging doing but here we are. But incredible that we can share this part of our hearts and lives with people who love us! 

We still don't know what the outcome will be, but we continue to hope and revel in the prayers and words of encouragement that so many of you have shared. 

Thank you!

If you've ever ridden a roller coaster, you know the feeling. The suspense of the track as the coaster angles a little more and you begin to climb up one rung at a time.

That is how we feel this week. On Monday, we headed back to the doctor's office for our first "official appointment" in this round of treatment. We spent time going through the giant box of prescriptions and medications we had received in the mail a few days before (a.k.a our "let's get this party started box"). 

We were given consent forms to sign as if to ask, "Are we sure we want to do this?" We talked about what will happen for the next 10 days ONLY and were told we will find out more to dos, next week – the whole process is very precise.

It feels good to be moving forward. Honestly not much has changed, physically all the current medications are helping us be healthier and on the right schedule, and be more prepared for the next steps.

The excitement and fear is still in equal balance. In the midst of this tension is so much encouragement. Daily someone joins our story --- sharing bits of encouragement in various ways. The depth of gratitude cannot be fully explained.  The words of encouragement, prayers for our process, notes of support, and unexpected stories we have discovered about friends and family are helping us walk through this process with a little more confidence. 

Someone asked today if I we created the blog for accountability. My answer was, "No. It really is to simply share our story so other people walking through a similar season (or wanting to understand our story more) will find encouragement." 

We shouldn't be afraid to share the fact that individuals and couples struggle with the topic of fertility and the hopes of having children. It is complex, emotional, and even weird. Our continued hope in sharing our story is that others walking through whatever portion of this process they are in will be encouraged to keep hoping, trusting and walking in faith with each decision, procedure, and curiosity.
