AF showed today so I called in my cycle to Dr. B at ORM and they told me that NEXT cycle (which will be at the end of August given my history) they will call in my RX for B/C and start planning and lining up my bloodwork and other pre-IVF testing.
Brian and I are getting so excited!!!!
I am praying that the Lord prepares my body, and has His hands deep in the creating of these new lives. I cannot wait for the miracles to come!!!
Lord, thank you for the science available to us. I am so thankful that there are options for women like me. Thank you for allowing Brian and I the chance to be fruitful. I ask that you would bless our family. I praise you in advance for all that is to come. I know you are good and I trust it all into your hands completely.
I will do everything I can to honor YOU through this amazing process. Please use Brian and I at our clinic. I pray we would be lights to the doctors and nurses. That YOUR glory would be known. You are so good.
Amen.
This blog is a dedication and celebration of the beautiful gift of life God has blessed a once "barren" woman. A place to share my life experiences as a mother, wife, friend and child of God. A place to vent my struggles with infertility and trying to conceive. And a place to share the amazing things God is doing in my life everyday!

Contentment and anticipation
These last few weeks I feel especially blessed to be Ronan's mom. He is so interactive lately. He loves finding airplane's in the sky, says "bwuds" in his soft high voice as he points to the birds flying above. He can repeat just about anything I say, and loves to do so. Each night before he goes to bed we have a brief dance party. I have this little disco colored light thing in his room that flashes colors all over the walls while we dance lol. I really need to get this on tape. He is just so fun.
Another new thing has been the discovery of babies. Originally I wanted him to become comfortable with babies because we were going to see my cousin who has a 6 week old. I wanted him to know that he needs to be gentle and soft with the baby.
I didn't know he was going to fall in love with babies. Each time the baby would cry, his face would get so sad. He would point to the baby with a concerned face and say, "baby".
He has a baby doll at home that he loves to hold, kiss and hug. It melts my heart everytime and leaves me anxious to give him his own little baby to love and cuddle <3
I am on CD 24, 10 days or so until my LAST CYCLE before moving on to IVF. Brian and I feel like the door to IUI/ Injectibles (what we used for Ronan) was completely closed now. We found out our insurance wasn't supposed to cover as much as it did. If we were to do it now it would be 2,000 dollars a try. It took 6 tries to get Ronan... add up that math... we cannot afford that. IVF will be cheaper in the long haul. Until then I am still praying for a natural miracle, but feel good about our situation now. I am so excited to move on and build our family!!! less than 3 months now until I start the process!!! Brian and I are getting soooo excited :)
Thank you Lord for my son, for allowing me to be a mom. I pray that soon we will be able to expand our family :) I also thankyou for my husband and all my family who are supportive and loving. You have given me so much. I praise your name!!!

Like clock work?
Yesterday was cycle day 19 and in the early afternoon I got THIS

Now the real question is if I actually had any follicles worth rupturing with that beautiful LH surge, thanks to PCOS.
Other than that news, I apologize for the lack of updates! It has been so busy here. A lot of family in town for birthday parties, and summer fun. We have really been having a blast.
Time is just flying by! I cannot believe there are only 1.5 months until I start with the bloodwork and tests at ORM, only 2 months until I start B/C. ONLY 3 months until the whole process begins.
I am so thankful for the distractions the Lord has given me. I am truly enjoying every moment of my life and look forward to what is to come. God is so very good, all the time :)
Happy fouth of July EVERYONE!!!!
