And Now...The Fun Begins!

We are finally over the half-way point of this round of IVF and are looking forward to being able to see and hear about progress. Up until this point, I have just been on a few meds which start the protocol and it seemed like an eternity to reach the half-way point since this cycle is quite a bit longer than our previous ones. We continue to remain hopeful, but also are realistic that a lot of this is simply out of our control and in God's hands. This week and next week we pray that my body responds to the stimulation medications, even stronger than before, so that we can move forward with the IVF procedures. We have to take it one day at a time because at any time during the next three weeks the cycle can be "shut down" based on the body's response to the medications, or failure to arrive at the next step. In the previous two rounds we were fortunate enough to press forward and so it is our hope that this round will be no different, except of course, an even better response than before!

Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers over the next few weeks. I will continue to remain joyful in hope!
