The Hits Just Keep On Coming...

So, if it isn't one thing, its got to be something else. Kel and I had what the Dr's call our "3 Day" appoinment on Thursday morning. That just means she's on the third day of her cycle and they want to run a baseline of her hormone levels and what not to see where she stands. They also do an ultrasound and make sure everything is okay there. Well, during the ultrasound they found 2 cysts on her ovaries that are common enough not to raise a huge red flag, but definitely not something we want to have to contend with right now. Her blood work alos came back with high hormones, which are suppose to be suppressed right now from the meds. So, what this does is push us back about a week before we start phase 2 of shots and medication. Thus, next Thursday we will go back in to the Dr. and they will run the same tests and ultrasound to see how things are going. If her cycts are gone and her hormones are suppressed, then we will be able to go forward with stimulation. Otherwise, we have to cancel everything and start over next month!!

Then, the second round of shots came in the mail this morning, and it is necessary that we refrigerate them to keep them fresh. Kelli called me at work a few hours ago and mentioned that when she opened the door to the refrigerator, there was no cold, and our food was starting to get mushy. What does all that mean?!?! Looks like we get to go blow several hundred bucks on a new fridge. EXCITING!! That's exactly what I wanted to get to do this weekend. However, what I am clinging to is the FACT that the Lord will not give us a load that we can't carry. So, all I can do is laugh at the circumstances, maybe even cry just a little at the frustration, and pick my fat butt off the couch and get us a new fridge. In the meantime, please keep us in your prayers as our money really needs to be going to IVF to pay those Dr Bills and not random appliances! BUT but Lord knows nothing "normal" ever happens to us, especially when Kelli is involved. But I sure do love her anyway, despite that I know the abnormality is really with her and not myself!!! It sure is a good thing she married a patient man, if I do say so myself. :)
