The Waiting Game...

Well, we had our Dr's appointment yesterday and they found another cyst. So, we will wait another week, and have another appt next Thurs - same time and place. According to the Dr's (and Nurses) it appears that Kelli's body is not sure what to make of all these different hormones, coming at her from different sources. So, her "cycle" has been thrown off between the Lupron Shots and the Birth Control Pills, and her body is still trying to acclimate itself to those things. The light shining thru all of this, that we are able to praise Jesus for, is that at this stage in the game, it is better for us to know now that it isn't going perfectly instead of finding out halfway thru an egg retrieval or something. That has been our biggest prayer in all of this, that if it isn't going to be a "perfect" scenario, that we would find out as soon as possible so there is still time to fix it. Again, everything we do we want to be wrapped in the will of God, and not wrapped up in our own selfish desires to have children.

In essence, we really are so early in this IVF process that in catching these things now, it makes it easier to fix them and proceed with high hopes of still attaining a pregnancy. Also, the only thing our insurance covers in all of this are the Lupron Shots and Birth Control Pills, so Praise Jesus that even though this is another bump in the road, at least we aren't having to go deeper into the bank account to pay for more meds or shots or whatever. That is one consolation in all of this.

Please continue to pray for us as you see fit because this is a long and tedious process and we need all the strength we can muster. All we ask is that God's will would be done in all of this, even if in the end that means that we don't achieve a pregnancy. If that is His will, then we can handle that and be able to see His Light in all of this. - DD
