Let It Snow?
So this week proved to be very busy with work and constantly going to Dr. B. So, I thought nothing of it when the weatherman predicted snow this weekend. I had to go to Dr. B on Friday and turn right back around and go to him on Saturday morning smack dab in the middle of the snow. I am so thankful Mr. Blessed Bud let me use his SUV Saturday. Here is a re-cap of my IVF progress this week:
2/3/10 ...............
Had b/w and u/s this afternoon. I now have 15 follies on both ovaries today they were 12mm up from 11mm on Monday. I am on day 9 of stims. Dr. B told me I should be 1 or 2 mm's ahead but that PCOS girls sometimes get resistant so he upped my dose of Menopur for tonight. He did not want to up me too much he wants to go slow because he said he doesn't want a big BOOM of follies all of a sudden. I go back Friday and my ER will be early next week instead of this weekend. Praying that my follies continue to grow...
2/5/10 ...............
Night 11 of stims and I had b/w and u/s with Dr. B this afternoon. My E2 levels are rising nicely. I have a lot of follies many mature, some immature so I do my last dose of stims tonight (225iu Follistim, 2 vials of Menopur) and it is back to Dr. B tomorrow morning for another u/s. He is trying to get the immature follicles to catch up to the ones that are ready for trigger. Dr. B is most likely going to trigger me tomorrow evening for ER on Monday!
2/6/10 ...............
Last u/s and b/w with Dr. B. was Saturday morning. I was given instructions to Trigger at 1:30 am on Sunday and my ER is on Monday!
2/7/10 ...............
I Triggered at 1:30 am and hit the hay so I could get some sleep for church. I was instructed by Dr. B and Nurse S to take an OPK at 12 noon and call them with the results. At church I used the bathroom before my bishop's sermon, got 2 lines and left a message with my RE's answering service. My RE called me back after church and explained to me that he wanted to make sure I got my LH surge.
On Sundays we do a prayer in the online community I am part of on the bump/nest. Here is my prayer and I will have an update after my ER tomorrow...
Dear Heavenly Father,
Please continue to allow me to walk by FAITH and not by SIGHT. Please give me the strength to continue on in the midst of the storm. Please bless my Husband and give him peace and comfort as we go to our ER tomorrow. Please touch the Dr's, Embryologist and Nurses. Lord I thank you for sending me to my RE and allowing him to be the vessel in which your perfect will be done. I ask your blessings upon my Step Daughter as she journeys with us tomorrow and I pray that you remove all fear and doubt from my mind as I continue on this IVF journey. Bless my angel baby in heaven and my unborn children, whom I will raise to your honor and your glory. Father please bless all of my sisters in IF and help them to keep on keeping on.
In Jesus Precious Name,
Amen

GL BB - I am praying for a great ER & lots of good quality eggs/embies after tomorrow!
I am sending a little prayer for you. Hope everything is growing where its suppose to and that this is your cycle.
And your prayer is just so touching.
I pray that this cycle that you get your blessing. Your update made me think of the line in the song, "There's a blessing in the storm." Good luck.
