I had my baseline sonogram and blood work today. Just as a reminder this was to make sure the ovaries were quiet and without cysts, and the uterus lining was the proper thinness. The blood work measured my estrogen level to make sure it's where it should be.... And guess what?? Everything came back perfect! I'm so relieved to be past this first hurdle... now on to the next!
Yesterday was my last birth control pill and Thursday we will begin taking one of my many medications. Saturday we will introduce two more. I won't go into all of the details about each med, just know that these three meds will be used the next 10-14 days to stimulate my ovaries to grow multiple follicles (eggs)
Starting next Tuesday I will be monitored every other day (or more) via sonogram and blood work to make sure the ovaries are stimulating but not over stimulating. Over stimulation can cause big issues, so let's pray to keep that under control. I have already been warned that one of the side effects is pain. Considering the ovaries will be growing multiple follicles, it's similar to having multiple large cysts... Which I'm sure a lot of you know can be painful. I've been a bit nervous about this, but I'm trying to stay positive and faithful!
I have great faith that this process is going to go as planned. I have faith that God did not bring us this far to leave us. He is with us now and will continue to be with us throughout. Please keep praying for us. For now, pray specially that the process stays on track and that my side effects stay minimul. I have shared a picture below of my meds. There's a lot going on in this picture lol
I have also shared some verses that are near to my heart this week.
Keep praying!
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.
For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.
I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.
For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.
Psalms 84:11
I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.
1 Samuel 1:27
