Quick update...

I went to the fertility doc today to have an ultrasound. The follicles look good--1 large one, 3 smaller ones (which means that probably only the one dominant one will release an egg, but who knows...). My mom just gave me my "trigger" shot tonight, which enduces ovulation in about 36 hrs. The IUI procedure is scheduled for exactly 36 hrs. after the shot: Saturday morning at 8:30. I am concerned because I seem to have thin uterine lining again this month. As a reminder, if the lining is too thin, a fertilized egg may not implant, thus no pregnancy.) I really wanted everything to line up perfectly for this last IUI attempt, but it's just not going to happen that way. So, that has me discouraged. I know that I just have to let that all go, trust the doctors, and most of all: trust God. I am trying to dwell on the verse I wrote in the last blog--to stay confident. God can and will make this happen this month IF it is His will, regardless of the circumstances. And with the added complication of a thin uterine lining, just think how much more of a miracle it will be if it happens this month! Please pray that all will go smoothly within my body and during the procedure Saturday, and obviously for a successful outcome. I'll let everyone know what happens in about 2 weeks. Please pray that I will be hopeful, while at the same time prepared for possible disappointment. I guess I just want God to protect my heart. And Brian's, too! Thank you dear friends.
