Oh - God had the map...

Well, I didn't have much to say during this last IVF. I was keeping busy, head down, do what the Dr says...
Now we wait for results from the pregnancy test.

Kicking myself for pushing to do the IVF in Dec.
I felt VERY strongly that the Lord was leading us to do the IVF in Jan, we had prayed and the signs all pointed to that. BUT then all of a sudden things seemed to make way for a Dec IVF, so we switched plans and pushed ahead, only to hit the wall.
So I was mad at rushing, started to doubt the signs...

Then we learned that the IVF rate was increasing with the Jan IVFs, but since I already paid for Dec, I wasn't going to have to pay the $2000 + difference. (that price difference would have meant we couldn't do it, we'd have to save up for another few months)

Looking back, talking with Bob, we both see that the whole situation and both Months were in God's plan. By trying for Dec we were able to secure the IVF price we could afford, yet still doing the IVF in Jan when we felt God was leading us to do it.

I feel that this infertility challenge for us was a lesson in patience, trust, relying on God's timing, and leaning on our partner for support. It also has let me appreciate my child and really spend time with her, loving her, and cherishing her. I also learned I was NOT done having kids. We did not feel our family was complete, and we would do whatever necessary to make our family grow.

Still waiting to hear back from the nurse....
God had the map, he was leading and we were following. I just pray we don't have another detour, but arrive in pregnant land...
