I had my appt with Dr. Le this morning and it looks like its time to trigger tonight! My follicles are doing great. I have about 24. He thinks I'll have about 15 that are mature. My lining is only at a 7. I hoped it would grow more. I really wanted it at an 8....but I keep telling myself to not worry, this is all in God's hands and He is in control...not me. He says he wants me to go ahead and go foward. My retrieval is at 9:30 this Thursday. Transfer should be on Tuesday March 2nd.
I told him we prayed for him last Sunday night, and he "thank you very much". He told me that before he did my two surgeries last year, he prayed that God would use his hands to do a good job. I thought that was so sweet! He always tells me..."we can only do so much...God has the power, and a miracle baby takes divine intervention". I'm so blessed to have a doctor who shares the same beliefs as me.
Wanted to share 3 really cool things that I read today that have once again restored my faith and hope, and that I feel God is telling me:
1) I have a daily calendar that you rip off a page each day and it tells of someone's story of angels on earth. People from all across the world share their stories/encounters/experiences. Todays story for Feb 23rd is titled Strength of the heart by Jessica strength from Arlington, Tx. She writes...My third pregnancy came after two miscarriages. My husband and I were afraid to hope-we didn't know if we could handle more disappointment. We had been collecting teddy bears to distribute to sick, abused, and orphaned kids as a way of actively fighting our grief. To each of the stuffed toys, we attached a card that read: "Strength Bear: May you have the strength to bear what is ahead." I wondered how I could endure more heartbrak. Then one day I looked at the Strengh Bears waiting to be handed out and remebmered a verse from Psalms, "God is the strength of my heart." I relied on the dwindling group of bears to give me hope. By the time we gave away the last bear, I had another reminder that god never gives us more than we can handle. My husband and I had a healthy baby girl.
That spoke to me and gave me chills! Here we are...taking this huge leap of faith after suffering two miscarriages...
2) A friend of a friend named Josh came over on Sunday night to pray for us and also gave me a daily devotional book that each day of the calendar year has daily reflection passage along with a scripture. Yesturdays message was titled "Having All Things Added to You"-But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things ashall be added to you"-Matthew 6:33. I skipped ahead to see what is would say on the day of my retrieval this Thursday Feb. 25th and it reads "Is Anything too hard for God"-Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh, Is there anything too hard for Me?"-Jeremiah 32:27.
Thats all I needed to hear! If God says nothing is too hard for Him...it is so!
