5 days!

Hey everyone! We are quickly approaching our transfer date. In just 5 days (Tuesday, August 21st) we will FINALLY be having our embryo transfer. After my hyperstimulation, and waiting to get an appointment in the lab, we are finally back into daily injections and we are in the home stretch. My anxiety and excitement is starting to rise, but so is the nervousness.

  Jeremy and I have taken the break from treatments to seriously consider and pray about what our next steps will be should this round of treatment fail. We feel that as difficult on my body as this is, and with my likeliness of hyperstimulating, regardless of the outcome, this will be our last attempt through IVF...at least for a while. Should God choose to give us a negative result, we will understand that this is his will and that he is closing that door for us for now. Sure, it will still be very difficult, but we are trying to mentally prepare for WHATEVER the Lord allows.

   With all this being said, we are definitely in need of prayer. Of coarse we are praying for a positive result, so you can pray alongside of us with that. But we are also praying that should the outcome be negative that we will still find a way to glorify God. We know that last time, we had not prepared ourselves for the emotional toll it would take. Our hopes in opening up and sharing our personal journey with you this time, is that should we need it, we know many of you will be diligent in praying for our healing. But also, if it's positive, we will be able to all celebrate the Lords goodness and his miracle together. We are so thankful for those of you who do consistently pray for and encourage us. The body of Christ is such a wonderful thing!
