An Urgent Request

Over the past week, ever since my retrieval on Monday, I have had swelling and lower abdominal pains. Yesterday, it hadn't really gotten any better or worse since the surgery and it started to concern me that I might be experiencing what they call hyper stimulation. I left a message with my nurse explaining what I was experiencing and she relayed this to my doctor. My doctor then called me and told me that I am a high risk patient for hyper stimulation and she is very concerned that this is what I might be experiencing. However, she also said that it may just be that my ovaries have swelled from the surgery, which would not be as big of a deal.

So, today is the scheduled day of our embryo transfer. This is when they will transfer the embryos that have been growing into my uterus. However, due to my bloating and pain, I first will be having an ultrasound to determine if I am hyper stimulating. Dear friends, I am asking that you pray alongside of us that this is not the case. If I am hyper stimulating, they will not be able to do the transfer and will freeze the embryos we have, and we will have to wait another few weeks to transfer them. I know this is a very last minute request as my ultrasound is scheduled for 10am this morning, and my transfer is scheduled for 11:30am but I am confident God is still in control. Ultimately, pray that no matter what the outcome for today is, that God will be glorified.
