Daily reminder

Saw this on facebook today and it just seemed to be perfect for the kind of day I am having. I have to remind myself of this verse and remember to read it daily.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;"
- Proverbs 3:5 - Faith and trust are what our relationship with Jesus are made of!

The two loves of my life!

This picture makes me smile and reminds me how lucky and blessed I am!  I am so thankful for the great life that I have:) I love, love, love, being a wife and a mommy:)

Things that make me sad while struggling with infertility

As long as I can remember, I have always wanted a big family at least three would be nice. I wanted them by the time I turned 30 HA HA! God had different plans for me so while I wait for my next miracle here are some things I struggle with.

*Seeing pregnant women everywhere I go! I mean seriously is everybody and their mother pregnant right now?

*Being stopped behind a car that has those cute little stickers to represent their family and they go on and on and on :(

*Hearing women complain about their kids or pregnancy (except for my sister because she has three in there LOL)

* Watching everyone around me growing their families so easily:(

My heart goes out to all the women struggling with infertility, its a long heart wrenching journey. Don't give up ladies, we must never give up on our dreams of having a family or making it bigger. You are not alone!

She finally showed, first appt today

Okay had ultrasound and blood work early this morning to kick off my frozen embryo transfer:) Ultrasound is clear and just got the call from Dr. Werlin that my blood work looks great. I start my injections tomorrow! Yay! Game is on! This is a mock cycle so there won't be a lot of info to share since we are not stimulating my ovaries. Its a two month process, first month mock second month FET.

Oh Aunt Flo where are you?????

My goodness I am ready to jump back into this already, Aunt Flo where are you?!?!?!? You are late and your absence did not bring me good news:( Trust me I tested with hopes of a miracle but NO so you are taking your sweet time!!! Should have started on September 14th. Lets get going please!

Consultation result

I just realized that I never blogged about the actual consultation so I thought I would jump on to create a post. Well the consult went well of course we can't get enough of Dr. Werlin, I just love that man!!!! So he told us that he wouldn't really want to change our protocol for our 4th fresh cycle since I responded well to the meds. He did however suggest that we do a frozen embryo transfer with the two embryos on ice from round 2 of IVF before starting another fresh cycle. These are from the one that we got pregnant with Mia on:) So we know that they are strong embies! My biggest fear is that my little embryos do not survive the thaw. Dr. Werlin told us that they have an 80% chance of surviving and that sounds good to us. So we shall see!!!!
