Last Wednesday we found out that our 2nd IUI was not successful. We were already prepared that this was a possibility and we found ourselves at a peaceful place. We had already decided that we wanted to move forward with IVF if the IUI was unsuccessful but since we were both off work last week (on our staycation) we were able to spend some time to truly think and pray about this decision. We both decided we were ready to do this next step and we aren't letting the money stand in our way.
We know that we have a higher chance for this procedure to fail and even if we do get pregnant we have a higher risk for miscarriage but we are so thankful that God is in control of all of this. We have given it to him and will follow his will for our lives. Please continue to pray for Kevin and I on this new journey. We have already purchased the medications and start the injections on the 30th. For now that’s all we really know, but we will continue to use this blog as a way to update family and friends.
We have tried our best to stay positive with our infertility issues and want to remember our blessings. Thinking about our blessings can make the hard days much easier to handle. I am so thankful to have love and support from family, friends and coworkers. I have been blessed with two sweet friends who have gone through IVF. Their support, advice and prayers have truly meant so much to Kevin and I. We are also thankful for loving and supportive parents. They are there for us when we need advice or just a shoulder to lean on.
I have been beyond blessed to work at a Christian company full of believers and to have understanding and caring supervisors. They have been so supportive and understanding about all of our appointments and procedures. Not many places would be so understanding, and I am very grateful for FMS and its leaders.
Last week Kevin and I both had the week off, which was a true blessing. We stayed busy with painting the exterior of our house, swimming, installing lights at my parents, lunch at Joe T's, Omni Theater, more swimming, BBQ’ing, and just spending time together. I am always thankful for the time we have together and I was glad we decided to stay home for our vacation. We are planning a fun weekend away around our anniversary in November which gives us something to look forward to.
More to come on our adventure with IVF, thank you again for your prayers! God never gives us more than we can handle!
