Received a miracle today

Well, my progesterone last month was only a 1.4 out of a magical number of 12. So, my doc decided to try different days of my cycle for the meds, and yesterday I went in for day 21 blood work. Honestly, I was hoping for a 4 just so I could see some type of numerical progress. Well, instead, I got more than I bargained for!

My nurse called around noon today and told me that my level this month was a 12.0 - I know, it's crazy! It's literally a miracle straight from the hands of God! So, I will wait until either I start or on day 35, July 30, when I'll take a test. I'm just soooo thrilled that my body worked. I hope if I'm not preggers, which I'm not expecting to be, that my body continues to work at this pace. Kim was super excited, so we enjoyed dinner out to celebrate!!!!

My mom told me tonight she just feels things are going in the right direction and that it would happen soon... regardless, my God gave me a miracle today. And for that, I'm grateful!

Jeremiah 29:11 "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"

Positive Thoughts aren't easy, but necessary

Day 21 rolled around, and no ovulation! However, I did start so I began new meds on day three. Doc didn't want to increase the hormone b/c he's trying to see if he can detect if my system is working on different days than the norm. So, instead of taking the drug days 5-9, I'm taking it 3-7. Beginning tomorrow, I'll do the ovulation test on my own and get my blood drawn on Day 21, July 16, for the official word.

Today, I learned two co-workers are preggers... one via e-mail and the other in person. It was hard, but I honestly wasn't as bummed today like normal. I DO believe God is still in control, and I'm confident it will happen. Doesn't make one day easier than the other, but I do know God's on my side, and Kim's on the other... we'll get through this and be able to tell everyone just how amazing God is! Positive thoughts aren't always the easiest on days like today, but it's necessary and I can't doubt His master plan... wish he would just give me some insight! :)
