Update on my previous update..

First if you haven’t read my last post you might want to so that this all makes sense.

After I wrote this last post with all the excitement of potential baby making I got a call from the nurse. I will warn you …this was not a good call :(

They had decreased my medication the last two days as to not over-stimulate follicle growth. Apparently, my estrogen level has dropped from 590 to 125..not good. She said that I am really sensitive to the medication and that this cycle is not ideal. She then proceeded to ask if my insurance covers IVF. I have to admit that question made my heart sink. I went on to tell her that it doesn’t and that since we are moving to Utah next month if this cycle didn’t work we would have to figure it out when we got there (not to mention the fact that I don’t think we could afford it on our own right now).

Hope is not completely lost, I am taking a higher dose of medication tonight and then going in for blood and ultrasound tomorrow. I am praying for good news on this. They are still planning on doing the IUI ..but as we can see everything can change in an instance.

I was pretty upset. My body has seemed to have a harder time handling with all the medication this round and the thought of going through this over and over again is depressing! It did remind me of how much both the hubs and I want this, and i’m not giving up but I am somewhat discouraged. As I said, it could all change and this cycle might still work.

Overall I know that it is in God’s hands and no matter what the circumstances are He can make it happen if it is in His timing. The Hubs has been amazing and we had a good talk about it today. I am nervous about tomorrow and I am trying to trust God and not worry but it is hard!

We would really appreciate your prayers during this next week..I have a feeling it isn’t going to be easy both physically and emotionally. Thanks so much for your support so far!

  5. I'm sorry, Ashley. That would be hard to hear. I've been praying for you, and I know it's going to all work out in the end! Don't be discouraged! The Lord always has a plan, and alot of times we only see what it when we look backwards. I know someday you'll look backwards and see His Hand at work.

  11. I found your blog through Hannah Myres blog. So, this is my first time reading. I know what you are going through - I went through it too with 1 IVF cycle and 1 FET cycle (which insurance didn't cover). Never lose hope and faith! :) I will be praying for you!

  13. I love you baby girl. You are so, so, so amazing. Your strength and faith makes my heart swell. If there was any way I could I would love to be there with you and at least make you cinnamon bread! We are all praying and know that it is the big pic that is important, no matter how unbelievable difficult these steps are. We will one day have our baby :)
