Well, we went back to Cincinnati again yesterday (Thursday) to have yet another ultrasound to see how many follicles I had and how big they were (fancy language for when to take the shot and come in for the IUI). Everything is looking good. I will take my shot tomorrow and Chris and I will drive to Cincinnati early Monday morning for the procedure. The IUI does not take long once it is injected but the process will take a couple hours. We are hopeful in God's ability to create a life using the meds and doctors but we understand the percentage is low for us to conceive with an IUI the first try, however, we serve a mighty God so if He wants it to happen on the first try then it will (can I get an amen, lol)!
So many people have asked me lately how I feel, if I'm excited, anxious, weary, skeptical, emotional, optimistic, pessimistic etc... Well, what best describes me right now (and I think Chris too) is waiting. That is the best word I can come up with to describe my feelings at this time, waiting on the Lord.
"Wait for the Lord; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord" Psalm 27:14
"The vision is set for the appointed time...Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay" Habakkuk 2:3
"The process of waiting for a message from God can be as important as the message itself. In waiting, my faith and intimacy with the Lord grow. Often something I learn while waiting prepares me for the message so that I am not as surprised by it as I might have been otherwise; thus, I am more willing to obey" -Priscilla Shirer from Discerning the Voice of God
These are verses and quotes that I believe in so I'm trying (not that I'm perfect at it) to figure out what I am supposed to get out of this struggle and especially what I am supposed to learn in the waiting period. I ask that you all please pray for me to have ears to hear and eyes to see whatever God wants me to learn from all this.
On another note, if any of you are on pinterest, please follow my infertility board. There is great inspiration, knowledge, faith and power offered on there. I have included a link to an AMAZING song and video: http://youtu.be/JqfGqOx2iDQ This is the only song I've heard that is specifically talking about infertility and as many of you know music really speaks to me. I really hope you will take a few minutes to listen and watch the video, hopefully it will speak to you in some way too.
Blessings!
