My feelings on the whole thing are kind of blah... I can't really nail it down. Is it a lack of faith in IUI's? A "we've been here before" kind of thing? Is it my heart's way of attempting to guard against total devastation in two weeks time? Or is it an acceptance that this is all out of my hands... the Big Guy is in control? I'm guessing it's some mixed up conglomeration of all of the above.
I'll be real honest and say that I don't have a lot of hope for this cycle. I was starting to feel just a teeny, tiny bit optimistic, but then I woke up to this:
 |
| May BBT Chart |
The doctor gave us a ten percent chance of twins and about a one percent chance of higher order multiples... Sam's eyes bugged out of his head. Statistics is not his strong suit. I was previously given about a ten percent chance of success through IUI, so I'm guessing that my doctor is being a wee bit overly optimistic here, but it's nice to hear his vote of confidence in my body's awesomeness to get the job done.
I will say that I've felt like I was smacked in the ovaries with a crowbar a couple of dozen times ever since I woke up... I'm strangely pleased with this pain as it's giving me an unsupported reason to believe I might have just ovulated.
Anyway, prayers that we have at least one egg still living would be appreciated (or if it's dead that the Lord would call it back to life Lazarus style). And thank you all for your texts, Facebook messages, emails, etc. wishing us luck and sending us love. I felt very loved this morning! I'll keep you all posted!
YES! Love the idea of some Lazarus-style resurrection of post-ov eggs. :) That is awesome. I don't know why, but I always thought (or was told) you weren't supposed to chart while on medicated cycles because the charts would be all wonky due to the meds, triggers, etc...and cause unnecessary stress...??? Or maybe my dr just told ME that to save herself a lot of panicked phone calls, haha. But let's just pretend that's the case and that you can't trust your chart this cycle. :)
ReplyDeletePrayers, prayers, prayers, prayers, prayers - you got 'em!! I'm still so amazed by your doctor's positivity. I mean, you'd have to think that if your doctor really didn't think it would happen, that he'd have to tell you, right? I know it's hard to have hope... so, just know that I have lots of it for you! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove this quote: "or if it's dead that the Lord would call it back to life Lazarus style". Too funny! :) Lots of prayers that this is THE cycle for you! Since it really is all out of your control, just sit back and let Him do the work.
ReplyDeleteI'm with your doctor. Feel the positivity. This cycle has given you so many reasons to worry, yet every time, it's come around and been all good news. I choose to feel like this the case with this as well. Sometimes temping really can throw us for a loop and cause more harm than good...though I am a habitual temper as well. ;)
ReplyDeleteLots of prayers. It only takes one good egg! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThinking of you a ton this week! prayers for you!
ReplyDeletePraying! And hoping these next couple weeks go by super fast. Sounds like everything went as well as possible!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you! I am hoping with you that this is it! :))
ReplyDeleteSo many thoughts going your way!
ReplyDeletePraying for ya girl!
ReplyDeleteI completely 100% believe that God can and maybe even sometimes does the Lazarus thing to eggs. Praying He does/did that to yours if needed.
