Purpose of This Blog

I felt compelled a couple of weeks ago to share my story. After listening to a sermon, the phrase don't waste your tears came to mind. The sermon was based on the scripture, Those who sow in tears will reap with joy, He who goes weeping, carrying seed to sow will return with songs of joy. Psalm 126:5 My desire and hope for this blog is to not only help me through this season, but to encourage others with what God is doing in my life. I pray that this blog helps me and you see God's grace, love, and presence through every step of this journey. My dear friend explained to me the other day that her season of infertility was the sweetest thing she had every endured. She encouraged me to not waste my infertility. This is me not wasting it.

Yesterday's Transfer

Well, yesterday's transfer went well. We had three frozen embryos left over from our fresh cycle of IVF. One embryo was excellent, one good, and one that wasn't that great. I woke up yesterday pretty anxious because of the uncertainty of the survival of the embryos. My morning was filled with "Please Lord, don't let that phone ring!" Luckily, the phone didn't ring. When we got to the clinic, the embryologist quickly came to talk with us. She informed us that the excellent embryo made the thaw and so did the one that wasn't that great. The embryologist didn't really want to leave the one that wasn't that great by itself for later use because of its quality. Due to this, they started unthawing it on Sunday and it started growing! By yesterday, it was hatching which is a good sign! All in all, we transferred both of them and kept the good embryo frozen for later use.

Everyone was very positive and happy about the transfer. My doctor (Dr. Massey) even called me today to let me know of his optimism. Another doctor completed the transfer yesterday, so it was good to hear from my doctor today. For the next couple of days, I will be resting and praying!

Thank you so much for praying for us along this journey. It truly is sweet to see God's body at work.

1. Please pray the embryos grow and implant!
2. Please pray that on 12/27 I would get a positive test!
3. Please pray that our faith would be increased during this season.
