The Transfer

Tomorrow is the big day! Tomorrow at 8 am we will be transferring two of our little growing embryos into my body! I'm so stinking excited I can't stand it! I doubt I will be getting any sleep tonight. The super exciting part of this whole part is that Josh gets to be in the room with me. 

With all of that said several days after the procedure they will be able to tell me if I'm pregnant. So this going to be my last post for a few weeks! And after all that I've been through these past couple of weeks it means a lot to have all of you by my side through out this whole process! Seriously you have no idea how you've encouraged me day after day. I'm so glad that I decided to take a chance and start this blog. I hope you've found some encouragement in reading and I hope you too can share your journey and help just one person. I promise it will be worth it! 

Please continue to pray with me and my family for our little miracle<3

~Until next time! 

Egg Retrieval Part 2

Hi Everyone! 

Thank you all so much for your well wishes and prayers! Thankfully the Egg Retrieval yesterday was a major success! They were able to get 10 eggs! Apparently the average is 6-8. So I was so excited to hear that news! But this morning I got a call from my doctors and they told me that 9 of the 10 eggs fertilized! How insanely incredible! I was so surprised! I know I'm an emotional mess but I swear everytime I speak to the drs office I tear up! 

Please continue to pray for all 9 of our little growing embryos :-) On Friday they will transfer two of the best looking embryos and the others will be frozen! So far everything is going the way it's supposed to. I can't help but smile and I can't help but see Gods handy work in mine and Josh's life.

I also want to encourage you, if you are having fertility issues to talk about them. I promise it will make this journey so much easier. You'd also be surprised how many people are having similar issues! It truly helps. I promise since I've started this blog I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! 

I will update more on Friday! Thanks for joining my journey! 

~Until next time! 

Egg Retrieval!

Today I got my schedule for the next phase of this crazy journey. Sunday morning I go in for the egg retrieval! It's the most exciting/stressful/scary time right now! I can't believe it's finally here! After all this time, after all the daily shots, it's almost here! It's finally our shot at having a baby. In case you're reading this and you have no idea what the egg retrieval process is I'll tell you!


Basically I've been taking a bunch of meds to increase the size of the follicles that are in my ovaries. The follicles hold the eggs. The goal is to get the follicles to a certain size. The day of the egg retrieval they take out as many eggs as they can. The same day they fertilize those eggs. And for five days they "grow" essentially into embryos. On the fifth day they will transfer two of those embryos back into my body. And several days later we'll know if I'm pregnant.....


With all of that being said, the egg retrieval is a little more difficult. So I ask you for all your prayers, thoughts, vibes or whatever you have to give. They do put me to sleep which is why I guess I'm a little anxious. I'm trying not to put all my eggs in one basket (pun intended). But I'm super excited and I am speaking great things. God gives us the desire of our hearts, and I know I want to be a mother. I hope one day my child that I will have will be able to see how much I loved them before they were even here, how much we wanted them. My body has been through so much these past few years, I know that it will be worth it. I'm staying positive because I know Gods word is true.

Again, thank you all for your kind words and prayers. You can't possibly know how much that means to me<3 I'll leave you with this:

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7

~ And until next time

And We're Off

So yesterday afternoon I got the call from my doctors office to start the daily injections. With mixed emotions last evening Josh and I mixed all the meds and took another step closer to starting our family!

Throughout these past few weeks since I've shared my journey I've heard from so many people. A lot of people have told me how heartbroken they are for us. They are sad for us because we have to go this route. While I appreciate everyones thoughts and prayers I don't want anyone to be sad for us. This isn't the path I would of chosen. But I have to believe that there is a reason that this is happening to us. I have to believe that one day when I'm holding that little baby, I can honestly say we have waited and prayed for you for so long. I have to hold on to that. If not I'll go crazy. Thank you to all those that are praying for us. Pray for our courage and strength. Pray for our success, pray for my health and mostly pray for us in case it doesn't work. We'll need extra prayers. I'm holding on to my faith and to all of the positivity in the world!


~And until next time!
