Praise!

Today I had my u/s to see how many follies we are dealing with. I found as I started thinking about it this morning, I started to get anxious about it. What if there weren't enough, what if the meds haven't been doing there job? I quickly reminded myself, this is God's cycle, I have put it in his hands to do what he whats with it.

Right before the doc came in, I prayed that there would be a perfect number of follies (God's perfect number, not mine) and that my doc would have a positive attitude. I'm doing monitoring at a satellite clinic, so I'm using my OB, not my RE, and my OB has kinda stressed me out over the last couple cycles with doubts. So, doc comes in, and we take a look. Uterus lining looks perfect, then he went over to the rt. ovary. I see a few small black circles, but it can be so hard to tell. In the past 2 ivf cycles, at this point of the cycle I've had 4-6 follies total, which at retrieval time I had 7-8 retrieved. So, he starts counting on the rt, wouldn't you know, there's 6 in just that ovary!! So, then we look over at the left, 6 there too!!!!! Praise GOD!! The largest is only around a 10, so we have a few more days to go to get them to mature, but my doc was very positive and said my RE will really be happy with these results. He is going on vacation tomorrow, so he said he hoped to see me in 6 weeks as my new OB.

So, I was on cloud nine praising God! How great is our God!!! He immediately calmed my fears and answered my prayers, which has given me more hope and faith in Him!

I happen to fall upon this Psalm right after coming home from the appt.

Psalm 21:1-4

O Lord, in your strength the king rejoices, and in your salvation how greatly he exults! You have given him his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head. He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days forever and ever.
