Another Bump

Well, we have hit yet another bump in this journey to you. Today's appointment did not at all go as expected. In fact, I hadn't even prepared myself for this news.

I was going to today's appointment to find out when we would be doing IUI. Now, if IUI didn't work, that I was going to prepare myself for.

Instead, we found out that my body reacts way too well to the shots and pills. Where there should have been one or two follicles total, there were 12 on one side and 10 on the other. Which means no IUI at all. Which means we are back to the beginning. And worst of all, which means we have to go the IVF route (this has been my biggest prayer all along -- anything but IVF).

So, needless to say, today has been a pretty devastating day. And to make matters worse (and better in some ways), tomorrow is the first day of school. This is good because it is keeping me distracted. However, I feel distracted by this journey to you right now and fear I won't be the best teacher possible this week. I just don't feel like school is at the top of my priority list right now.

But, through all this pain today, I have still felt God telling me He is with me and has a plan with me. In fact, each song that came on the radio today was just for me. Even the DJ on the Christian radio station made a comment, "If you find yourself in pain today, things didn't go as you planned, just know that God has a bigger plan for you." So, through my tears and pain, I praise God. I know He has a plan for me and I know He has a plan for you.
