Posting one time is easier than having this conversation over and over on the phone, so here is the latest.....
Rusty and I went to the doctor on Saturday and not too much had changed. The follicles were a little bit bigger, but not as big as he would have hoped. My bloodwork looked good though and they did not increase the levels of my medication again!
I went again this morning and the news was about the same. I only have about 8 follicles (some people have about 20 at this point) and they are growing, but still have a way to go before we can retrieve them. My bloodwork looked good again though, so I can stay on the same dose of medication! (This is good because as I increase the meds, I increase the side effects and have the cost of buying more meds) The nurse thinks that the retrieval will not be until Saturday or Sunday, so that means the amount of medication that we ordered will not be enough. I had to purchase another round of meds which stresses me out because of the cost.
I came back to work today, after taking the week off with Kaden. It has been a tough day physically and emotionally. As I have said in a previous post, Labor and Delivery is a tough place to be all day, when you are walking through this. I just don't have it in me to be compassionate about how uncomfortable being pregnant is. But, I have been told that slapping my patient would be frowned upon. So, I am at the nurses station instead, blogging to vent and relieve some stress!
I am beginning to get very anxious about the whole situation. I am so afraid of it not working. I just don't know if I am physically, emotionally, or financially ready to do this all over again. Please pray that God would restore that peace in my heart.
Rusty has been so wonderful and supportive through all of this. I am so thankful for him. Please continue to pray for his peace as well. We rest in the fact that God is in control and want to give Him glory for all that He is going to do! I don't know how He will choose to give us a family, but we are confident that He is going to work it out. I am just so anxious to see how He is going to do it!

Praying for you!
I know those same fears all too well. They are the enemy trying to steal your focus from the Truth and rob you of the hope/peace you have in Christ.
Here are some verses that help me. I have them written on notecards. I read them, recite them out loud, pray using them, etc. whenever I get fearful/anxious.
Romans 15:13
Psalm 62:8
1 Peter 5:7
Isaiah 41:10
Exodus 14:14 (one of my faves!)
Psalm 91:1-2
Psalm 27:1-3
Joshua 1:9
2 Chron 20:17
I am praying for you.
Ok, Jennifer, I think you and I may have another example of how small this world is! When you get a chance e-mail me at erica.brothers@gmail.com.
I'm praying for you! I just looked at my last comment on here and it sounds so serious (not even one exclamation mark - so not like me!). I didn't mean for it to be like that. I hope that the verses encouraged you, though!
