Just wanted to let you know that I went to the doctor on Tuesday and got the go ahead to start my injections. I am giving them to myself which is kind of tricky when it comes to my left hip, but I think I have it figured out! So far, the only bad side effect is a terrible headache. But, with Kaden visiting, I don't have time to think about it. I just pop some Motrin and move on! As stressful as it has been to start all of this and have him, it has been a true blessing. (Shockingly) God knew what He was doing once again! :) It has been a great distraction for me. I am not sitting around constantly focusing on it. Plus, it has only fueled the desire to have a child. I am reminded of what we are doing all of this for.
I go back to the doctor on Thursday for more blood work and and ultrasound. They will see how my body is responding to the medication and adjust my dosage accordingly.
As it stands, we are looking at a retrieval date sometime around Good Friday! I am hoping that as I celebrate LIFE on Easter Sunday, I will have little babies living in a petri dish somewhere!
Thanks for all of your prayers and support. It means the world to Rusty and I.

Hi Jennifer,
Glad we've connected via this crazy blog world. Yes, I live close to OTS. I am doing my treatments through Dr. Dunn (Fertility Specialists of Houston, down off of Fannin). It's a bit of haul, but I'm really impressed with him.
Thank you for adding me to your prayer list! That means a lot. I will be praying for you too. I'm glad that your cycle has gotten off to a good start. The injections get easier and easier, and before you know it you'll feel like a pro! I'm glad that the Lord has given you such a cute little distraction to help you get through the initial jitters too.
I've learned loud and clearly over my last two cycles, that the medicine is just merely a tool. The Lord is the one directing this entire process. His Will will be done. He has graciously gone before you, and He already knows the outcome. Find rest and peace in knowing that He loves you and He is faithful to provide in His perfect timing!
Hang in there, and know that I am joining you through prayer on this ride!
Jennifer,
I am so excited for you as you start this new cycle. I will be praying for you and during the "wait" time which seems to be the hardest. I enjoyed your post the other day, it was so honest and real. I commend you for doing the job you do and going through this journey at the same time. God does know what we can handle and He doesn't give us anything that we "cannot" handle. It's awesome to hear that He showed Himself so real to you, there, at the time you needed it. That is what is so amazing about our Heavenly Father!
We are praying for you guys. What a blessing that your faith is so strong and that you know His plans are good. Gina
