Today, I met with our fertility specialist who reviewed our last test. He confirmed that he thinks (his opinion is really the one that counts) that it is indeed, good news!
I know that I had not given many details about this test, but a lot was riding on it. He could have told me today that another round of IVF is not an option for us, that we have no chance of ever getting pregnant. BUT, that is not the news that he had for me! He told me that we can move forward with another IVF cycle as soon as we are ready! This next round will be a little bit more complicated, but he was very encouraged by the results and was very hopeful that we would be successful with another round.
Although I am relieved and encouraged, I am not ready to move forward yet. If I could be assured that it would work this time, I wouldn't hesitate. But obviously there are no guarantees. I know that before I can try this again, my heart has to be ready for whatever the outcome. Right now, I don't know if I am ready to handle that kind of loss again.
It is so difficult to balance walking in faith and believing that God can do ANYTHING and preparing your heart for disappointment. It has been our biggest struggle as we walk through infertility.
We will have some tough decisions to make over the next couple of months and I covet your prayers for wisdom and guidance. I am praying that He makes His path for us abundantly clear. Rusty's mom said today that she will pray that "God will hit me over the head" with the answer. I am praying for that, too.

Trust in the Lord with every part of your being and don't think too much about the facts. In all of this keep your eyes on HIM and HE will take you exactly where HE has planned. (Prov. 3:5-6 Cindy's version for Jenni)
