The latest

We got the call this morning that out of 14 eggs, only 3 fertilized. We are sad, but hopeful that 3 is all we will need. We believe that God knows exactly what He is doing and has our children in His hand.

I have gotten hyperstimulated again though. Because there were so many follicles, there is a lot of fluid in my abdomen and I am in a lot of pain. If I try to move at all, the fluid irritates and makes more fluid. So, I have to stay in bed with a heating pad and minimize my movement. I could go to the hospital and have the fluid drained, but then they would not be able to transfer the babies in. So, I plan on staying home and toughing it out as long as possible.

As long as I am able to make it that far, we are planning on a Monday transfer. Then, I will be on bedrest until Thursday. The fluid usually gets worse after the babies are in, so I still might have to go to the hospital post transfer.

Please pray that the hyperstimulation goes away so that we can go through with the transfer on Monday!

Hey Jen!

Stay strong and keep your head up..we are all praying for you! Have FAITH! Love, Melissa Flory:
Cast your cares upon the Lord, for he cares about you. I Peter 5:7

Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God. Job 37:14

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5,


God works in mysterious ways,
His glorious work never done.
He is with us each step we blaze,
as we walk the pathway of life, my son.

His voice is loud and clear,
as His words speak to each of us.
If we only listen and hear,
His words without a fuss.

He accepts us just as we are,
loves us, as the children of God.
Never judging, always forgiving from afar,
guiding us through our facade.

He hears our voice as we pray
simple words, asking Him to forgive us.
Guide us, take away our fears today,
help us to become a success.

When dreadful things happen in our life,
they test of our faith in Him.
Without faith in God there is strife,
and the light that is Him will surely dim.

PRAISING GOD for 3 precious embryo babies! I am praying for your family - that God would keep His mighty, sovereign hand on those babies, that He would place His healing hand on you and reduce the liquid and your pain, and that He would place His hand of peace on both you and Rusty's hearts as you wait it out the next couple of days.

You are loved, my friend.

Jen,

What a wonderful blessing to have 3! God will never gives us more than we can handle therefore 1-3 Woolleys must be the perfect number for you and Rusty. I pray now that the fluid and pain will resolve literally overnight, and that you will rest in God's comfort and peace knowing HE is preparing your body for your babies to grow in it.
Rest my friend and be anxious for nothing. Hold strong in your FAITH in the plans of the Lord and will bless you. We are here for anything you both need.

Lots of Love
Andrea
