Roller Coaster

Ladies, this has been a roller coaster of a weekend!

So, my progesterone level was actually a third of what it was supposed to be. High enough that I'd be able to get pregnant, but not to sustain a pregnancy. So I was devistated. I think I cried all night Saturday. And of course, I could do the supplements, but they are by prescription only, and the office was closed Sunday. Pure devistation. I wasn't upset just because the cycle didn't work, it was that I didn't think we had done everything we possibly could have, and that's not acceptable. But, I still prayed, and yes, I still thanked Jesus for letting us get to where we have, and that at least we had the knowledge to do better next cycle. There is so much to be thankful for. I literally was upset for about 20 minutes, and then just turned around, knowing the Lord has a better plan.

Sunday things we status quo. We were busy with church and running errands. At church we dedicated the new sanctuary. That service was AMAZING and affected me in a way that no service ever has before. I had goosebumps, tears...oh God is good indeed!

Monday, I called the office FIRST THING. Then I went out for a mini girls day with my neighbor, who is like a little sister. Well, the RE's office called, assured me my results were normal, but said that they would put me on the supplement if I wanted. I told her yes, I did, and so they called one in. I start today. I got home to look on one of my message boards and post that I was going to start, and something caught my eye. A woman said somethign about having her level checked 8 days after her IUI. Wait...8 days? Mine was 4 days later. So off the the search engine I go. Most levels are checked 7 or 8 days later. Sounds positive, but how much do the levels increase daily? I needed to know if my level would have been normal at that 7 or 8 day mark. After a lot of research, I believe it would be. But, at the low end. So, I'm going to take the supplement anyway. It won't hurt. I talked to a couple of girls who started the supplement at 1 week after their IUI, so I know I'm not starting it late.

Know what all this taught me? Prayer works.
