Results

Oh how I pray I continue to trust in Christ through everything and every circumstance.
I finally had to call and find out the results of my blood work. In my eyes the blood work wasn't good. My level was .71 so definitely low. Not at all what I had hoped and prayed for. But I know that Christ is in control in all circumstances so I'm clinging to the knowledge that He knows that is absolutely best for me.
So where do we go from here? I will do one more round of Clomid - 150mg. Depending on how that goes, I will more than likely be referred to a fertility specialist. So pray for me. And pray for Joseph too. He said that he is fine with whatever I choose. So please Pray for clarity and certainty. I want to follow Christ in our decisions. So we covet all your prayers in every situation of this process.

Present day

So that takes us to today! March 12, 2016. I ended up having to do another round of provera and then started the clomid. I was so thankful my emotions were better this time. I still had my moments but they were not as frequent as they had been. No idea why, but for the moment I am thankful. Yesterday I had my day 21 blood work and now I am just waiting. Waiting to hear what my numbers were and to see where we will go next. (Although I'm fairly certain we will go to 150mg of clomid!) I am praying for a number over 1. Even that little bit of an increase will give me hope. But what I need is prayer. Prayer that even if it is not good news that I continue to trust in God and remember that for whatever reason he is in complete control. It's can be so easy to get discouraged and allow yourself to struggle.
So as we await the numbers enjoy a lovely photo of me after my blood work!

What followed

After the HSG I had blood work scheduled for my "day 21" count. Basically this would tell me if I ovulated on time or not. I had not had a positive OPT (ovulation prediction test) nor had my temperature told me anything so I wasn't expecting good news. However, I didn't expect it to be what it was. They want your number to be over 15 and mine was .4  I was crushed.  Basically my body wasn't doing what it was supposed to. I held it together and the nurse told me that we would start clomid on my next cycle.
What she didn't tell me was that because of low numbers, my cycle would be off (and it had been off for awhile!). So I ended up having to take progesterone pills called Provera to make my cycle start. And then we did the clomid. So once again I was scheduled for blood work on day 21. 50mg of clomid. The combination of the two medicines made me an emotional trajn wreck. Everything made me cry and poor Joseph got to deal with mh crazy moods! Oh how I prayed it would work even just a slight bit. But then I got the call. Remember that number that was supposed to be over 15 and mine was .4? Well this time it was .35 even lower.  She told me we would double to 100mg for the next cycle and then we hung up. I cried and cried. And prayed and cried somemore. All the while being so thankful for a sister who understands and a mother who is so sympathetic.  I have a husband who is patient and our God who is constantly with us and never leaving us even when I feel all hope is lost I know he is there.
