Let's try again

On Wednesday, February 16, 2011 I had a doctors appointment to have a sonogram done to see if my cyst was gone. I wasn't surprised when the nurse said indeed the cyst was gone. I was surprised however when she said, "You are about to ovulate any minute." I didn't know you could tell something like that from a sonogram but boy was I excited to hear it. It was really good news. I felt like a breath of fresh air filled the room. She sent mom and I back out to the lobby and told us to wait for my doctor to call us back in.

When my doctor entered the room he did what he always does. He greeted mom and I with a handshake, hello, and sincere smile. He too was excited about what the sonogram showed. He said the sonogram showed an egg ready to drop from my right ovary. He then proceeded to say that he would like to give me an HCG shot. He explained that this would produce another egg doubling our chances. He asked my 3 times if I would be OK with "TWINS".....ugh, let me think......YES!!  I got the HCG shot which guaranteed I would produce another egg in about 30 hours. So hubby and I had specific directions on when we should "do our homework" :) Friday, when we did our "homework" we found out there was a full moon. We also found out that if we did indeed conceive that night, our baby would be due on 11-11-11 - WOW! I could only imagine.

The Doctor also wanted to cover the possibility of my levels dropping like they have done in the past so he put me on prometruim with my lovenox shots. I started pills and shots in the stomach yesterday. (2-21-11) Best part of that is the shots I use to have to pay hundreds of dollars for were now only 10 dollars!!! God must have his hand in this, right? The timing has never worked out like this, along with the price of all the medicine. There was no stress involved. Or should I say, no ADDED stress involved. You can't help but to wonder and worry a little bit, but overall I feel like I have done a pretty good job of keeping myself positive and calm.

In 12 or so days we will know if it all worked out or not. Of course I can't help but think about TWINS, but God knows that I will be perfectly happy and grateful with just one happy healthy baby. I contacted a few of you to pray for us during our 3 days of "homework" but our fight is not over yet. Please if you are reading this, pray for us. Not just now but anytime we might cross your mind. Even if there is a transformation taking place, right now, in my tummy, as I type this, it will not be the end of our battle.

Here's to hoping that it is actually our time.

PS I found out another friend is prego and she is due in September. I was so excited when she told me because that would make our kiddos two month apart..... PLAY DATES :)
