The update you've been waiting for!

And no I'm not pregnant...yet. But I DID go in and meet with our wonderful IVF Coordinator. I was really nervous about starting to talk about another cycle...it was so difficult to lose our two embryos the first time, and I am terrified of another failed cycle. I'm scared of losing a 3rd embie, having 3 precious babes in heaven and none here on earth. This is our last embryo...if he or she doesn't take, we start this process all over again. Or do we? I don't know what we'll do.

But I know this babe needs and deserves a chance at life...and so we are moving forward! By the grace of God, we will get through this cycle no matter what it brings! And hopefully, prayerfully, it will bring us our long awaited child that will stay here home with us for many years to come.

All that being said...they are doing exactly the cycle we wanted to do! I am SO EXCITED. NO BC, NO Lupron...just an FET based on my natural cycle. My body will prepare to ovulate and they will monitor me. When I'm ready to ovulate, they will give me a trigger shot to force ovulation so they know exactly when it happened. I will start progesterone and 5 days later they will transfer our remaining embryo. It is EXACTLY the kind of cycle I wanted!!! And as it turns out, they HAVE done cycles like this before...I feel very comfortable with it.

And the BEST news....we're doing this all next month!! My cycle is due in about a week and they expect transfer to be around the 15th or 16th of February, all depending on when my cycle actually arrives. Can you believe it?!? God is SO good and SO faithful...and we will continue to trust in Him.

And so, stepping out in faith, I bought this little number today. If all goes well, we will have a babe in our arms come November time, and this will be a perfect outfit for our precious snowflake:
