"For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord.
“They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
Jeremiah 29:11

Jeremiah 29:11
You can't fight God's plan and his timing is much better than mine, but ugh, do I want to try! Just when I thought everything was under control in my ovary world and that our plan was set in stone...the plan changes. If only God would tell us ahead of time so I could be prepared for the change of plans it would be so much easier...but He is a mysterious God.
Tonight was supposed to be my Trigger shot which would have meant that it would be my last night of injections and Tuesday would be my egg retrieval day. Unfortunately, my follies didn't grow to be as big as they needed to be...we need them to reach 18 cm to contain a mature egg, I had five fifteens as of this morning. It's such a double edged sword, they took me off of the follistem medicine for 2 days because they were concerned that I would hyperstimulate, which could then cause me to ovulate early, my ovaries to twist, and also decrease the chances of my embies sticking. I have also been put on a no activity type of bed rest for the next couple of weeks, it's work and then straight the feet up position. No cooking, cleaning, ironing, vacuuming, sweeping, and even no dogs on the lap...I never realized how much stuff I do during the day until I can't do it anymore. Luckily, my hubby made some emergency contacts...first to my Mom for food support, and then to a cleaning lady. My Mom showed up the first night and made us the yummiest dinner ever and then we even got breakfast the next morning. The cleaning lady should be here next week, which is actually really exciting!
So tonight we will pray that the follies grow and my ovaries stay relaxed...and tomorrow morning will be great news at my doctors appointment. And if all goes according to this plan, Wednesday will by my egg retrieval and tomorrow will be my last night of shots. YAY!
But who knows, I'll keep it written in pencil just in case...
