An answer to prayer

The Lord has answered our prayers! The bleeding has ceased! As of last evening the bleeding completely disappeared and has not returned since. That is a relief. My Dr. called me this morning and I told him that I was no longer bleeding and he was very relieved as well. He said that my blood work on Thursday indicated that my estradiol was rising, but it is not quite as high as it was the last time we did IVF. He said if I was still bleeding today, he would be concerned, but since it has stopped, he is not. I don't completely feel out of the woods, so please continue praying for my estradiol to rise so that I do not bleed anymore. Actually, we would like this to be the last time I bleed for a very long time :)

The shots are still going well. We look forward to checking it off our list each evening, knowing that the injections are causing my eggs to grow each and every day. I can feel my ovaries beginning to swell, which is also a good indicator of growth.

I'm still not sure if Paul will be able to come to my appt. on Monday morning, but I'm praying that he will. I will know more Sunday evening after he talks with the other docs. Which, by the way, they have been so supportive of Paul taking time off for various IVF reasons. I'm incredibly grateful for Paul's job and the support that we have received from the people that he works with. We are blessed, blessed, blessed. Thank you for all of your provisions, God.
