Backing way up to Friday, February 10. My mom and I go into the doctors office (me with a VERY full bladder) only to learn that we are still waiting on the biopsy results from Maryland. I am still taken to the back, sonogramed, confirmed full bladder and that I have lots of fluid in my abdomen. This usually happens when they get this many eggs but thankfully the doctor confirms that I'm still ok to get the transfer today! THANK YOU GOD! I'm finally allowed to tt "just a little out to make me more comfortable." We sit and wait until my bladder is full again, another sono and get to tt a little more out. It is now about 12:20ish, the nurse comes in to say that they have gotten word from Maryland that our test results won't be back until 3:30. I run to the bathroom! Are you kidding me?!?! We have to wait longer to hear how healthy our littles are?!?
Mama and I go eat, find a cute shop with lots of antique couches that I sit on all over the store because I'm now full of fluid and food! OUCHIE!
Around 3pm we are back in the parking lot sitting in the sun and filling my bladder again. We go into the office for more sonos and waiting, THEN FINALLY word from Maryland!
Out of the 10 that were biopsied we had 3 healthy little Ehlers eggs!!! SO HAPPY!!! They put back baby #2 and baby #10.........TODAY'S DATE!!! ;)
Now starts the dreaded TWW (two week wait)! I go back in for blood work Wednesday, February 15 and learn that my hormone levels are looking good! THANK YOU GOD!!!!
FINALLY the TWW is over! I go in Wednesday, February 22, get my blood work done and then leave the office just to wait again for the phone call! The call comes about 12:50ish (during recess) and I bust out in tears after learning THAT GOD HAS MOVED A MOUNTAIN! IT'S A HEALTHY POSITIVE!!!! My HCG level is in the 200's!!!! In most healthy pregnancies the HCG level will double within 48-72 hours so I'm asked to come back for more blood work on Friday. It was 488!!!
ZACH AND I ARE THANKING GOD EVERY MINUTE!
Now once again we are waiting for another two weeks. UGH!!! We will go in for our first sonogram Friday, March 9. We can't wait to see a perfect heartbeat(s) and to meet out little BE('s) (Baby Ehlers)!
We are continuing to PRAY BIG, TRUST BIG!
And Jesus answered saying to them, "Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you." (Mark 11:22-24)
To me, the "believes" in verse 24 means "Trust me with your prayers. I hear them and will use them to glorify my name." His answers could be quite different from the mountains I wanted cast into the sea. I wouldn't be writing this today had I not had the gift of those four years dealing with infertility. Yes, I said gift. God DID hear my (our) prayers. My relationship with Him grew exponentially as He was my constant source of strength. (Thank you to Join the Journey)
