Updates to try number three....

Some of you may have been wondering what the latest is....Its been a crazy and emotional three months.  Three months of medicating and hoping and praying (plus all the time on our own before that).  I warn you, this may be a relatively long post.

When the doctor did the tube test she was expecting different results. She said if she was the doctor she may even reconsider the course of action as to not waste money, or try only once or twice, however, she would leave that decision up to our doctor.  We are very glad he decided to give us the go ahead to try.  As we talked about before, we weren't sure what we would do if this didn't work. We are nearing the end of our money and time for now. We were thinking that the most likely possibility of having another child was to look into foster-to-adoption, and do foster care for a while.  Well, as it turns out, as of today that won't be necessary because we are pregnant! :) :) :). ((By the way not ready to tell the world yet, since we are not far along at all, so please don't post anything on facebook or tell people other than those who live in your house, thanks!)) We are so excited about this.  We want to thank all of you for your faith, prayers and support.  As we said before we really felt we would get pregnant again, at least one more time, but didn't know when that time would be. So we ask for you continued prayers that this child will grow and stay. Our percent of miscarriage is about 30% compared to the normal 15-20%, so a little higher. However, the knowledge this can work for us and at least one tube must be good enough is so freeing.  This definatly leaves us hope that if this didnt work out, it is possible to get pregnant, however slight the chances. We are greatful for modern medicine! We are also greatful to the Lord who has heard our prayers and others. We know this is another miracle!  Normally we would not tell anyone so early, but with our situation and the blog people would start asking sooner or later and we need as many prayers/good thoughts as possible!

We feel so blessed. We know a lot of our friends and family who go through simular issues have not been able to find solutions yet, and I know how hard that is.  We pray for them.  We don't know why sometimes God answers sincere prayer with yes, and others still have to wait for that blessing. But we know all works out for the best.  To those in this situation, keep moving forward, we love you!!

I felt the first time we went to the clinic we were doing the right thing. Not only we were doing the right thing, but it was the right timing to try this as well.  For those of you who don't know Michael just got a new job and into nursing school, both of which start soon, so I feel the timing couldn't be better.  If he was super busy it would be difficult to do the treatments, and the money would have run out long ago.

Again thanks for the prayers and support through this difficult trial in our lives. We truly feel that and are very appreciative. Stay tuned to make sure the pregnancy goes well, and see if we have one, two or three on the way.  Hopefully one or maybe two, don't know how we would deal with three!! But we will take whatever we get and we will be extremly greatful no matter what the case!

For information, we will take a second blood test this week to see if we are still pregnant, and if we are will schedule an ultrasound for the next week. Wish us luck!!!!
