Fertility News (because who isn't dying to know!!! haha)

Right now, my reproductive system is attempting to get in the Guinness book for "longest cyle following a miscarriage". So, I called the dr.'s office about it last Friday. The nurse on the phone said that I can call on cycle day 43 (which is tomorrow); when I do this, she can schedule me in for blood testing. The blood test will show whether or not I am pregnant (since it took until 7 weeks last time for me to have a faintly positive home test) and also my progesterone levels. If I had to guess, I would guess that I am not pregnant and that my progesterone level is too low. If that's the case, they will probably give me progesterone to get me all fixed up and hopefully get everything going again. We (Sam, me, and my uterus! haha) are looking forward to some finality to it. Hopefully they will let me come to have the test Thursday so that we can know results before the weekend. We definitely don't know if and when we are going to have a baby. The hardest thing in the world for me to do is to realize and trust that I don't have to have a plan for everything, as God already has it all figured out. The events of the last two months have definitely challenged me in that, and hopefully I've become a little better at it. My hope is that I can have open eyes and ears and make the medical decisions about all this that God wants me to make.

Keep us updated! It is very hard to remember that He is in control and already knows what's in store for you. But it's going to be something wonderful!
