Plan of Action

This morning (Tuesday) I called my RE (reproductive endocrinologist) office. I had to give my monthly cycle start date. The receptionist-extraordinaire started giggling when I told her. She told me she had just spoke with my donor Monday morning. Once again, we are a day apart in starting. This, my friends, has to be purely by the grace of God. 
The receptionist asked when we were planning on going through with the procedure. After sharing that we wanted to go forward with April, she asked another question, "Do you want to start the meds in March and then do the retrieval in April or are you wanting to start the meds in April and do the transfer in May? "

I was kind of stunned. I didn't know what to say. It was my understanding from the consult when my donor was being seen, that since our cycles are synced we only needed to be on birth control for a week. She said she would ask the doctor and get back to me. This afternoon she called back and asked of I was able to come in this week so the Dr and I could discuss all of this in person and come up with a medication protocol. She said that I needed to have a special ultrasound done anyway before too much longer.

So after about 2 months of just waiting for things to progress, it seems like things are picking up. Now that things seem to be moving forward, I am getting nervous and a little bit scared. I have to have a uterine sounding Thursday morning. Normally internal ultrasounds don't hurt, but I am not sure what to expect with this kind of ultrasound. All I know is that a rod will be passed through my cervix to and into the uterus. The will then measure how long my uterus is. I will have to do some research about this procedure,  as I am not sure what the purpose is and why it is important to know the length. 

I am hopeful and trying to stand on faith that this is going to work and it is happening in God's timing. There has been too much going on that suggests otherwise. I know that fear is not from God. I know that it is from the Devil and I need to cast those doubts aside when they creep into my mind. Please pray that things go smoothly Thursday morning and the timing is perfect. Pray that my donor has things fall in place for her and her dear family. Pray that things fall into place for Scott and I, so that things can go forward as they are supposed to. Give the doctor discernment and that he will rely on God to help plan out our protocol and timeline.
