Ladies and Gentlemen, We have been cleared for take off

The runway is clear for take off for my donor and I! I started my cycle yesterday and in a "shocking" turn of events, so did my donor. After letting the doctor know that I was on day one, they called me back about when the doctor wants to see me and to give me the go ahead to start the birth control protocol Sunday. The nurse called me this morning to tell me that my donor started yesterday as well. She told me other info about when she was getting blood work done and such (but I really don't remember what she said as the phone call woke me).

It is absolutely CRAZY how fast things will go from here. I can't really wrap my mind around it. The one thing I need to keep telling myself is to just stay calm. That God has brought me this far, and He will see me through to the end. He is in control. There are times when I think maybe we shouldn't be doing this whole thing, but I quickly realize that those doubts creep in when I am stressed and anxious and want to control things that are out of my control. Now, there are so many pieces of the puzzle working perfectly together that make me think this is exactly what I am supposed to be doing and exactly at the right time.

Last post I listed a laundry list of prayer requests for us during this upcoming 5-6 weeks. Those requests stay the same. One of them was about finances for the medication. Our donor let me know about a week ago that she was not able to get the Lupron covered by her insurance, and that we would have to pay for it. No big deal, we were prepared to have to do such. What I wasn't prepared for was the price that she had been quoted. It was going to be anywhere from $1500-7400 just for that one med. Fast-forward to yesterday, while on the phone with the doctors office I mentioned this situation to the secretary. She told me that she would look into it, because that price seemed very high. Prayers were answered, because she called me back later to tell me she was able to find a pharmacy that would fill it and ship it to my donor for under $500. Thank the Lord!

While her Lupron prayers were answered, I am still waiting to hear from my pharmacy to get the price for all my meds. This one is going to hurt! Praying, praying, praying that it is less than $900.

My donor had a prayer request as well. Can we all pray for her little one? That they adapt quickly to being completely eliminated from nursing? Her little is kind of struggling with it right now, and once she starts her birth control her supply will be finished.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and support! Keep it coming.
