"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
For the past week or so I have really felt God telling me that it's okay to share the struggles that Kody and I have been facing for over a year and a half now and to ask for prayer. So here it goes. For the past 19 months we have been on the journey of infertility. September of 2008 we decided for me to get off of birth control and to start trying. In January of 2009 I had blood work and discovered that I may have something called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). So in February I had an ovary ultra sound that confirmed me having PCOS. Basically, having PCOS means that I don't ovulate on my own. Since then, I have had more blood work, an HSG procedure, which checks my fallopian tubes, and I have been on a fertility drug called Clomid. September of 2009 is when I started 50 mg of Clomid. I did another 50 mg in October and then I did another 3 months of 100 mg. In March my doctor wanted to do one more month of Clomid but at 150 mg and have me also take Metformin which works well with Clomid. Needless to say I am tired of taking medicine!
With all of this said and much prayer, we have decided to seek a fertility specialist. We are very excited about this next step in our journey and have heard great things about our doctor. We have an appointment on April 13th. We trust in God and know that his plans are perfect. Please pray for us as we continue this process and that the Lord will answer our heart's desire to have a child.
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7
