Results.

Estrogen levels and ultrasound results are back... and they are good! Phew! Thank you, Lord!
The nurse called me this morning to say that she was switching my medication to the next part of the controlled cycle. This means that I'll start taking medication to get me to start a period, and once that starts, I can start taking birth control until my transfer date.
I'll need to pray about whether to start taking the BC now, or wait until it gets closer to the transfer. Still in my heart of hearts, I hope that we'll be able to get preggers on our own and not have to go back to Tenn, but as I'm even writing this, with where my thyroid levels are at right now, it is very unlikely we'd be able to conceive, and even if we did, miscarriage/birth defects are very likely results. There's also a lot of benefit to being on BC before a transfer -- it would "save" my own eggs for down the road (seems like a silly reason), but also because if there is any inflammation, endometriosis, etc., being on BC clears those up before the transfer.
So, see, there God has just spoken to me! Ha ha. Go on BC. Love how He does that. Thank you, Lord! ; )
So, I guess we'll go on BC.
I go back to get my thyroid levels re-checked in mid-July. If they are not within the "sweet spot" by then, they'll likely alter the medication and I'll have to wait another 6 weeks for results. That would put us at early Sept and dangerously close to having to move the transfer to Nov anyway. Just need to rest and trust that the Lord has continued to confirm we're supposed to be on this path, and that His timing alone is perfect.
I did connect with the nurse that is doing the matching process and she said she's working on the July matches now and then she'll start on the Sept matches. I don't expect to hear anything for several weeks.
So that's probably it for postings from me for a while. Nothing really should be happening until I take TSH levels in mid-July.

Thanks for all your prayers and support!

  1. I will continue to pray daily that God gives you confirmation on your path- you're so brave.

    Praise God on the good test results- that's music to my ears (again!).

  2. Just so you know, they usually wait until 5-6 weeks out from your transfer before sending the profiles for matching. We are just getting ours this week and we're 5 weeks out. They like to wait until they know the results from the previous transfers.

  3. Sorry- I didn't realize you were doing an open adoption. I really don't know when they start the matching process with those. I'm sure it's sooner than the anonymous ones!
