Well, yesterday I started the first meds of many... It seems odd to be on birth control, I had my tubes "tied" in 1996. The medication protocol is different with this clinic. I do not know exactly how different, but this clinic does not use Lupron. They don't use PIO shots they normally use progesterone suppositories. I used and prefer PIO shots. Using shots I know I am getting the exact dose, I can go swimming and have a lot less mess. I love the idea that there is no guessing how much my body is absorbing with the shots.
I do not know the date when I will start any of the other meds. I just know it will be after the contract is signed. The contract won't be given to us for review until I pass the "tests".
Next week we fly up to Connecticut for the medical and psyche screening. I keep joking with my husband that I hope they don't tell him I really am crazy.
The Intended Parents, A & B from now on, are currently reviewing the contract. It will take a week for the blood test results to come back so David and I will probably not see a contract until after Labor day.
I would like a late September early October transfer date, but I need to be on Meds for three weeks before the transfer and I can't guess when the contract will be done and signed. I keep trying to figure out the timing and I just need to give it to God. He knows what I have planned, He knows what I need. I have a business trip in September. We have a family trip planned and paid for in October, we must cancel by September 12, 2011 to get all of our money back. David's mother has asked us to host Thanksgiving this year. I need to go see my parents for Christmas. I have another BIG business trip in February. Maxwell graduates high school in May, and starts college in August. WOW!
Dear Heavenly Father,
I am amazed by your LOVE. The blessing and favor that you rain down on me daily makes me breathless sometimes. I am found speechless when I try to explain it all to those who do not know you, because there are not enough words to express Who and What you are to me. You are my EVERYTHING. Thank you so much for the love, grace, mercy, guidance, laughter, joy, challenges,... Thank you for loving me. Thank you for forgiving me. Holy Spirit please guide my ways that they may shine and point to God. Jesus thank you for the sacrifice, for finishing. You could have walked away at anytime but you stayed for me. Thank you!
In Jesus most precious and holy name,
amen
