We had our last endometrial biopsy on June 12 after trying a new combination of medicine. We were hopeful but when we got to the doctor, he told us he was doubtful this new combination would make me "in phase". We kept our hopes high though and waited the long wait to find out the results. Four days later, the nurse called to tell me the best news - I was in phase!! I couldn't believe it!! I was so excited and I could barely talk when I called David to tell him the news. It was the best feeling!! The nurse told me to call her as soon as I started my period and then we could make plans to "try" next month. So we headed down to the beach with our bags packed and the biggest smiles on our faces. I don't really think we slept that night, we were so happy to have this news!
Well, all that changed on Wednesday! I called the nurse to tell her I had started and we hit the beach with Belle. Late Wednesday afternnon, I get a call from the nurse and she tells me that because I didn't start until Wednesday that it changed everything. I felt crushed! We were so disappointed!! Honestly, I think the nurse was almost as disappointed as we were. But she explained that on Friday, I was "in phase" for that point in my cycle but that I should start by Sunday. I don't really understand all the details really but the bottom line is the medicine didn't do what it should have and we'll have to try something different.
The strong disappointment and discouragement seemed to fade over the next few days. I recently met with the nurse to discuss our next options. We decided to take a break from things this month and next month I will start taking injectable medicines. This medicine does increase your risk for multiples and we are praying we will be blessed with some twins!!! The good thing is that we can try next month and I don't have to do anymore biopsies! Yay!!
This process has been so emotional with so many ups and downs but we find our comfort and our only real hope in the Lord. He alone gives us peace and offers us everlasting hope that doesn't ever disappoint!!!!
