Today, I did not pray for success...
Today, I did not ask for a blessing..
Today I did not ask God why...
Today I did not get excited...nor scared.
Today I simply asked for strength and I asked for faithfulness!
Today, I left everything else up to God!

Today I went for my 7th follicle scan, I didn't know what the outcome would be...I didn't know if I would be leaving with a canceled cycle, or if I would be leaving with just having an IUI procedure done.
Zach went up to Austin last night to stay with his brother since he had to be in the office at 7am. He had to work today and he and I both knew that he didn't need to wake up at 4:30 to head to Austin when he could just stay there... so, my father and my brother rode with me today, it was extremely nice being able to spend the day with them. We arrived in the office early and as we sat there and watched the fish in front of us I honestly can say I wasn't the slightest bit nervous. Last night I prayed-really hard-I asked God for strength and for tomorrow (today) to hold the blessings of him; whatever they may be.
The lady called me back, my dad and brother said good luck and off I went--the nurse came in and asked if I was nervous or if I was ok...I told her I was fine, I'm leaving the nervousness to God...she said that's the best way to do it! While I sat on that table and waited for my Dr. to come in I prayed. I prayed that God give me strength to accept whatever plan he has in store for us...
The Dr. came in and started the ultrasound...tons of follicle were in my ovaries...(that's what I was hoping to see...) I knew if I didn't see any we were in trouble...however did any release? There were so many in there still...I turned my head and for the first time in my whole trying to conceive journey I did not look at the ultrasound machine, I looked up...I prayed in my head-didn't asked questions and just waited patiently for the results.
Once she was done I sat up, she went over to the counter and was adding a lot of things up...comparing Sunday's measurements with today's...she said "2 released from your left side....none from your right"....my voice cracked "That's good right??....that's what we what???" She said, "well....there are still one or 2 more that look as they can release--but they haven't yet"...my heart was pounding, I didn't know whether to cry because I was happy, sad, angry, or just to cry....I said "so can I have the IUI..." she looked at me with a huge smile and said "Yes...you can; just as long as you know that you could have a possibility of 1 or 2 more follicles dropping..."....with tears streaming down my face I said "yes, I understand...thank you...thank you thank you!"
And before I knew it I was being prepped for an IUI. It happened so fast and I believe I cried and smiled the whole way through it.
I know this will not guarantee I will get pregnant, I've already had 2 IUI's in the past (with Clomid)...neither took...I don't know whats in store for me and my husband, but I do know that this cycle was one of the hardest, craziest, hectic, complicated, and best roller coaster I've ever been on. Zach and I bonded in ways I never though we would have to, I cried in his arms many nights (mostly due to crazy hormones)...I most def. hope and pray this takes and that Zach and I will be on the road to parenthood soon, however whatever God's plan is...I'm ok with; he knows best and I trust him!!
So know we are officially in the wait. I go back in 2 weeks for blood work!! :)
A big thank you to Ashley for keeping everyone updated!! Thank you to everyone for the comments, prayers, texts, support and calls...I had 80 emails when I got home from today's appt...I read each and everyone of them and cried the whole way through. You all are so amazing, so nice and so caring. We are very blessed to have the support from all of y'all...I do have more purple pictures and emails I need to answer back to, I am going to lay down and take it easy, but the pictures will be up soon and I will respond to y'alls emails shortly. Again, Zach and I are very thankful for all of y'alls generosity.

i had an IUI also this morning and i will pray that yours is successfull. i was looking for infertility blogs when i found yours. I am new to the infertility process and wanted to say thanks for being willing to share what is going on in your life. it is actually very comforting to read about others experiences. i wish you all the best.
Praying in Arkansas. Girl I am tearing up just reading today's post. I am so excited for you. I have been there and done that, only with IVF, but that waiting period was the longest and hardest ever. Hang in there and try to just give it all to God. If this didn't take, we all know God's timing isn't now. Praying, praying, praying.
Congrats! I had 4 mature follicles when I triggered before my IUI and am now pregnant with a singleton. :)
what amazing news so glad to hear that you were able to get the IUI!
I CANNOT tell you how happy I am about this!
I'm going to join the others in hope and faith and tell you that I'm VERY excited for your day! The beggining of your post touched me deeply; God doesn't require it, but He truly adores our humbleness.
Congrats! Hope it takes:)
I'll be praying for you during the TWW. Hoping for that BFP! But know matter what God has a plan and it bigger than all of us. SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!

I was practically shaking as I read this post...hoping there would be good news in there!! I'm so happy you were able to move forward with the IUI...and even though you did Clomid before with an IUI, you've changed things up a bit and sometimes that's all your body needs to kick into gear!
Wishing you the best of luck!
