I'm not sure how else to put this information "out there" so I'll just do it this way.
We are pregnant.
Our fifth and final try with IVF was a success.
My numbers on Wednesday and then on Friday went up appropriately meaning, as of right now, the pregnancy "has stuck."
We will not know if it is 1 or 2 until we have an ultrasound done in 3 weeks.
As of today, I am considered six weeks pregnant. The ultrasound will be at 9 weeks.
Finding out we are pregnant is, obviously, great news. Happiness. My heart still feels for those who are still waiting.
Thank you to all of you who have been praying for me. Please continue to pray that the anxiety and depression that has nearly crippled me stays far away. I have now gotten some morning sickness and today there was no anxiety or depression. I'll take physically ill over mentally ill any day!
I will update more as I continue to feel better. I am not getting on the computer very much right now so if you email me or Facebook or leave a comment and don't hear back right away, please don't take it personally. I'm just really feeling lead to be with my family and my Jesus. I've cancelled any outside activities for the rest of January so that I can heal and get back to the woman I want to be.
P.S. I apologize for not emailing more people directly. I'm really taking a siesta from computer life as much as I can.
