A Tough Week...

This has been a tough week as I approach what would have been my "due date" (Saturday, March 30th). I didn't think that it was bothering me until this past Monday while I was driving to my small group. For some reason, I just wanted to SCREAM! So, I asked for prayer for my frustration as we went through this fertility treatment. When I got home, I started BAWLING. I told BR that it hit me that this week was THE WEEK. I finally came to peace once again with the situation and began to pray that soon we would have our prayers answered.

I was lifted up this week by 2 particular quotes by Joel Osteen. 

"Don’t be intimidated and give up when God's promises don’t look like they will happen. Pray with boldness & know that nothing is too difficult for God."

And on Tuesday, when my period started and I realized that round 1 of Clomid didn't work. [Well, it worked in the fact that I actually ovulated, but....we didn't get pregnant.] SO... The next quote helped in this situation.

"Have the attitude, “God, this is where You have me right now. I may not like it. I may not understand, but I’m going to keep doing my best, knowing that You are going to use this to my advantage.”

Today is better. I have started my 2nd round of Clomid and am praying hard and fast that this round will work.  I am confident in how the medication works and will be more aware of the particular time-line in which everything should fall. I am following the same protocol as last month (see previous post about timing). I will have to say that BR will definitely enjoy this round as we will be more intent in our mission. :) Here's to CLOMID ROUND 2! READY, SET, GO!!

 Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.
