Doing Okay

I know it's been a little while since I posted. I just needed time to think and just be. I still don't even really know what to say. We are heartbroken and discouraged that it did not work this time. The only thing we know for sure is that it wasn't God's timing. I know that should be comforting...and it is, it is just still SO hard to understand. I know that God is faithful and He is still here with us.

We have 3 embryos that are frozen so the next step will be trying a Frozen Cycle. I am not sure when we will try that. I think right now my body just needs a little rest. We will meet with the doctor in a few weeks to discuss this last attempt and talk about the frozen cycle. Stuart and I have a lot of questions we would like to ask.

So for now...we are just being still and waiting on God to tell us what to do next. We truly feel that we are in His will, even though it may not seem like it. Someday...when He's ready, we will be ready, and it will be perfect! Please continue to lift us up in prayer! We still need those prayers more than ever now!

Sarah just because it wasn't successful this time DOES NOT mean you were outside of His wll. IT DOES NOT!!! Success if following the Lord does not always equal what we view as earthly success.
I am glad you shared your plans with us, now we can pray specifically =)
I am begging the Lord to grant you peace!!

I just came across your blog and wanted to say that you are in our prayers!! I too went through IVF twice without success. It is so hard on the body and its hard when all of that was for nothing!! We had three embryos that were frozen and we did a Frozen cycle two years ago and it worked! We have a beautiful one year old now and it was all worth it! The frozen cycle is so much easier because you are not preparing your body for this intense procedure and everything felt a little more relaxed. Just wanted to let you know I am praying for you and it is hard but God has a reason for it!

Hey Sarah,

I saw your post on the Living Proof blog just now. I too, and going to be doing in vitro in May probably, for the first time. We did 5 IUI's this past year. Now, we are going to try in vitro. I will definitely pray for you. I understand completely how hard it is to learn you are not pregnant. I've had to go through that five times now. The Lord is good, Sarah, I've been reassured that no matter if I have any biological children or not, He still loves me indescribably, so be encouraged that He loves you deeply. In Him is light, and there is no darkness at all, He does have plans to prosper us, not to harm us, to give us a hope and a future. Blessings to you,

Thanks for leaving a message on my blog. I'm glad I found your site. I am so envious of the true faith you have. I wish mine was as strong as it used to be. I've been much lonelier since I started wondering if God heard my prayers.
Taking a little rest will probably be good for your body. The frozen cycle is less medication, but can take a little longer depending on whether or not your lining gets thick enough. I had a lot of trouble with that. Eventually we transferred, but it ended with a BFN.
Sending lots of good wishes your way.

I am so sorry! I will keep you in my daily prayers and pray for God to wrap you in His arms and give you His grace. Your yorkies are precious! Love and Hugs!!
