I have to tell you “if it aint one thing, its another”. I went to the doctor last week and they found 2 renegade cysts. What this means is at the beginning of an IVF (invitro-fertilization) cycle they start by giving you birth control pills (a very low dose). When you take these pills, they should quiet your ovaries and your follicles (eggs) should stay small. Well 2 of my eggs protested being small and just kept on growing and growing to the tune of 17, 19. They should be under 8. So I have to stop the process and wait until my cycle starts again and then I can start again. I am how would you say “Tired as hell”. I am starting to lean more toward adoption. I am not giving up. I will wait until my cycle comes and begin a new cycle. I will tell you all about it whenever Mrs.Flow decides to visit. Faith truly is the substance or essence of things hoped for and it is also the evidence of those things which we can’t see. I am 40 years young 1 month ago tomorrow. I can see myself pregnant but I can also see myself adopting (which gives me the chance to turn back the clock) Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
