Overjoyed

I feel so blessed! God has created a miraculous change in my body, and I'm completely overjoyed. As of Friday, my uterine lining was 4mm--much too thin for implantation of embryos--and now it is 8.3mm! The ultrasound technician couldn't believe the dramatic change, so she measured it a second time just to be sure. Praise the Lord--this kind of transformation can only be from Him!

Additionally, the ultrasound showed 18+ follicles that are growing steadily. That's a very good thing. I'll know more about the hormone levels and the overall progress this afternoon when I speak with Dr. Silber's team.

Because of the positive change in my lining, I will now be able to undergo the egg aspiration and empbryo transfer this month. The target dates remain the same (Dec. 17th and 20th, respectively), and we are thankful that Dad and Mom Wicht will be coming to help during that time.

Please pray that things will continue to go well and that IVF will lead to a child (or two)! Also, pray that my health will improve, as I am battling an upper respiratory infection.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support. May Christ's love fill your heart this Advent season!
