The Results Are In...

Well, just as I was publishing my last journal entry, the phone rang...and it was Dr. Pineda's nurse calling with our test results. Freaky.

Good news! Our chromosome analysis was completely normal. Wade is 46xy and I am 46xx, which is normal and correct typing. There was no balance trans-location (mismatch of chromosomes). Translation: everything is A-OK, and we can proceed with fertility treatments in a couple months. According to our specialist, I need to have one "resting" cycle to stabilize my uterine lining (for successful embryo implantation). In the meantime, we will prayerfully consider which route we are going to take. Most likely, our best option will be a 2nd round of IVF.

We should receive additional results of the fetal genetic testing any day. Although the outcome won't tell us why we've had recurrent miscarriages, it will give us an indication of what happened with this child. The most important analysis was that of our chromosomes, and we are so thankful that all is well.

Please pray that the Lord will illuminate His will for our family and guide us through this trial. It is our desire to take the first available opportunity to conceive another child, but our greater goal is to go where God leads us.
