Welcome to the IVF Rollercoaster

I awoke this morning to the alarm of cramping and heavy bleeding. The nurse at Dr. Silber's office told me that we should be able to locate the cause during my ultrasound Friday morning. In the meantime, I am supposed to continue with the medication regimen. Although the nurse told me "not to be too concerned," I don't have a good feeling about this (yes, I know feelings can't always be trusted). I am concerned that whatever is causing this bleeding may result in the cancellation of our IVF. If that happens, the procedure will be postponed indefinitely, and we will lose a great deal of time and money.

I guess I have just embarked on the emotional rollercoaster of IVF. I must say that I didn't expect for it to take such a dramatic turn right out of the gate. Even though I feel anxious about this complication, I know that God is in control and that His plan is better than anything I could devise. Please pray that the cause of the bleeding is not serious and that the IVF process would continue and be successful. Also, pray that God will grant me peace of mind and stamina to take care of Liliana and the many items on my "to do" list.

Thanks for your support!
Blessings,
Ramona

Praying for you and that the cramping & bleeding wouldn't mean anything.

Ramona,
We can trust that this is the hands of our Savior, although discouraging and confusing, and SAD. Friday will seem so far away. I will pray for your peace and comfort (physical and emotional) for tomorrow (Thursday).
I love you, my friend.

Ramona,

I have been praying for you and I hope that you are able to conceive soon. I would love to have another niece or nephew. Please continue to keep us updated. Give Liliana hugs and kisses for us.

Love,
Shawna
