The Little Bean Blog: Egg Retrieval Surgery
http://thelittlebeanblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/egg-retrieval-surgery.html
The Little Bean Blog. Wednesday, March 2, 2011. They were able to retrieve 8 eggs. The valium and drugs they give are lovely because when I woke up I felt as though I had slept for 12 hours, ha. I'm a little crampy still and a bit out of it but no worse for the wear. Now only time will tell whether any of those eggs grow into healthy embryos. I need to just let go at this point. No amount of worrying is going to change the outcome It's all in God's hands. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Little Bean Blog. Sunday, February 6, 2011. Very recently Joe and I decided to wade into unknown waters and pursue an IVF (in vitro fertilization) cycle. This whole infertility process has brought out a lot of pain and sadness and has felt like it has pushed at my faith at times. But He has been there and is there every step of the way. Then in my bible group the beautiful circle of woman I study with asked if they could pray over me. I felt so blessed. He started with the story of Abraham and Sarah.

The Little Bean Blog: Betas
http://thelittlebeanblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/betas.html
The Little Bean Blog. Friday, March 18, 2011. Today I received the news from my second beta blood test. We went from 365 to 698 which the nurse was very happy about! I have officially graduated from morning monitoring and blood work until my first ultrasound at 5 1/2 weeks on the March 29th. That's when we will find out if there are one or two beans growing. I have to include a shot of the bean since it's been so long. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hi there and welcome! View my complete profile.

The Little Bean Blog: Sun shining down
http://thelittlebeanblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/sun-shining-down.html
The Little Bean Blog. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Yesterday was a big day, our embryo transfer. In the morning I kept waiting for a call that we wouldn't be able to proceed; that our embryos hadn't made it. There were so many times this cycle when I received bad calls, I was just preparing myself for it. We were nearly cancelled 3 times in 2 weeks. And now we just sit and wait. I will have my pregnancy test next Wednesday. I firmly believe that our embryos did so beautifully because of the prayers that were ...

The Little Bean Blog: Testimony
http://thelittlebeanblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/testimony.html
The Little Bean Blog. Saturday, February 19, 2011. Thursday I went in for what is called a supression check. The doctors are looking to make sure that you have no follicles (eggs) that are maturing and your hormone levels are in the right range to start a cycle. I received a call in the afternoon that my bloodwork was a bit off so they wanted me to come in and retest in the morning. I hung up the phone and nearly collapsed on the floor. God is so gracious and faithful that I just don't even feel wort...

The Little Bean Blog: Leaning on Him
http://thelittlebeanblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/leaning-on-him.html
The Little Bean Blog. Thursday, January 20, 2011. That's what I am doing today after finding out we are not pregnant. Heartbroken. Our insurance does not cover any of these treatments and so I researched individual insurance and discovered yet another door closed in my face today. There is not one insurance company that will cover any portion of fertility treatment for an individual. Will Charlie ever be able to know the joy of having a sibling, am I unfit? Please just tell me if I need to move on. Anywa...

The Little Bean Blog: Charlie's Room
http://thelittlebeanblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/charlies-room-update.html
The Little Bean Blog. Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Here's a look at the bean's room as it is today:. To dos are to get a bible verse up on the wall above C's crib and slipcover the glider myself. Yes the train table takes up half of the room but he loves it (as you can see). I would never have considered putting furniture in front of a window, but i love it there! Perfect place. the rooms is picture-perfect.so soothing, yet lots of room for fun! January 25, 2011 at 10:12 AM. What a great boys room! Our Two...

The Little Bean Blog: The first half of January
http://thelittlebeanblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/first-half-of-january.html
The Little Bean Blog. Thursday, January 13, 2011. The first half of January. We started with a similar course of treatment as last month (femara 5 mg for days 3-7 and then injected with gonal for 3 days) and I went in on day ten to have my ultrasound. My doctor said I had a great response, almost too good. He scared me a bit with the way he grappled with whether to cancel the cycle or to go ahead with our IUI plan. Last weekend was such a crazy and strange time. Joe and I had to go to the office for ...

The Little Bean Blog: A Month in Pictures
http://thelittlebeanblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/month-in-pictures.html
The Little Bean Blog. Tuesday, December 28, 2010. A Month in Pictures. Here is what we've been up to for the month of December. Cuddling with Daddy on chilly nights. Chatting it up with Santa (don't mind the not so friendly elf). Building and decorating gingerbread houses (thank you Ikea for a $4 set). Visiting the big, big city (so bummed the beans eyes were closed in this shot). For parties, teachers, friends, mailmen and garbage men. Dining with our closest moose friends. What a lovely post and beauti...

The Little Bean Blog: Greener than Kermit
http://thelittlebeanblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/greener-than-kermit.html
The Little Bean Blog. Monday, April 11, 2011. Thank God Joe has picked up the slack in every department. He has been helping with cleaning, laundry and cooking (breakfast for dinner)or picking up food. The house is definitely not up to Mommy's level of expectation, but it will have to do for now and I'm just thankful I have a husband that will help in every way he can. And my definition of a clean house borders on the slightly OCD. April 12, 2011 at 3:28 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Creative C...
