Trying Something New

Well, today began round 2 of fertility treatment. Today is day 3. I began taking medication again today- this time, just another med. This drug is called Letrazole or (Femara). It's just a different fertility drug that Dr. B wanted to try on me. He called me last week to inform me that my progesterone level that we had drew a couple of weeks ago was normal, yet again, showing I had ovulated. He asked me what we were thinking as far as our treatment coming up. I told him that we had begun discussing the IUI possibiltiy and we may just want to try and go forward with it. So... when I started my cycle Friday, I called the nurse and we got everything set up. I started the medication today- I will take it the same as I did the Clomid (on days 3-7). Then I will go in for an ultrasound on Tuesday 11/13. They will look and see if my egg is where it needs to be basically. They will also give me a shot of a medicine called Ovidrel. This drug helps in releasing the mature egg, to assist in getting pregnant. The following day, I will go back to the office with Eric and the IUI procedure will be done.
I am really anxious about it all. Quite nervous... lots of emotions and questions... what if  this is the month?! Will I be able to keep this pregnancy? What if it's not? What will we do next? Will we try another procedure or just try on our own? Will there be anything else medicine and technology can do for us besides IVF? There are so many questions. Your prayers are appreciated as the coming weeks are going to be draining in more ways than one. I have a lot on my mind and I try my best to stay focused on what's important. I know that God has His hand in this. I know He is going to bless us when He sees fit. My constant prayer is that we will remain in His Word and obedient to Him through all of this. I know He is preparing us for something grand, that we can't even fathom now. I know this is just another one of life's trials and I am in the valley, but will soon be on the mountaintop again and I CAN'T WAIT! :)
