Progesterone Results

Last Friday, April 8th, I had to go up to Dr. Mody's office to have my blood drawn for a progesterone check. I literally was in there maybe 5 minutes. I checked in, the technician called me back, took me straight to the chair, poked my right arm and sent me to check out. It was a whirlwind of a visit!! The technician told me that I would get my results back on Monday. I confirmed with her that this was just to test ovulation and she said yes. I headed out the door and that was that!

We enjoyed a great weekend with our best friends. John and Josh got our deck stained while Emily and I took Julianna shoe shopping. She got some cute little white sandals for the summer. The boys did such a great job on our deck--it's SO pretty!! It's a dark brown/reddish color (doesn't look that dark in the pic but it is DARK!) They are going to do Josh's deck this weekend! Check out the pic below.

John also surprised me by picking up a can of Valspar Positively Pink satin paint for my office! I've been wanting to put some color on these walls for a while and it was a lovely surprise! I'm hoping we can get it done sometime this week and I'll post pics of the finished room. But of course, I couldn't wait to see how the color would look, so I had to smear some on the wall. Check it out!

By the time Monday morning came, I had forgotten all about my progesterone test! I guess I "knew" I ovulated because I had felt those crazy little bursts last Sunday. So I was surprised when I saw Wendover OB/GYN pop up on my phone around 10:30 a.m. yesterday! Heather, one of Dr. Mody's nurses, told me that my level was at a 20, so that's good. She sounded positive, but I have no idea what that means, so I asked her what the scale was. She said that anything over an 8 indicated ovulation had occured. She said even if it was a 9 they would know that I had ovulated. And since Friday was my day 20 of my cycle (you are supposed to be tested on day 21), she said it may have even been higher on Saturday. But of course they aren't open on Saturday so I couldn't be tested then!

In true fashion of someone that has been dealing with infertility, I asked, "Now what--what's the next step?" She told me the next thing was just to wait and see if my period came or not. If it doesn't, to take a test and call them with the results. If it does, call them to figure out the next cycle. And that was that!

I called John to let him know that I did definitely ovulate. He was excited to hear this as we realized our procedure wasn't a waste as long as I ovulated! We both knew that I did because of the bursts--but we felt better knowing for SURE! So now it's just a waiting game. We are praying for God's will to be done but also praying that we are in fact pregnant this month! We appreciate everyone that is praying with us!!
