The Ingram’s – Our saying has always been when it’s right it’s right and when you know, you know. And we knew we were meant to spend a lifetime together immediately. We live on the TN river in Rogersville, AL, and are true to the core “river rats”. We absolutely love spending every minute possible in and on the water with friends and family, and we are very blessed that our families live close to us. We enjoy anything outdoors- wakeboarding, surfing, skiing, fishing, hunting, and traveling. But we also both share the same dream to have a family. I remember when we were doing our pre-martial counseling with our preacher that he asked us how many kids we wanted to have and we said 4. And yes we would still love a house full, and we still have hopes for 4. But it appears that we will be very blessed if we are able to have just one. So far we have experienced a very emotional and physical journey trying to see our dream of having children come true. But this is our story-The Ingram’s River Ride, and we wanted to have a way so that all of our friends and family from near and far could have a way to keep up with what was going on with our baby journey. So sit back and enjoy our “river ride”. I want to be sure and say first of all that if it wasn’t for the following I wouldn’t have made it through all of this # 1 God and the faith and hope he provides # 2 Jason– he is my rock- the love and care he gives me is so amazing to me and # 3 The love and support from SO MANY who we are blessed to call our friends and family from near and far. We are RICHLY blessed to have so many people who care about us and pray for us and please know that we are so grateful for each and every one of you. I have tried to go back and capture everything that has happened in the last year so I am sure I will forget some things. And I might as well apologize ahead of time if the blog seems as though a 4th grader is submitting the posts because I have a hard time putting my thoughts on paper and that along with my “kuntry lingo” should be interesting. :)




Change of Plans - Wednesday May 13, 2010

Today was an emotional roller coaster. I ended up talking with the doctor 4 times today and finally around 4pm they called with a "change of plans". They got my results back from my blood work from earlier in the day, and my fsh level was too high to do ivf. Mine is normally high (high isnt a good thing), but it was the highest it has ever been today. So Dr. Honea said she didn't have a good feeling about trying to do invitro this cycle with that high of an fsh level. Fsh measures how well your ovaries are functioning and is also indicative of your egg reserve, and a high number means you have a lower reserve than you should have and that your ovaries arent functioning as they should. So the new plan is to sit this cycle out, wait a month, and they will check me in a month to see if my fsh level dropped, if my cysts went away, and hopefully by then we will have a bunch of follicles on the ultrasound (there was only three today, which also isnt enough to do ivf). So like I said yesterday, "When God has another plan, walk on and just say yes and know that He knows best." :) Prayer warriors please be praying for a low fsh level, no cysts, and lots of follicles next month. Thank you all so much for your love, prayers, and support!

It melts my heart to read this and to know that thru it all, you two are still keeping your eyes and hearts focused on the most important thing...Gods will and His plan for your lives. My prayer daily is that our will lines up with His will. He knows the desires of our hearts, just keep praying. Love you two, Mom
