2009 Answerd prayers- Answered Questions...

So, Christmas was wonderful and then came New Years. We had plans to go to dinner with some friends to celebrate, and of course a "ruptured cyst" episode happens. So, needless to say, lots of pain and vomiting and bed time at 6pm! Poor Nick, but he was a great sport and is so wonderful!

The next week I went back to the infertility nurses to see if the BC worked on shrinking the cyst that was hanging around my left ovary. I had complete confidence that the Lord had healed me and that after a year of trying to concieve, it was our time!

However, the Lord had other things in store for us. The ultrasound revealed that the cyst had actually GROWN?!!!! The nurse asked my thoughts about surgery and all of a sudden a flow of emotions came over me. They said that it was more than likely endometriosis and that it needed to come out- and soon. My sweet doctor brought me into his office and he told me that it would help me with the pain and that we had a decision to make, we had to decide whether or not to take a drug called Lupron after the surgery that would put my body into a medically induced menopause for 6 months. This is a drug that was intitially made for men with prostate cancer- a pretty strong drug. The surgery was planned for 3 days later.

I went home and just prayed. Everything started to make sense to me... Why I was put on BC when I was 16 for abnormal pain with my period, the "ruptured cysts" and pain I continued to have everymonth AND, why we weren't able to concieve! I just thanked God that we live in such an amazing time of advanced medicine to where we can be fixed and eventually have a family! He is so faithfull and I can't wait to see what he has in store for us!
