Renewed Hope

I hope that everyone is doing just great!! We are doing much better. We went to see RE yesterday and he provided us with a much needed renewed hope!! We are actually thinking there is still a chance for us to conceive on our own!!

RE explained that the cyst that I ended up with this time was not caused by the shots. He thinks that the shots irritated it and caused it to enlarge. But, he is still so certain that our case is easy and that he CAN get us PG!!! I even asked the nurse if she's ever heard him say, "I am done, there is nothing more to do." She told us that he says that a lot!! She assured us that if he wasn't confident that he would be successful with us, he wouldn't try. He is sensitive to the money aspect and doesn't mess around with people.

So ...WHEWWWW!!! I just knew that we would get that "there's nothing more to do" speech! Hooray!! I know better than to get my hopes up, but we were so excited when we left his office. I hate that, too --because if we hit another block in the road, ooooooh man, does it hurt!!!!!

I am staying busy with getting things ready to return to school. It is a huge undertaking getting the classroom ready and all materials good-to-go!! I had to move rooms again this year and things are just piled up looking at me!! But, it will all come together very soon and before we know, the school year will be over. Time just absolutely flies by!! It is true that time flies when you're having fun -- because we have a blast!!!

I am enjoying so much talking to everyone!! It's very interesting to hear everyone's stories. I appreciate the support from fellow journal writers, as well as those writing in with comments, support, and questions. I am sending lots of PG dust to everyone and lots of prayers and hugs!!

Toodles,
Amy
