Please pray for my SIL's dad!

My SIL's (married to my husbands' brother) dad is having surgery today. Her mom died about 10 years ago from breast cancer.

They discovered about a week ago that her dad has pancreatic cancer. They live in Ecuador but traveled immediately to Rochester to the Mayo clinic. They got there on Monday and he is having surgery RIGHT NOW!!

Please pray for him and his family!!!

On a side note, TTC wise... second cycle failed... we are now on a break!!! :)

Prayers please!

Tuesday is my last CPA exam! (Financial Accounting) I have been studying non stop since January, I have passed 3 parts and finally the end is coming!! Its been a tough year and I'm so ready to have my life back!!!

I haven't study much as I should have, first my best friend (the one that gave birth in Oct) is moving back to Ecuador. So I have been visiting them VERY often, and she lives like 1 hour away, so that was a whole day of no studying. Also I think I'm getting so tired that I have NO motivation to study!

I will be studying as much as I can this weekend and Monday and hoping that God will help me get through the exam on Tuesday. Your prayers have worked wonders so please keep me on yours that day!!! Its Tuesday at 8am eastern time!

Thanks!!!

Drs appointment...

We had our follow up appointment with Dr E. yesterday. He basically said what we already knew. That it rarely happens on the first try, that we need to keep trying, and that even the most fertile couples don't always get pregnant on their first try... he said he is sure we will get preggo very soon, as we have been preggo before. He said the cycle went perfect so he would like to do the same. So Femara cycle 2 here we go!!!

DH and I agreed to try 2 more times... if it doesn't work we are going to stop and save for our next step IVF, even if the Dr doesn't think we need it, we are having it as a back up plan.

He did say that we will be doing the intralipids before ovulation and then if we get preggo we will do it every 28 days until we reach 12 weeks. He did an u/s yesterday to see if AF was coming soon and check for cysts so that we didn't have to go back for cd3 u/s. I Oed 2 eggs from my left ovary and maybe 1 from the right, but he wasn't sure. So he said Femara worked perfectly for me. I had a great lining and many antrafollies and no cysts, so he gave us the prescription to start!

AF arrived today, so our new cycle just began!

Good and bad...

Good news is my mom did very well on her surgery! She is in recovery now and will be going home later today!! Praise God!

Bad news is my beta was negative... we have an appointment on Wednesday with the Dr... don't know what our next step will be.

Thanks for all your prayers and for thinking about me and my family today!

Prayers tomorrow please..

Tomorrow my mom is having surgery, she is having an inguinal hernia removed. Its an outpatient surgery even though a little painful. Please pray that she has a smooth successful surgery and recovery. Please keep her in your prayers tomorrow at 8am eastern time.

My beta is also tomorrow... I'm leaving it to God and trusting him that whatever the result is its the best for us. I will keep everyone posted.

Tomorrow is a big day for us, please keep us in your prayers.

Thanks!

Palm Beach!

I had a great weekend at Palm Beach!!! We traded some Marriott reward points for a 1 night at the Marriott Ocean Pointe in Palm beach! It was a 2 bedroom villa for 8 people! I went with my mom, MIL, DH and my 5 aunts!! So 8 women and DH!! We had a great time, the weather was perfect and it was soooo relaxing!!!!!!!!! Just what I needed!

Now I'm back to work and to study... I'm soo behind that I don't know how I'm going to be able to finish!!! My exam is on Nov 24th so please pray for me! Your prayers have worked wonders!

On the ttc note, we decided to give it a ONE TIME shot to a Femara cycle. Its our first time using Femara so we are hoping it works for us! My beta is scheduled for November 16, so keep us in your prayers!! I'm leaving it to God, it is what it is... so no stress about it! God knows when and why, so we trust him!

Update...

We will be going to Palm Beach this weekend, we have Marriott reward points and we were able to rent a 2 bedroom suite/apartment for free! We are soo excited, its beachfront and the weather is supposed to be great! We are staying just one night, but at least we are going somewhere!!

On the studying front, I'm soo behind... I haven't been able to study much, life has been crazy! My best friend gave birth to a little girl, AS, and she is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I just love her to pieces! I'm so sad they are moving back to Ecuador, I will miss them soo much, but I know its the best for them now. I just hope that someday they will come back! :) So I have been spending my studying time with this little girl! She is going to make me fail!! LOL... I need to get back on track! My exam is on Nov 24!

TTC front, we decided to give it a ONE more try... we cant afford many rounds at this point since the intralipids infusion is 1,200 every 28 days! We are doing Femara this cycle, we will see how this works out! I'm OK either way... God knows when the best time will be... and we are patiently waiting for it!

I have a Dr's appointment on Monday, to go over the results and to hear the whole plan, since for now all we know is that we need to have the intralipids infusion... not sure if we need any more meds...

Have a nice weekend everyone!
