estrogen

So my rise in high fertility on my monitor must have been a rise in estrogen that signified that my period would be coming. Praise the Lord I now have had a 30 day cycle, but I did not yet ovulate. I wonder if this month will be the month I will ovulate. I called the doctor on day 30 as instructed and since I hadn't started my period at that point, she wanted me to continue taking the progesterone until Monday. If I were pregnant, it wouldn't be a good idea to abruptly stop taking it for fear of miscarriage, but otherwise, it would still help with my lack of progesterone.

Here I am again...Cycle 4, Day 3, Month 7. At least I know I won't have 80+ day cycles, but I don't know what is in store. And, this progesterone makes me so tired at night and dizzy/drowsy in the mornings.

Father, you are amazing yet again. Thank you for your love and perseverance with me. Thanks for your patience even when I am not. I pray for those who are struggling with their own fertility journey. I pray that you reveal to them what you have in store for them. If they are not going to be able to conceive, help them to accept it and to see what else you have in store for them. If they do conceive, give them the strength to sustain the pregnancy. If there are choices to be made, help them to make them in accordance with your will and with a grateful heart! In Jesus' name, AMEN!
