The cyst has went down by about half the size it was.  Praise the LORD!  I'm told that it will not hurt anything with the procedure we are doing but the doctor wants it gone completely so I will take birth control for another 2 weeks and go back for an ultrasound on November 10th.  If all is well, I will start meds that Friday and the transfer will be on December 6th.  It sounds so far but at the same time it is right around the corner.  I will update again in 2 weeks.

The shirt selling has taken off once again!  I'm down to 11 t's, 2  long sleeve t's and 26 sweatshirts.  God is so AMAZING!

We have been blessed with the donation and adoption of 5 embryos.  The cousin of a friend heard our story and was considering donating them but her husband wasn't so sure.  I sent them the link to our Life Book that we made and I received a call the next day saying they wanted to proceed!  It has now been 2 months and we are slowly making progress in order to have the FRET transfer done.  What this means is they will thaw them out and transfer into me in hopes that one will take and I can carry the baby.  There are 3 in one tube and 2 in the other.  The plan is to thaw the 3.  If one doesn't make it we will still have 2 for the transfer.  If 2 or 3 don't make it they will thaw the other 2 out and transfer what does.  So we could be transferring 1, 2 or 3 but will not know until the day of the transfer. 

I have a cyst on one of my ovaries that they are watching and waiting on to go down.  Once it is where they would like it, I start the shots and we are well on our way.  As of right now, it is looking like the middle of November but that can all change when I go back next Thursday. 

There have been several things along the way that we know have only been God bringing this together so we are hoping and praying that we will get our baby very soon!  I will keep everyone updated.

This is a costly procedure and I would like to say thanks to everyone that has helped us by selling or buying our shirts and jewelry.  We couldn't have done it without y'alls help.  Words can't express our gratitude!
