ERA complete!

Katie had the ERA test done this morning and it went perfectly. The sample will get sent to the company today and we should hear the results in about two weeks. Either it will tell us that she needs more progesterone or it will say she was in the receptive time to accept the embryo. Either way it should be great information to know and will get us one step closer to Baby Davis the sequel. She is able to go ahead and restart all the medications at about the same time we get the results back so there is no wait time.

Graham is hoping to be able to announce his new big brother status sometime around Christmas and he decided he would start believing in faith that God will say YES! What a wonderful way to celebrate the way Jesus was sent to us by God giving us another child to love on and give Him all the glory. We are praising Him already for what He is about to do.

Almost ERA time!

Katie started estrogen shots on Saturday, September 28th to help build up her lining for the upcoming ERA test. These did the trick last cycle rather than the estrogen patches she used before so we were hopeful this time would be no different.
She had her lining check ultrasound and bloodwork today to see if her lining was thick enough and if the estrogen was high enough to proceed with the ERA test next week. Here is the gorgeous tri-layer 14mm lining. Some of you girls out there know what I mean. For others of you that don't, just trust me that this would be a cozy spot for a growing embryo to dig in! But also remember that we are just doing a mock cycle and no little sweetie is going in just yet. We are hoping to recreate this same environment next cycle so this is a good indicator hopefully!

Praise God that everything was just as it should be. In this process you can never take any steps for granted and we are trusting that this is just the next step that the Lord is allowing for Graham's sweet little sibling to come to live in the bedroom next to him! Before each nap and every night we pray for his baby and he points to the empty room across from his. It's so precious and I pray that his prayer will be answered soon! I think we want this more for him than us. Will you join Graham in his prayer to become a big brother? Thank you all for your continued support as always.
