Receptive!

We received Katie's ERA results yesterday and she came back receptive which means her lining was completely prepared to accept an implanting embryo. So she will be doing the exact same number of hours of progesterone that she did during the mock cycle which was also the same as the failed transfer in June. Part of me wanted something to show up just so we could change the protocol in some way since the embryo failed to implant but mostly I am completely relieved. I couldn't hardly stand to think that our sweet baby was totally fine and if we had only had 12 more/less hours of progesterone that we would be planning a nursery right now instead of another transfer. So now we know for sure that everything was absolutely perfect but it just wasn't meant to be. This verse comes to mind when I think about that baby that didn't get to stay:

A man's heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps.
Proverbs 16:9

So we are planning the next course which is transferring our last embryo on December 12. We are praying that our steps line up with His plan for our family while trusting He knows best no matter the outcome. He sure knew best when He gave us Graham. All those years of failures and miscarriages were the steps leading us to him. Now we pray there are another set of hands to hold next year.
