Weight Loss

It's been slow.  I plateaued in January.  I also gave myself some time to grieve our canceled IVF.  BUT I am at a total weight loss of 19 lbs! Yay!  I am straddling the BMI overweight/obese line and I am so excited to leave the obese range forever!

fertility: Ovarian Resistance

Our January IVF was canceled on day 9 and I was diagnosed with Ovarian Resistance.  Ovarian Resistance has been known as Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) and Early Menopause. 


"Premature ovarian failure occurs when your ovaries-which store and release eggs-stop working before age 40. You may have no or few eggs. " Web MD I have few eggs.


How common is this?  Web MD says 1-4% American women are diagnosed with POF.

Is there anything we can do?  No, there is no cure or treatment. 10% of Women with POF will conceive naturally once after their body goes into POF.  

We are hoping to do one more cycle of traditional IVF.  Then we are hoping to adopt. 

I'm sure the Lord has a plan for us.  We are trying to listen for what that is.  This is something so completely out of our control.  There isn't much we can do except "Let It Be."
