So I had a bad dream today. An awful dream actually. I dreamed that the Dr. in St. Louis told me there was nothing she could do, that I was a lost cause, and that I should just give up. I really hope this isnt a premonition of some sort. I got all my paperwork in the mail yesterday for my appt so Im hoping its just my fears rearing their head in my dreams…I was really excited about going but know I have the knot in my stomach and Im kinda scared of going…

My lab results came back bad again this month and my doctor is started to become concerned that my body is going into menopause!!! Im praying thats not it because that means my body thinks is 50 and not 25 and that I will never get pregnant. Please pray that our appointment will go well and we will finally get some solid answers!! Thank you to everyone who has been praying and keeping us in your thoughts and giving me such kind words! You have no idea how much you all mean to me and how you have helped me through some of my worst times! Adam and I are truely grateful to have friends like you!!!
