Gift guides are here! I wanted to keep it short and sweet this year with just some of Loren and I’s favorite things. Check out my gift guide for him and her below.

![Round 4 … much to our surprise : we are pursuing another egg retrieval in the New Year! ✨�
Our most recent round last month brought one genetically normal embryo + we are setting out to try and do that again before a transfer.
I’m without a doubt tired of all things fertility. Very tired. But we have clarity & confidence and all I can do is ask God to give me the strength I need to endure - just as He always has!
There are many things our family is focused & excited about in the new year, and this is one of them!
Gathered all my best friends 💊 and organized them for the coming week.
✔�I’ve already done my baseline appointment.
🔬 I have a new ovarian cyst, as usual, so we are doing another week of birth control to see if my estrogen will come down.
📈 My estrogen is 668 and needs to be more like 60.
� We’ll chat about whether I need another surgery before starting ovarian stimulation again next week.
🧫 I’ll be going back to my previous medication protocol for stimulation, as I had better results [egg count] with that one.
As much as I was hoping we could move on from this part of our journey for 2022 - we need to stick with this a little bit longer. We’ve done back to back to back IVF for the entire year of 2021, not something I’d wish on anyone - but, in all things God works for our good & I see that so clearly!
I wanted to share an IVF update with you girls here, as you’ve always been such a squad of support for me!!
If you’re feeling weary, rest. Carve out time to sit and pray, read, and slow down. Find refuge in the simple act of pausing & creating space for stillness. You have my support & I’m sending all my love to you! ✨�](../../wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
