Ladies here is my predicament.
I am supposed to go for a diagnostic lap&dye on Thursday but is there is any small chance that I AM pregnant then the dr won't do it... well for obvious reasons. I have been waiting for progesterone results to see whether I actually ovulated but regardless of the test results I really think I did (had MAJOR O pains and just look at my chart!).
Now AF is only due on Saturday the 22nd, but I have to make the final decision on whether to proceed with the op TOMORROW (Tuesday) which will be too soon to know if I am actually pregs or not. I don't think a test will work since I will only be 10dpo tomorrow. So if I can't do the lap&dye now we have to move it to December because the dr is so fully booked... I just want to get it over with though!
I don't really know what to do. On the one hand I am 99% sure I am not pregnant (unless it's a miracle); having NO symptoms whatsoever at the moment (unlike previous months!) & kind of missing the fertile window this month, and I just want to get the procedure done. On the other hand I don't want to risk the 1% chance that I might actually be pregnant... uuurrghhhh... And I don't know if my medical insurance will let me move the procedure date
What do you ladies think I should do? Try and test tomorrow with an early test (though 10dpo is wayyy too soon I think); or just try to move the procedure to December?
I am praying hard for answers but am still undecided!
TIA!

To be honest things are really rough at the moment. I'm trying hard to have faith but no matter I seem to lose my cool in one way or another every single day.
But in more pleasant news I found out last Monday that this baby is a boy!

Hey hun xx
Would the second date they can give you be before Christmas? If so I personally would move the dates, just so that I can be 1000% sure it was the right decision. Of course try a test and see what it says but if negative you are still going to be wondering right ?
I have had a dye test so I know how bad the anxiety is of wanting it asap is..but the difference between tomorrow and December is a matter of weeks and there could be cancellations and by then you would be sure that you either are (or are not ) pregnant xx
Whatever you decide to do I hope it all works out for you hun and let us know how you get on xx

Thanks for all the advice ladies.
I have decided to move try and move the procedure to 4 Dec (first available date) as I will just not be 100% sure that I'm not pregnant on Thursday. Feeling crampy and cranky
so AF will probably arrive spot-on on Saturday BUT rather safe than sorry and I feel better having made the decision!
Thanks for the positivity!!
Hope everyone has a great week ahead, Monday is done! And hugs to everyone feeling low xx

Didn't do any tests since I just *know* it's bfn, but moved the lap&dye to 4 Dec so that I can stop stressing about it

Why Does God Require Persistence in Prayer?
By Rankin Wilbourne, Lead Pastor
If God knows all things and if God desires to give His children good things and if God hears us the first time that we pray, then why does God ask us to persist in prayer? Is there a time we should give up and stop asking?
Persistence is for Our Sake, not God’s
If we always got exactly what we wanted the first time we asked, we would inevitably begin to treat God as our genie, only summoned forth to give us our hearts’ desires. But that is precisely what prayer calls into question: What do you really want?
Persistence compels us to the true center of prayer, which is not something but someone. Persistence deepens our relationship with God and compels the heart to examine what it really wants most. Do you want God’s will? Do you want God even more than you want what you are asking for? If not, then for God to grant what you are asking for, even if it is a good thing, might be the most unloving thing God could ever do.
Persistence demands patience, waiting. This is the ground of spiritual growth, spiritual vitality, and health! Because our natural inclination is to use God and not to love God, only frustrations in prayer can purge and purify our desires. Henri Nouwen captures the idea beautifully, “you must be patient…until your hands are completely open.” Perhaps God desires to give you exactly what you have asked for, but only in a time and way that the gift can truly benefit you instead of harming you.
No doubt you have your story of frustrations in prayer. Take heart. Persistence does not guarantee that you will get what you asked for, but it does promise you will get something better and actually closer to your heart’s deepest desire. God will answer your prayers. Perhaps not when we wanted or even HOW we wanted, but in a way that we truly longed for in the depths of our soul.
Most importantly, persist with God in confidence that He persists and has persisted with you. In Genesis 3, God asked Adam, “Where are you?” and the whole Bible is the story of God’s relentless pursuit of a relationship with us. God won’t take NO for our answer. The Bible daringly depicts God as the spurned lover who will never give up, the abandoned Father who relentlessly draws back his wayward children, sometimes with discipline but always with the cords of kindness. God never gives up on you, so don’t give up. Persist in prayer. As it was with Jacob, the LORD actually wants us to wrestle with Him, to wrestle in prayer, as if our life depended on it. Which it does.

Temps dropped and spotting started right on time. Just hoping AF doesn't arrive before Saturday otherwise 4 Dec (lap & dye) will be CD14 and possible ovulation... Hoping to ovulate only after the procedure so that next month is not a total loss. I'm having lots of nightmares including the dr saying to me my tubes are completely shut and my uterus is full of holes don't want to hear that there will never ever be a chance!
On a good note, I have planned a party on Saturday (projected AF-starting day) with family and friends to celebrate that I have just finished a 4 year science degree and it's also my birthday next week The party will also serve as consolation after AF's arrival! AND I'm almost on holiday... will basically be done with the year's work after tomorrow.
Have an awesome weekend all! Any news? No Doubt your baby is coming soon if I'm right?

My Daily Devotion
What is your faith doing for you? What is your faith doing for others?
Too often we get busy doing life. Yes, life. We have too many responsibilities, too many errands, too many friends to keep up with and too many things to do around the home. Oh and yes, we have a baby to make in the process of our busy life.
In and amongst being busy doing life, we forget to have faith. We forget to check in to see how our faith is doing, we forget to pray, to open Gods word, to think of God in our daily activities. We tend to lean on Him when things get tough, when we need a test result to turn out good, and when we need him to play miracle maker in our wombs. We neglect those times when we turn to him to see how he is doing not wanting anything but his company, to see how he is going.. you know playing God and all.
We think having faith and acting out our beliefs requires effort like everything else. We think it requires so much of our time, so we put it to the side like the rest of the things we need to do. We neglect to understand that having God in our lives on a continual basis IS our rest. It IS our comfort. It's not a distraction, something we should do, but something we need to do, in order for everything else to work effectively. If our faith isn't doing anything for us, and nothing for anyone else, what good is our faith to us but to simply possess and not use?
Let praise be at the center of your words today. Let God be the priority of all your priorities. Let us learn to do the things that bring worship to God without thought or procrastination, not because we know we should, but because we know we need it.

Hi ladies
I've never been in such a ridiculously good mood upon arrival of AF. Still spotting but I think it's close. I'm officially on holiday for the year! With just 1-2 hours of teaching ONE morning a week as from next week, till mid December.
My plan for this cycle involves taking 1 cycle off of clomid, just eating healthy & exercising; and then after the lap&dye diagnosis I might do some acupuncture. No point in spending money on fertility acupuncture if there are anatomical problems which are causing permanent infertility! So we will see. In the mean time I am going to thoroughly enjoy my holiday and be thankful for every day in this wonderful South African summer!
Hope everyone is doing well and have a really great weekend.
