More prayer requests

I have my follow-up appointment with my (NFP/NaPro) OB/GYN this afternoon (recap: I have some funky cycle issues, and we've done some testing to try to figure it out and fix it). DH is coming with me, but I'm still all kinds of nervous and excited. Nervous that the doctor is going to tell me something terrible. Excited to have some answers and a plan. I had a dream over the weekend that I could never have kids of my own and it made me really sad and has been on my mind ever since, even though that does not seem a likely outcome IRL. I would appreciate prayers that things go well.

I would also ask you ladies to pray for a friend of mine who is travelling to South America this week for a 9-month lay mission with the Maryknolls. Please pray that her travels are safe and that her work helps build the Kingdom of God.

    Update: back from the doctor and the worst-case scenarios I'd been playing out in my head have proven to be for naught. I have a polyp, which they can remove with an outpatient procedure, and one of my hormone levels is off, which they can treat with a low dose of medication. The doctor said that those two things should clear up my charts pretty well (and make TTC easier when we're ready).

    I dont' know if you teacher mentioned this to you, but even some of the strangest things can cause problems: Dryer sheets, scents, etc.

    I've heard those things. I have extremely sensitive skin, so I'm very careful about thsoe things as it is. At any rate, I'm using "funky" here to avoid a bunch of personal, medical information that I don't really feel the need to over-share.

    I am also working on scheduling a follow-up wiy Creighton instructor, but I trust my doc (he is NaPro trained and NFP only, so his focus really is aligned with ours; my H is also well acquainted with him professionally, and has the utmost respect for the doc) infinitely. If he thinks the major problems will be solved with the hyserosocpy and the meds, I'm good with that. He also said that if things weren't fixed by those steps, we would reevaluate. I'm 100% sure that that is exactly what I want in a doctor.

    Like I say, this whole things has made me even more in love with NFP. I love that my concerns were shared by my doctor. I love that he was extremely proactive in identifying and solving the problems. I love that all of this has involved zero mention of the BCP and its contraceptive cousins.
