Got
my test results today from latest NK Cells (all the blood I sent to Chicago last week).
Have to up my predisone.
The numbers did go down a bit but not enough so upping to 20mg and
hoping between that and the lipids it goes down more before transfer.
On
a great note my PAI-1 gene (blood clotting issue) came back down to normal, think the
supplements must be working. YAY! PAI-1 was 75 (norm 75-140) before it
was way over 100. Adding in the Lovenox for this also on Friday so this will thin the blood more.
Thyroid came back down to TSH 1.50 after it had elevated last 2 weeks.
My
chem panel showed I am dehydrated even with drinking 2 -3 liters a day so I
have to add in gatorade and more water - I will be drowning. It's also been really hot here so I am sure that is part of the issue. Have to repeat chem panel next week.
NK assay after predisone and supplements:
50:1 29.9 should be 15 or less (was 37.7)
cd56 11.6 should be 12 or less
Th1/Th2 cytokines:
TNF 37.7 should be 30.6 or less (was 44.5)
IFN 19.0 should be 20.5 or less

Desire To Conceive, Fulfillment Over Barrenness
Father, we thank You that children are the heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. Children are Your idea, Father; You thought up children, and family, and home. You instituted the family in the Garden of Eden. You ordered children; You commanded them when You said to Adam and Eve, "Be frutiful and multiply." You said that the barren womb is never satisfied. Lord, the Word declars that I am wonderfully and fearfully made by You; therefore, I'm perfect and able to conceive and have children. You said that I/my wife would be a fruitiful vine by the side of our house and our children like olive plants around our table We are not ashamed but happy because our quiver is full of children (or arrows, as You call them).
Thank you, Father, that You designed and fashioned me/her, to have children, that in the Bible barreness was the excption, not the rule, not Your will, not normal, something against Your plan and purpose. And in Your goodness and faithfulness every barrren woman in the Bible who was goldly and believed Your Word became pregnant; You opened her womb and bless her, and she gave birth to a precious baby just as I/she will. You make the barren woman to keep house and to be a joyful mother of children.

Father, no plague, no evil shall come nigh our dwelling. We are healed by the stripes of Jesus. Sickness of any kind is taken out of our midst. You said to ask anyting of You in Jesus' name and it would be done; and that if two of us on eather agree as touching anything it would be done.

A Special Prayer For A Woman Facing Infertility And Desires A Child From God
A Special Prayer For A Woman Facing Infertility And Desires A Child From God
By Veronica Anusionwu
Praise be to the Lord, my God who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to me. I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from all my enemies, including infertility.
"The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God, my Rock and my Savior! For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise. He is to be feared above all gods.
I sing to him, I sing praise to him. I tell of all his wonderful acts. I speak my faith out; I will not keep quiet anymore. Praise be to the Lord today, for he has given me a child of my own. I speak my faith out.
God said, "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, Psalm 107:2. I say it now in faith, Praise be to the Lord my God, who has delighted in me and placed a live and healthy baby in my womb. I am redeemed from infertility and barrenness. Praise the Lord.
Because of the Lord's eternal love for me I am now a happy mother of children. Praise be to the Lord my God from everlasting to everlasting.
The Bible says, "God gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were," Romans 4: 17. I am calling the things that are not as though they were, because God's word says I must do so. This is how God Himself creates. Praise the Lord. I am still speaking out in faith, I am now a happy mother of children.
Your word Father, imparts faith in my heart. I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations. I will sing praises to your name. Your word is good Oh God. You said in your word "that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose," Romans 8:28.
Because I am called according to your purpose which includes bringing children into the world. All things are working for my good. I am still speaking out in faith, I am now a happy mother of children.
Father, I praise you, for you have wonderfully and skillfully created me as a woman to fulfill that specific purpose of carrying a child in my womb. I give you praise for you, Almighty God, are exalted above the heavens.
Who is like the Lord my God? Who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth? And to "settle the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children". You My Lord have stooped to crown my womanhood with motherhood. I speak it out loud and clear "I am a happy mother of children". God said if I say it he will create it. Lord I speak my faith out. Thank you for creating it in Jesus name.
With praise and thanksgiving in my heart I sing to You Lord. You are good and your love for me endures forever. Exceedingly abundant God, you are able to do immeasurably more than all I can ask or imagine, according to your power that is at work within me. I declare and announce it in faith; you have blessed me with a child of my own. To you be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
Because I trust in your word, I am able to rest in your great and precious promises. I declare myself a partaker in the divine nature of God. I have escaped the corruption in the world caused by infertility and other evil things that is happening in the world today. I am still speaking out in faith- I am now a happy mother of children.
Lord I have read your word and seen examples of women like Hannah and Rachel, who faced infertility. But you opened their wombs and blessed them with miracle children. You have done the same for me.
I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders, Psalm 9:1I. I am so encouraged when I remember your word which tells me that, "Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him," Psalms 127:3.
Your word assures me that the fruit of the womb is a reward from you Lord. Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength. I will sing and praise your might, Psalm 21:13. I receive my own reward of the fruit of the womb from you Lord.
Thank you, Father for all you are teaching me as I wait upon you. Your ways are perfect my God. I cast all my cares upon you because I know you care for me. I will give thanks to YOU Lord because of your righteousness and will sing praise to your name Most High God.
I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from infertility and miscarriage. The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior! Psalm 18:46.
God I know you have seen all my pains and tears. Your word says, "Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning." I have stopped crying.
I wipe away my tears, for in Christ all things are possible to those that believe. I choose to embrace the truths written in your word and declare it by faith out of my mouth. My joy has come, I am still speaking out in faith, I am now a happy mother of children.
Because you O Lord are true, and your Word is not void of power neither can it fail to accomplish what it has been sent to do in my life.
No good thing will God withhold from me, because my walk is blameless. I am still speaking my faith out, "I am a happy mother of children".
Lord Jesus I surrender my life to you. Take me and use me as a vessel of honour. You created me as a woman to carry children in my womb.
Father, I thank-you for creating me as a woman to fulfill your plans and purpose on this earth, including motherhood.
I thank you because this will surely come to pass in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Week 2
Dr. Kwak-Kim has been doing weekly monitoring of my thyroid. Last week it jumped up past two and I had to up my synthroid. Seems to have come down some this week. Hope it continues to drop or I am sure she will up my meds again to keep it under two.
Last weeks TSH 2.71 FT3 3.61 FT4 1.21
This weeks TSH 2.36 FT3 2.57 FT4 1.23
Shots are going good. The Lupron is pretty easy to measure out and administer. So far worst side effects is headaches and feeling tired. Predisone has me feeling like the munchies so I've had to be careful to not gain weight. Trying to walk at least 30min a day.
Been a hard week emotionally. If we had not mc in November we would of been due this week. It's hard not to think of the what if's and wonder what your child would of been like. Just praying that by this time next year my tears will be turned to joy.
