of PCOs, Journey to Fertility and Miracle...

Almighty God, most merciful Father
You alone know the time
You alone know the hour
You alone know the moment
When I shall breathe my last.

So, remind me each day,
most loving Father
To be the best that I can be.
To be humble, to be kind,
To be patient, to be true.
To embrace what is good,
To reject what is evil,
To adore only You.

When the final moment does come
Let not my loved ones grieve for long.
Let them comfort each other
And let them know
how much happiness
They brought into my life.
Let them pray for me,
As I will continue to pray for them,
Hoping that they will always pray
for each other.

Let them know that they made possible
Whatever good I offered to our world.
And let them realize that our separation
Is just for a short while
As we prepare for our reunion in eternity.

Our Father in heaven,
You alone are my hope.
You alone are my salvation.
Thank you for your unconditional love, Amen.

News article: Cory Aquino Dies at 76

It took about 5 minutes to extract blood for my Estradiol Level test. My husband was waiting outside the laboratory. Since we still have more than 2 hours of waiting left, we went to the Carmelites’ Monastery. We prayed the rosary before the altar. We offered many petitions. We prayed for the success of this fertility treatment with the Puregon injections. If ever I get pregnant, we prayed for the health of our child and that there will be no infection to occur during my pregnancy and childbirth. We also prayed for our family who are currently living in distant cities and country. For our guidance and strength to this ordeal.

When my husband uttered..”your will be done, Lord”… that’s when I felt a lump on my throat and I cried. Yes, Lord you are powerful. If it is your will, it will be done. And to this prayer, I felt sad and I felt so helpless. I’m always begging the Lord to have mercy on us and give us our own child. We have done all that we could do as human. And this is the farthest thing we could afford. We are not millionaire; we cannot afford “test tube” babies. My family has spent so much with this procedure. If this fails, we cannot afford another procedure like this. So, today we lift it all up to the Lord, the Almighty. Only He could give us miracle. So from this moment on, it is the Lord’s work and may He show us His mercy by blessing us with our own child.

Before leaving the monastery, we dropped our petition and lighted a candle.
