Prayers

Nothing new to report with me. Things are the same. I'm writing today to ask everyone to pray for my friends the Clarks. They lost their sweet baby yesterday morning. He was such a fighter for the short time he blessed us with his presence. He had such an impact on my life and I'm heartbroken that he's gone. However, just knowing that he's now pain free and happy in heaven makes it a little better. Also, please pray for the May family. Their little one will be going to heaven today. Such sad days. It's hard to keep it all in perspective sometimes....

Good Grief

My crazy hormones are at it again. I finished my progesterone a week ago. I've never had any luck with it before. However, the last couple of days, I've been spotting. Just a little on the tp in the bathroom, but not enough to worry about otherwise. I keep waiting for it to turn into a full flow cycle. I'm supposed to get labs drawn on day 2-3 of full flow according to the nurse at the RE's office. Well, today, there is NO spotting. Oy vey... Apparently, the spotting was the only cycle I am going to get. I'm going to give it another few days and then call the RE and see what he wants to do now. As much as I hate getting labs drawn, I'd really like to be able to get them done and get going with all this...

Moody and Cranky

First off, my apologies to anyone who has had to deal with me in the last week (mostly my husband as I've been home sick). I've been back on Provera again this week to induce a cycle. It's been a while since I've had to take it and I had forgotten how if affects me. I've been soooo moody and down right cranky. Not to mention sweaty when I sleep... Ugh. To top it off, I've been sick the better part of the week. I'm sure I've just been a joy to be around :) Oh well, tonight is the last dose I have to take. Hopefully, it will bring on a cycle (it's never worked before) and we can get the blood work done for the RE. After the blood work, we'll know more about what course of treatment I will need to force my body to ovulate...

We Have a Plan...

I went to see the RE today. He's a really nice guy and I think that I made a good choice. My wonderful husband went with me to the appointment today. The RE discussed all my issues and why I have the problems that I do. He confirmed that I do, in fact, have PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome).
I had my first ever (and I'm sure not the last) vaginal ultrasound today so that he could get a good look at my ovaries. The left side was quite large and poly cystic. The right one, however, was playing games. It ran and hid under a loop of bowel, so we couldn't see it, but the RE was sure it looked very much like the left side.
He prescribed me a round of Provera (progesterone) to bring on a cycle as I am on day 47. I have to get a whole new round of blood work that has to be done on cycle day 2 or 3 to get the most accurate results. He also wants to do a hysteroscopy (fun times...) and a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) (even more fun times...) to check out the plumbing so to speak. My poor hubby has to get a SA (semen analysis) done. He's not excited. He says he won't do it, but I know he will.
Please keep us in your prayers. This must be the most wanted baby ever to endure all this... I know without a doubt though, the the end result will be completely worth it.

It's Been a While

Haven't posted in a while. Not much new to report. I made an appointment to see the Reproductive Endocrinologist (here after referred to as RE). I'm seeing him on Monday, Jan. 19th at 2:30. I'm hoping that we can get moving quickly on the whole pregnancy thing shortly there after. Otherwise, things are about the same here. My niece and nephew are growing like weeds. Such sweet babies. One day, I'll have one of my own...

So Long 2008

I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. It's been stressful, wild, crazy, disappointing, and blessed all at the same time. I don't make resolutions because I never keep them. I am going to make some promises to myself and try my best to uphold them.
* I will truly try to eat better, exercise, and lose weight.
* I will do everything my doctor asks in order to allow myself to get pregnant this year.
* I will be better organized at home like I am at work.
* I will study for and pass my CCRN exam.
* I will continue to remember every day that I am truly blessed.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Merry Christmas (a little late)

Nothing new to report here. I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I hope you had a great one where ever you may be!
