Well Marilyn finally called today. Can I just say first how blessed I am to have the midwife that I have. She is AMAZING. Being that I have to go through this process, at least I can go through it with her by my side. There's good news and bad news. Marilyn said my test results were "the picture of health." Healthy Healthy Healthy. All my numbers are "perfect" and there is no PCOS. No thyroid problem, no glucose problem, no nothing!!! So it feels good to know that I am healthy, and my numbers are where they are supposed to be, but it is a little frustrating. I wish there would have been something "treatable."
So we are on the 3 month plan. 3 more months of consciously trying. If in January we are still unsuccessful I will start a drug called Clomid. Clomid helps make sure you are ovulating. I have yet to get a positive OPK. Marilyn suggested I start doing my OPK's twice a day!!!! Yikes!!! That is gonna get expensive!!! Hoping I will see a + on one sometime this week.

Doctor's Appointment
Dr.'s appointment was Friday. I moved it to 10:45 because I just couldn't wait for Jason to get home. So frustrating to hear her say that we needed to try for 3 more months. She gave me a ton of tips. To all of them I replied "tried that." She then started asking the million questions. Afterwards she said that she was going to test for PCOS. (Polyscysitc Ovarian Syndrome) I have too many of the symptoms for her to not test. We'll get those test results back some time this week. In a weird way i'm hoping I do have it, as then there would be something to treat. I don't want to be "normal." I feel like normal should not take this long. More waiting.... more hoping.... more praying. One day at a time.
How long, O Lord, how long? Psalm 6:3

It's Official We're Blogging!!!!
Our doctor's appointment on Friday prompted us to tell our story via blog. There's so much to tell so many, so Jason and I decided to write our own blog. Some personal, some funny, some sad, it will all be here. Sharing this journey will also be a way for me to deal with the LONG days that come wth trying to conceive. (TTC) There's a lot going on so we will give a brief synopsis of the past almost year.
In Feburary Jason & I got our first beautiful BFP!!!!(Big Fat Positive) So excited we didn't wait long telling friends and family. With our due date in November, we were thrilled to have a new member of the family at Christmas!! Unfortunately God had other plans and on April 10th 2009 we lost our little angel at 9 1/2 weeks. Devastated, we mourned and grieved.
Soon there after we focused our attention on actually "trying to conceive." Thinking we would not have any problems, we went against Dr.'s orders and did NOT wait the two months they tell you to wait before starting to try again. Those of you that know me, know I don't "wait" very well. Immediately in May we started diligently trying. May passed with no luck.
In June I started doing some major research. I started cutting back on coffee, as I read that hindered infertility. June passed with no luck.
July came and went with no luck.
When the August cycle approached I was frustrated, angry, depressed, and exhausted. In the midst of those feelings I would not give up. I purchased a book ironically called "Getting Pregnant." Read it cover to cover and implemented a trillion more things into our TTC routine. Jason and I were both on "vitamin cocktails" as I liked to call them, I bought ovulation predictor kits and Pre-seed, started charting, (more on that later) and much much more. August passed with no luck.
September I just couldn't take it. We were not trying that month. (In the back of mind were the stories everyone tells you about "oh, we stopped trying and got pregnant!!" truly though there was no trying that month) Lo and behold September passed with no luck.
October came and went with no luck. When I got my period in October, I threw my hands up and called the Dr. Went in for an appointment on the 30th of October.
