Hello All! I'm 25 and so happily married to the love of my life for a little over 2 years now. We were middle school sweethearts and broke up in high school when I moved to Florida. Fate brought us back together several years later and after another 4 1/2 years of dating, we said "I DO" on September 26, 2009. I always wanted that beautiful church wedding and that we what I was given :) We have 4 furbabies-Libby, Gizzy, Muzzy, and Zeus. 3 are chic-chics and Zeus is a Husky/Lab mix.
This blog is mostly for me to chat and the ups and downs of TTC (trying to conceive) our 1st child. Becoming a momma is my biggest life achievement and I hope one day that it will happen.
Background--This has been a long journey for us. We started trying right after we got married and still have yet to be successful in this. I haven't gotten preggers at all. Naturally, the hubby (in most cases of TTC with other women) is not as affected being unsuccessful with it. I do not hold this against him at all. He wants children, but he is not a stresser, unlike me. He comforts me when AF visits or if I get a BFN. In March 2010, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). Basically I was not ovulating properly. I was put on Metformin and told to keep trying. The Metformin made me sick so I stopped taking them after a little while. We continued on the natural journey. Then in January 2011, we decided to stop trying and just focus on us for a while. Our "end" time for this process was June 2011. Finally in July, I decide to see another doctor which I knew was more dedicated and progessive with infertilyissues. He set my hubby up for a sperm check up (for which my hubs was just thrilled about..not LOL) and thankfully everything came back great! So, it was for sure that it was ALL me :( Dr. B. started me on Clomid (a fertility drug to induce ovulation). My 1st cycle of it was in July and 2 more cycles after that. As of today, still no success. In the morning will be when AF is due, so we'll see! He said that if we have no success at the end of 6 cycles, IUI (Interine Uterine Inspemation) is next. More invasive and costly. But for a baby, we will proceed. To be honest, I would love to get preggers the old fashion way, but I don't think that's in the cards for this gal.
Having a supportive hubby that wants the things that you want is sooooooo important. I need a shoulder to lean on and so does he sometimes as well. Even though he doesn't like to admit it sometimes lol.
I have alittle more time on my hands so I am going to try to keep this blog going daily. Even if noone else reads it, it is a therapeutic outlet for me. And if I do get some followers, then I hope to give them hope or whatever it may be.
I am a Christian so you may see quotes of scriptures as well. God gets me through everything!!
