As of April 1st, we will be starting Clomid! I don't think I have ever been so excited. My Husband and I have been together for 7 years. Wow! We have been trying to get pregnant for a good 7 years of that. Ha! Just KIDDING MOMs!!! But really, it has been at least 4-5 years. We've gone through a lot of unanswered questions but finally last year we got some. I was diagnosed with PCOS. Everythign else (thank GOD!) looks great and Husband checked out (He wants me to say "He's the man!"..or something macho, Im not sure. :) ) with a A+++! I unfortunately had to have the LEEP procedure to remove some non-invasive slow growing cervical cancer. That was pretty scary and I didn't feel the need to share too much about that. But here I am, Im alive, and I've decided to be more open with what is going on. Especially for my British Pal (who Im sure is my only reader...and Im OK with that! haha).
I went in for an appointment two weeks ago for my annual (and check up 3 months post-procedure). I was given a contengent "OK" to start Clomid as long as my test came back negative and Husband's results were great. THANK THE LORD! Everything was great and the OB and I were ellated. I came back to see her 2 weeks after that and she gave me the low-down on what is going to happen. I will be allowed 6 treatments of Clomid before I am referred to a specialist (RE). Though I'd prefer to go to an RE now, our insurance will not cover anything that is 'fertility' related. Even if the Clomid is only making me ovulate......and only cost $9 stinking bucks! Oh well, the things we do for miracles.
So here we sit and wait for mother nature to start its dang course already! For months I have had impending doom and a feeling of hopelessness and brokeness. But today I can finally say...I am so relieved and SO excited for the next step.
I am ok with being your only follower too. i am also really happy that i get insight in to more of your life. keep them coming! i know it sounds easy to say but your time will come. you will appreciate being pregnant/having a child a little more than others do when it happens. i hope when you are a mother in times of frustration (kids do that too you) that you will remember how patient you were waiting for them to come, how you longed and waiting and how happy you were when it finally happened even when the child is on its 10th tantrum of the day. (i only had to deal with 2 today, it was a good day!) i am not sure after nannying for over 10 years that i will be longing to have my own. there are some many sayings i could tell you like everything happens for a reason! i think the reason is because you are supposed to travel to england first ;) i love you, like so many more people in your life and will always be here for you no matter what whenever you are ready to open up
