Everyone is doing it these days right? Well, I never have really gotten into. I tried it before but it never really worked out because I really didn't have anything interesting to say. When the LORD moved us to Omaha. I have missed AK so much I thought I would blog about that. But I have been led to a different direction.
The reason for this blog is for our Life Journey into parenthood. This journey has been a long road with many road blocks that we are still walking. I am praying one day I see the end of the road and get to have a precious gift from God in my arms. This is how are journey began.
On June 4, 2005. I married my best friend David. We both knew we wanted children about a year after we got married. About 6 month after we got married we decided to go ahead and see where the LORD leads us. Well this went on for about 2 years than fnally in November 2007 I finally saw that positive test I have been hoping for. That was really short lived because about a week after that positive I ended up miscarrying my child. That in itself was rough. So in February 2008 we decided to go to the doctor to see what was up.
He ran several different tests on both me and David. It turns out I ended up having PCOS (Polystic Ovarian Syndrom) This is where my body does release eggs lke it is suppossed to and I don't ovulate regularly. He said it was a miracle in itself that I even conceived in the first place. He said we would only have like a 2% chance of ever conceiving on our own.
So he recommended that we go through severla different revenues on making our dream come true. I have tried being put on ovulatory medicine. In April of this year we even tried the IUI that was also unsuccessful. We have two more tries of that but we moved to NE in the middle of it so we took like a 6 month break from it all. On August 24th I have an appointment with a Reproductive Endocrinoligst to see where the LORD leads us. I will keep you all posted.
I hate to hear of the PCOS. I was diagnosed with it as well and it hasn't been easy. Praying for you as you continue to seek treatment. Please let me know if you ever need a friend to talk to.

OH...And I know how hard it is to move away from family and into a new place. When Scott and I got married, I moved to England where he was stationed and it was soooo tough! He deployed 2 weeks later leaving me alone for months, and I just thought I'd go crazy. But eventually, you start to feel at home where ever you are. We've lived here for almost 5 years now, and we love it. Our friends have become a second family, and I have no clue what I'd do without them. Just give it some time, and please call/email/Facebook me anytime you need a friend who understands! :-) And I'm a super fun shopping buddy...Just sayin'. LOL
