I started this blog as a way to share my story and meet others that are also going through the difficult and
extremely trying process of infertility. So far I have met lots of amazing women that have been such a blessing to me during this time in my life. I wanted to share my day with you but first I thought you may need some background information. So here goes:
My husband and I met January 11
th 2003. We were both in college at this time. We started dating and he proposed on January 30, 2005. We got married on June 10
th, 2006 and decided at that time to wait 3 years to start a family. By August 2007 I was ready but he wasn't. So one night in January 2008 he tells me that he wants to start trying for a baby in April. So in Feb. I go for my yearly
dr. visit and let my
dr. know that we will start trying soon. His response is that we are young and healthy we should be pg in no time. So April comes and we start trying. In June we buy the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor. In August I switch
dr.s at the request of a friend and my husband. My new
dr.
immediately starts testing both me and my husband. They do a sperm
analysis on my hubby and he is perfect (which of course I already knew that) All of my lab works comes back fine except for my thyroid with was low. So they put me on medicine for that and my new
dr. tells me she wants to do and
HSG to make sure my tubes are clear. (FYI: In 2006 I had had an abnormal pap smear where they thought there may be some
cysts.) In August I have the
HSG done and my left tube is
completely blocked with what they think is
endometrosis. So she schedules me for a
laproscopy in
September. The lap is a complete success and removes all of my stage III
endometrosis. She told me to use my monitor this month and come in for
na ultrasound when I was ovulating.
Back to present: So on Sunday and Monday I got high on my monitor and called and scheduled the ultrasound for yesterday afternoon. I got peak yesterday morning so I kept my
appt. She does the ultrasound and says that I have one really great
follicle and that everything looks perfect and I should go home and be with my husband.
Yay!
That's great except for the part where my husband is out of town on a business trip until Friday afternoon. My
dr. even told me I should call and meet him.
Unfortunately he has his
companies truck and wouldn't be able to put over 4 hours worth of driving on it without having to explain. At which point I do not think that meeting my wife to make a baby is a
legitimate excuse. I was so upset and just cried. Hubs was so sweet and let me cry on the phone to him all the while
apologizing. I know that this was not the time for us to get pg. God has a perfect time picked out for us and we just have to be patient and wait on His amazing timing. Please pray for me that I can be patient and faithful in my trust in God's plan for us and our lives.
Also, we are both in an out of town wedding at the end of June so an
early July due date would not have been good
for us.
P.S. Hubs has a
business trip scheduled for this exact same time next month but he said that he was going to tell his boss that he couldn't go. That he needs to stay home and make a baby.
