About Me:
I'm originally from Dallas, Texas, and I'm now living in Shreveport, Louisiana with my Husband, Drew. He is currently serving in the US Air Force. We are stationed at Barksdale AFB, with our two cats, Bart and Maggie, and our dog, Zelda. This is our first base and we consider ourselves lucky to be so close to home. We met back in 2004 in Tyler, Texas during my senior year, and were married June 16, 2007. Everything is going great, and although being a military wife is hard sometimes, I'm enjoying every minute of it. Drew and I are currently trying to conceive our first child. We have been trying to add to our family since July 2007, and we hope that we will be blessed with a miracle soon.
fertility/pregnancy history
I had an unplanned pregnancy 4 years ago and miscarried, and ever since I haven't had a period without the help of BCP. I even went 2 years without one. My husband and I decided to start TTC in July 2007 and after 6 months without a period they finally sent me to an infertility specialist.

Since then I have learned that I have PCOS and Endometriosis. I had my first Laparoscopy surgery on 5/7/08 and had endo, cysts, polyps, and scar tissue removed, and I also had a D&C. I have been told to let my body heal and wait 6 months before TTC again so I'm hoping for a Christmas BFP. It's going to be hard waiting, but I'm going to try to focus on getting my body ready while I wait the 6 months, by losing weight.

forgive me...

I fell off the face of the earth, I'm sorry girls. I've been down and depressed ever since I hit the 1 year mark. I finally got good news, I ovulated and had a period and so this last cycle I had more of a chance than ever before and alas, I didn't ovulate or get a period, and am now CD 34.



I just want to scream, beat something, I don't know. I wish I could take a break, wish I could just stop the meds, stop the charting, stop everything and just get back to life for a few months and… Continue

Sorry Girls - Update

omg girls I'm so sorry I haven't updated in forever. I started a TTC blog and have been updating it.



My first Clomid cycle was a bust pretty much. I'm scheduled to start 100mg on Monday if I don't get a BFP or AF. I STILL haven't had a period, and am now 233 days since my last period, and 10 weeks since my surgery and D&C.



here's the link to my blog if ya'll want to go back and read up on what I've been up to, I'll try to update here more often, but if I disappear… Continue

Officially a Clomid Chick!

I went to my doctor today and since I haven't started yet, he put me on Clomid. I don't know why he didn't put me on Provera first to start a period, just put me on Clomid. I'm on 50mg to start, and he said it would be CD 5-9. My estimated date of ovulation is June 25, and if I do O that day, I'll be testing on July 9 with an EDD of March 18! Let's hope this works the first cylce, though if I just get a period out of it I'll be more than happy!

Anniversary!

So tomorrow is Drew and my first wedding anniversary :) I can't believe we've been married a whole year, time sure does fly! It's crazy to think we're no longer newlyweds.



Things started off rocky as we adjusted to getting married and I fully believe that the first year is the hardest. But the last few months have been absolutely perfect. Yeah we still have our little arguments, but we've learned how to argue without it turning into something huge, just say our peace, apologize, and… Continue

I'm a little bummed today. When I started TTC there was a woman who's husband came home from deployment and that night got pregnant. She was the first person to get pregnant after I started trying. She gave birth yesterday to a beautiful healthy baby girl. I'm so happy for her, but I… Continue

St David Prayer
Thank you, Lord for all the blessings in my life. Help me to remember them as I face the challenges of infertility. I pray that I can surrender myself into your hands. Let me accept the reality of this situation and have the wisdom and courage to take action where I can. Strengthen my body, mind and spirit to endure the trials of infertility. Keep me ever mindful of the needs of others and grant us your peace. Amen.
