I am in uncharted territory here!

This whole blog thing is a little mystery to me. So I decided to dive in head first into the blogging world and just make a blog of my own. Maybe this will turn into a type of therapy for me by writing all my thoughts down. I really don't care if I have readers or not, right now this is just for me.

So here I am.....Well I guess I better start this blog off right by telling you about me. I am 29 and am happily married to my husband,Tim. Been married for 7 years. We met on AOL in Feb. 2001, and were married on Dec. 31 2001. We went through 4 1/2 years of infertility and tried many treatments. We spent close to $1,000 on treatments. I was told to lose 100 lbs to help my hormones balance out and to help my chances of a healthy pregnancy. I had the Gastric Bypass in May 2003. I have lost 120 lbs. I still had infertility even after the weight loss. I was told that I had PCOS which I started researching throughly. I started progesterone therapy and made an appointment with a prominent RE here in town. On my first visit he did and u/s and showed me where I was ovulating! I was surprised to see this and he went on to say that my lining was too thin to support a pregnancy and to call when I started AF. Well I never started and I got a BFP when I took my HPT!

So our first Miracle, Savannah was born April 18th 2005. Then when she was 1 we decided to try for #2. It took me 2 months and I got my BFP! We were over the moon at this second miracle pregnancy. Marcus was born Dec. 14 2006. So knowing that my time is short to have children I wanted to try for at least one more. I started TTC in June of last year. I have been trying all things natural with no results. My cycles are really messed up and this is even with progesterone. So next month May 14th I will be seeing the RE again. Hopefully this time he will be able to help me out.

I was able to have 2 kind souls DONATE fertility meds to me. Yes unopened boxes of Menopur, Bravelle and Lupron. And the other women gave me 30 pills of Clomid. I have no insurance coverage for this and this was a great gift to have been given. So knowing that clomid doesnt work with me, I am hoping that the RE will use Femara and injectables so we can get this show on the road.

I will be using the blog as my outlet to vent and my place to record this roller coaster journey of life.
