Our Journey of Starting a Family

This is going to be a weekly journal to let everyone (that cares) know the journey that we are taking in the process of having our first child.

Well to start the story off, I am going to let you all know why I am making a journal.  When I was in high school I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and one of the numerous symptoms of this disorder is infertility.  I was not worried about all of that when I was in high school because I knew that I would worry about having children when I got older.  Well now that I am 27 and married it has come time to start the steps to having a "bundle of joy".  I went and discussed the different options with my doctor and she told me about some different medicaions that they have on the market to help with fertility.  When she told me about Clomid, the first question out of her mouth was " are ya'll both ready for this" and before I could think about it I had said "YES" in shear excitment.  When I got home I had discussed the whole plan to the hubby and he said " ok I guess we can only try". I started taking the Clomid 50mg and on the 21st day of my cycle I went to the lab at the doctor's office to get blood work done.  After a week of waiting, they called and said that they had found that I was not ovulating the way that I should have and I was very disappointed, to say the least.  And then in December I did the same routine and they tested and I had only got a 0.6 on a scale of 12.  So after discussing the results with the doctor, she wanted me to do one more month of the 50mg for January.  And like I thought, no luck.  I am starting this month with the 100mg Clomid to see if maybe we will have luck with the higher dosage.  But with all of this going on I am getting closer to finishing school and working so maybe we can get some good news soon.  I will keep ya'll updated with the things that are going on in my crazy and busy life.....but keep us in your prayers and we will let God take care of the rest.
