Feeling Awesome!

Well as you can already tell this is an emotional roller coaster. One day you'll be so angry and upset, the next day you'll get great news and it all seems ok in the world. Today is definitely a good day for me. I've realized that by me sharing this experience I'm helping other friends of mine and that makes me feel awesome. Someone recently found out she's pregnant and it was definitely an oops baby, she told me that by knowing what I'm going through it had helped her decide to keep her baby. That made me feel really good about sharing this with everyone. So, here I go continuing with my journey...

I had my fertility specialist appointment today with Dr. Nayler at the group! My mother in law is very supportive of us going through this all and went to the appointment with me since Joel and my mom were both working. Dr. Nayler seems very nice and completely understanding. He's also been in the business for a long time recognizing my mother in law from when she had her 2 youngest! That gives me a lot of reassurance!!

We first had to talk about the miscarriage and that was difficult. He didn't ask too many questions which made things a lot easier. And then talked with me about what we could do. He said there's IUI and IVF but, he felt I didn't need it right now and it's quite pricey. He then said that we could do something like Clomid to help me ovulate but since it made me sick he recommended we do progesterone suppositories when I get a positive ovulation test until I find out I'm not pregnant. If I am pregnant I'll continue taking it until I'm out of the first trimester. Having already tried the clomid, and last month ovulated on my own I decided to try the progesterone suppositories. Dr. Nayler wants me to start temping my basal body temperature, charting it and using the ovulation predictor tests. I ran out to Walgreens today and stocked up.. I'm ready for this!!

I feel completely hopeful for this month. I keep thinking it's meant to be for us. This will happen and this will work. Even if it doesn't work this month, my progesterone levels will be up and it'll just be a hit & miss instead of infertility. I will be conquering the one thing keeping Joel and I from being parents. I'll be conquering infertility which unfortunately a lot of women can't say they've done or can do. Any woman who can say they've conquered it are truly blessed and would definitely have a miracle on their hands. I'm grateful I still have options to try and really hope this works on the first time because I'm very inpatient!! I feel a miracle coming around the corner.. it's just a matter of time now!
