The Journey Continues

After the devastation of not being pregnant I set up an appointment for Marc and I to go see a fertility specialist. We went Wednesday before our trip to Vegas. The doctor was very matter of fact, but did mention PCOS is pretty common and she works with many woman who have it and has a high success rate of helping them get pregnant. We did an ultra sound where she saw that my right ovary is less PCOSy than my left. She was a bit concerned about how close my left ovary was to my uterus so she set up for me to have a hysterosalpingogram. This procedure pushes die through your cervix to your fallopian tubes....you then have an x-ray done to see if the tubes are blocked. The rest of the appointment was just overwhelming with all the information thrown at me. I got a bit emotional, but left with more information about what I was really dealing with. And like my friend Crystal reminded me..Knowledge is POWER!I had the procedure scheduled for Monday and we left for our vacation.

Our vacation is Vegas was amazing...it not only gave Marc and I time to go have some much needed fun and relaxation, it provided me insight to the big picture. We went on a zip line in Boulder City and it was breath takingly beautiful. There is really something to be said about being in nature and realizing there is something bigger than ourselves. It was then I decide I need to relax. Worrying about the process and what I was going to be told isn't going to do me any good considering it won't change the outcome. I am looking at it now more as when/how it will happen rather than if it will happen. This vacation really saved my sanity.

So yesterday I went in for my procedure. It really wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. I mean don't get me wrong it's always uncomfortable when someone is all up in your business like that, but nothing a little humor couldn't get me through. The best part is everything came back normal. I don't have any blockages and my uterus looks healthy. Now Marc will go and get tested on Friday and we will make a plan from there. The doctor is pretty sure next steps will include Clomid and insemination to help the process along. This month we are just having fun, although I do have all the signs of ovulation just being on my Metformin so that is great! Just having to keep positive thoughts going and we will get through this journey.

We are so blessed to have all our amazing friends and family. The support that has been pouring out is truly amazing and greatly appreciated. What we have learned thus far through the journey is we need to talk to each other more. You never know who might have had the same struggles as you or who may have the one thing to say that will give you hope. Marc and I are choosing to let this journey bring us closer together as a couple, bring our families closer together and open our eyes to who really do care about us and who we can just let go of. We are learning a lot and will continue to learn a lot through our journey. I couldn't have asked for a better guy to go through it with......this is true love!
