Getting Pretty Excited

My sister-in-law Tracey and myself

It's been a month since I have last written and there are some exciting things on the horizon. First, all the looking deeper in myself and making changes I talked about in my last blog has been going well. It's amazing how when you look really deep in yourself what you find. Although, I did loose a friend, I have gained so many more and strengthened the ones I have. My relationship with my family is even more amazing now than it always has been and my relationship with my in-laws, especially my sister-in-law who has struggled along with me to have a positive relationship together, is dramatically improving with each moment. It is so much nicer to be in a good place and enjoy the memories we are making together as a family. I really do love all of them! My relationship with my husband is better than ever and I am feeling great about myself physically, mentally and spiritually. It has not been an easy thing to do and will continue to be something I work on each day, but it has truly made my life better. It's defiantly the silver lining to a situation that started off poorly.

This weekend was my husband's birthday. We had the most amazing time.  We spent some quality time together and got to see all of our friends. The party last night was the most fun we have had in a long time. Unlike other parties we have had or experiences we have been a part of last night was nothing but fun! Everyone was in great spirits and there was absolutely NO drama.  I am telling you life is changing and it's doing so for the better. I can't wait to see what comes next for us!

The only bummer of the weekend was I started AF, which we all know BLOWS, BUT I am kind of excited because that means the beginning of my next cycle, we are jumping back on the TTC bandwagon! I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!! Marc and I are in an amazing place with everything. We have had a long while to discuss and think about what we want our next steps to be and how we are feeling about all of it. We have decided to continue with a few more IUI's with requests for some different steps. I would like to take the shots instead of Clomid to induce ovulation. Although there is more risk for multiples, there is also a greater chance of getting pregnant and we are SO ready for that. I had someone tell me about when she did her IUI that was successful, her dr. did an ultrasound while it was happening to make sure everything was going where it was supposed to. I will also ask for this along with the possibility of doing 2 IUI's back to back to increase our chances.  I have a doctors appointment with my regular OBGYN to make sure everything is still looking good the first week of March, then we will start making our appointments with our RE. It's a pretty exciting time for us!!!!! Marc and I are ecstatic to get started again with TTC  and are high spirited and hopeful for a positive outcome and to be part of TEAM 2012.

I want to give a shout out to the ladies who have been recently diagnosed with PCOS and are going through the initial emotions and questions that can be so overwhelming. I have found out one of my friends recently got diagnosed with PCOS. It can be a very scary thing, but I want her to know I am here if she needs me and the symptoms and emotions get easier the more we learn about it. Although it's sucks to have PCOS I am glad to have you fighting the fight with us as a fellow Cyster. :)

I will ofcourse keep everyone updated on our journey. I will blog again after my doctors appointment in March. I can't say it enough.....THANK YOU for sticking with me and being supportive and the most amazing people to have in my life. I am appreciative of and blessed to have each and everyone of you in my life.

HERE'S TO TEAM 2012!!!!!!!
