Infertility

This I feel has been the title of my life for the past 21 months. It has become a part of my family and something I constantly think about. It has caused a lot of confusion and sadness in our lives. I have been thinking about it a lot lately and I know it is something that will always be a part of my life, but it is up to me to make it as positive as I possibly can. So thats what I am going to try and do from now on. I realize how blessed I am, I have an amazing husband that would go to the end of the earth for me and he is an incredible dad I love him dearly. I have a beautiful little girl that I have enjoyed watching learn and grow every day, she is amazing! Our families have been supportive and loving every step of the way. The lord and the gospel have been a constant support in my life and I know how much he loves me and he has carried me. Wonderful friends who know exactly how I am feeling and have been encouraging and helpful. Of course my doctor who I have probably seen more in the past few months then some of my family. He has been wonderful at helping us and wont give up. With all that I have how can I feel sorry for myself anymore. I can't! I am going to be more positive and try harder to strengthen all that I have in my life!

Now thats off my chest I can update you on our progress. Josh finally got to do his part and get tested to check every aspect of his semen. Lucky he only has one small problem the mucus that carries the sperm is too thick, which means it is hard for the sperm to get out and go find their mate. So with my PCOS and thick mucus makes it hard to make a baby. So our next option is IUI which means the doctor takes a sample for Josh, washes it so it is just sperm, puts and tiny tube into my uterus and shoots the sperm up there. Sorry if this is TMI but to me knowledge is power and I have become very open hoping I can help others in some way. So this will the next adventure on our road of infertility. Josh has an amazing sperm count and I have been doing really well on the fertility drugs so with a little extra help we hope the end results will be a little bundle of joy!


P.S. I really have a great doctor, that is really cheap for infertility. I only pay 35 dollars a month which includes MANY visits and ultrasounds. Then for IUI it will cost 150 dollars which after doing research is cheap, I have seen anywhere from 300 to 600 dollars. Anyway, if anyone is dealing with infertility I would highly recommend my doctor, let me know if you want more info :)
