So Special

I met with a new fertility specialist today. I am actually impressed. He was thorough, to the point, and had new insight. He did a quick physical exam to make sure he didn't find anything unusual and sent me for lab work to have the quality of my eggs checked which I don't remember ever having that done before.

Smears Tears

I had my annual exam and discussed with my favorite OB that I had been trying to get pregnant again for 2 full years. I will admit that for the first year of Chiefs life I was wishing to somehow become "surprisingly" pregnant. Then Chief turned two and even pretending to not to be in a rush wasn't fooling anyone, especially me. (sidenote: All of those people who tried to say that after my body got pregnant the first time, it would be easy to get pregnant a second time ...they were wrong.)

So there I was sitting on the paper-lined table talking about what steps to take and what specialist to see to help me with my problematic infertile body and all I could think was "I can't believe I am doing this again."

Here I go again

Is anyone else humming Whitesnake as they read this title? LOVE 80's music. Anyway, here I go again ... fertility treatments in an attempt to bear another child. I have a 3 year old miracle son and hope to have a few more miracles in my life. I am writing this blog as a journal to help me remember all of the good and even the bad. I will also be sharing some of my past experiences. I will try to be brutally honest and hope you will laugh, cry, and hope with me.
