Well, I'm tired of this infertility journey. Can it be over? Isn't almost 3 years of "the journey" enough!!! Please?!? Rather than growing from this experience, I feel like I'm shrinking. We've done Clomid 6 or 7 rounds, 2 IUIs and began the third, but that round got cancelled since my body wasn't responding well to the meds. We may try one more IUI before moving on. So, we've attended our first IVF info. session. That has given us things to process through before we make that decision. I felt like I was back in a biology lecture.
I think we will struggle through trying to change lifestyle habits - work on changing eating habits to help the PCOS and maybe help me begin to ovulate regularly. Any good suggestions out there for fertility-related diets? We have one book we're going to work through and see. If I could lose some weight, I know that might help too. It's just hard when you're so down - you know?
Anyhow. This is my first blog ... I feel like I'm really putting myself out there, although I know I haven't said much yet. I just long to connect with other bloggers out there who know what I'm going through. I long to be a mother so badly. I've titled my blog "30 and Patiently Waiting to Be a Mommy" - although, I'm not feeling patient...I figured it would be a good reminder to me that it's not in my hands (although I sure wish it was!) and I just have to trust and wait.
Thanks for posting on my giveaway. I just read your blog entry & can totally identify. I became a mom for the first time at the age of 36. Now we have a beautiful 3 (almost 4) year old. I'm very familiar with clomid & all that stuff. It can be so frustrating. But you are right it isn't in our hands & as much as we don't like it God's timing is always perfect. Keep believing! :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blogging world! I found you on Jess's page. I just started in Jan too and it's helped tremendously. The support is amazing and my real life people just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteWhere is your title picture from? It's gorgeous!! Look forward to following you and hearing more about how IUI #3 goes. Good luck!
The picture is from our trip to Newfoundland a few years ago. I believe the redish hills in the background are the Tablelands. It was so beautiful!
