New Update – Nothing New

Posted on

So that last time I updated was on Jan 1st when my cycle had come after I got a weeks full of positive pregnancy test. Well there is nothing new to really update y’all on because nothing has really happened. Well besides having the worst cold every that still lingers almost 2 weeks later :( Ohh and we celebrated my birthday & went on a mini vacation!

Heading out for my 26th birthday dinner

Heading out for my 26th birthday dinner

I started my cycle on Jan 1st and ended it on the 7th. I tempted almost all month and did ovulation test for weeks but nothing has confirmed ovulation. I am going with it happened and I just didn’t catch it, well hopefully. Well you know what I take that back – I think I could have ovulated around Jan 30 which is the day after my birthday.

Possible OPK - idk why it shows so light in the picture.

Oh and I found that temping is to stressful and hard! I for one don’t sleep for 8hrs every night, never get up at the same time, forget all the time to stick that thing in my mouth first thing in the morning, and then I was checking it and totally forgetting to put it on my chart and would fall back asleep. Then when I got up I totally forgot what the temp was and my gadget doesn’t keep the last temp on it. So I don’t think that is for me! So right now I am just playing the waiting game. My app says my cycle should be starting in about 8 days so I will be testing in about 8 days and just pray. I do have to say all our bases are covered if in fact I did O – which is a good thing! I have been nauseous a few times this week which I am hoping is a positive sign :)

I have been addicted to buying baby items/clothing. I cannot get myself to stop now! I went yrs without not buying a thing but then all my lovely ladies on instagram started sharing their pre-baby buys and I thought okay ill just buy a few things. But not Target has had huge clearance on baby items and I just cannot stop! How can you not buy darling clothing with they are 70% off? You can see all the darling items I have bought the past few weeks in the video above.

I do want to share our little mini vacation the hubby & I went off to this weekend. Being a mommy is the most wonderful thing on the planet but I strongly believe that at some point mommy & daddy need a getaway to strengthen their relationship once in a while. As much as I missed little man I had the most wonderful time with my husband. Our relationship is seriously amazing but we haven’t been away by ourselves since Rhylan was I think 2 yrs old so that was about 4 1/2 yrs ago. Being with my husband every second of the day this weekend is seriously what we needed. We ended up going to Asheville, NC which is about 2hrs from here to the Biltmore House. That place is so overwhelming, but so beautiful. Actually beautiful doesn’t describe this place. If you ever have a chance to go its a must see! Its the hugest residence besides the white house I think. It was built by a bachelorette with 250 rooms, 43 bathrooms, the house is 4 acres!!! And it is full of amazing detailed work, furniture & just wow its beautiful!

Shattered Dreams

Posted on

Guess who’s back? Yup me crushed more than ever but hanging on.

So the last blog I posted was about last week when I was getting a bunch of positive pregnancy test. Several – not like 1 or 2 but like 10. So I was really really confident that I was pregnant. I had the symptoms – I was sick, moody, tired, cramps, tightness & so much more. Out of all the 5yrs of trying this time really felt like it was it. I even for the first time picked up some baby clothes on clearance at Target because I really thought it was it.

I ended up calling the doctor and asking for a blood test so I could check my levels. I had that done on a Thursday, but I called on Friday and they didn’t have them back yet so I had to wait all weekend and half of Monday before they called at like 4pm. She said that my HCG levels were only at 1. For it to be positive it needs to be over 5. To make matters worse I was out to eat with my mom and brother so when she called I tried to hold it together. I ended up breaking down and of course my mom wanted to know why. I just told her that it was my PCOS and nothing was working. I didn’t want to tell her about what I had been going through because honestly she doesnt understand. She tells me that I either need to lose weight or have sex every single day all day. Yes because that is how you become magically prego. Anyways I held it together and carried on with what we were doing. Luckily she took little man and I headed home .

Ohh wait I cant forget the huge banana split I ate to make my sorrows go away – that only lasted 20min :(

The whole way home I bawled my eyes out trying to think of why, what if’s, and just so confused. An old friend of mine had left a cd in my car and I popped it in thinking maybe it could help me. Sometimes listening to music during a difficult time can be very comforting. This was the song that really touched me and just fit perfectly to how I was feeling.

So here I was confused as to why I felt prego, why I was having all the symptoms and of course all the positive test. I was so sure it was it that I even made a YouTube video for the hubby that had pictures from when we first got together and then up until now & at the very end it said “ready for round #2 coming 2013″. This is how I was going to surprise him because I figured he would have no clue until the end and be totally shocked. I watched the video over and over again and just played how his reaction would be. After hearing the results I couldn’t keep myself together. I came home all alone and hubby wouldn’t be home for another 4hrs so I laid in the recliner in the dark, listening to this song over and over again and just sobbing. Hubby finally came home and we had actually had a disagreement the day before so we weren’t really talking a lot but he did come home and laid next to me on the recliner just holding me and crying with me. He can be a butt sometimes but he sure knows how to make me feel better. We talked a bit and since it was New Years Eve we decided that we should head over to a friend’s house for dinner instead of sulking.

So can you guess what happened that following morning? Yup AF started :,(

Not only did she start but she came full force doing some damage. I was in so much pain that I laid on my parents couch all day long with a heating pad. Of course she had to make an appearance just to rub it in my face that I wasn’t pregnant.

So what do I think happened? Well I think it was a chemical pregnancy. Very heartbreaking because I had one last month as well. I have no clue what I have to do to conceive and have a healthy and happy baby just like I did with Rhylan. I had this path that me & so many other women have to go through to conceive something we want to badly. I pray that this is the year that I will get pregnant – 5 yrs is seriously long enough. Before I know it Rhylan will be 10 and then I will have to start all over.

So here we are at square one again – Its cycle day 6 and this month I did a round of 150mg Clomid. OB said this will be my last round and if its not successful we will be heading to the RE Fertility Clinic. I am going to try try try to not test before 2wks this round. Last month I swear I wasted abut 50 test strips, so I need to get real this time. I am praying praying praying this cycle is it – I am sick of trying, begging, wishing I just want it to happened. I am so tired of seeing everyone on Facebook having babies, or getting pregnant. It seriously doesn’t make this process any easier :(

So hopefully my next update with be me showing some big BFP’s because on the 29th I will be turning 26 and how amazing would that be? Best birthday ever :)


New Cycle – Positives & Negatives – Is This It?

Posted on

So the last time I blogged I blogged about HSG test & how everything came back normal.

That was on cycle day 8. And this cycle I was put on 100mg of Clomid. Fast forward to Dec 10th where we had a Huhner Test done. A Huhner test is where you will have relations with your spouse, try to keep all the semen in, run to the doctor, prop you legs up on those nasty stir-ups and let them suck the semen out of you. Ya I know disgusting – but how else could I put it LOL! This test is to tell if the semen is mixing well with your mucus. Now we did have this test done 2 months ago and the doctor wasn’t pleased with the results so we did it again. This time the doc said everything looked fabulous and they were just a swimming.

I then went back to the day for my Cycle day 21 blood work where they can determine if I ovulated or not. I had my test done Dec 17th and the results came back that I didn’t ovulate :( The weird part about this is that Monday morning of that bloodwork I got a blaring positive OPK. Being so positive that meant that I would ovulate 12-18hrs after that. So when she called to tell me my bloodwork came back like that I didn’t get upset because they took bloodwork way to soon. See someone with a normal cycle will always ovulate by day 21. Women with messed up cycles and PCOS can ovulate very late. Me being one with PCOS and irregular periods I knew that just because it said I didn’t ovulate I felt that I was ovulating late. Even that day I thought that maybe I had ovualted because I was bloated, cramping on one side, sore nipples + more. Every one of my symptoms that next Tuesday matched ovulation. So I honestly think that I did ovulate it was just late.

Test Results Came Back…

Posted on

So this month I had two important test done…

The first test I had done Dec 3rd was the HSG test – Basically it was a test where they injected dye into my tubes to see if they were clogged, broken, etc. The above picture is mine. There was a lot of talk by women that had this done and they said it was pretty painful to take some advil an hour before and prepare for the worst. I was so nervous going in, that I made myself so sick. Luckily the procedure was a bit uncomfortable but seriously was not bad at all! You felt some cramping, and a few uncomfortable moments and that was it.

Today I got my test results back and my tubes & everything else is NORMAL!!!!!! No a single thing is wrong with them, they are working right. Praise the lord :)
