Ok, so lets start at the begining....

My Darling Husband (DH) and I were married on May 20th 2006. Shortly after we had to move as my husband got a great job in a nearby city. I worked a couple of odd jobs trying to find one that fit well but didn't find anything for a while. During this time in the fall of 2006 my husband and i started to stop our birth control and see what would happen. After a few false alarms i started to worry as i have always had issues with my Aunt Flow (AF) and her timing. She always came either late or not at all since i was 11. I had always said i might have problems to my DH but he always told me not to worry. In the summer of 2007 I had been waiting on AF and she was, as usual, 2 months late. So i decided to go to the walk in clinic nearby and see if they could do a pregnancy test on me. It was negative but they did a blood test just in case and ordered an ultra sound. I was called into the clinic a couple days later and was told i had PCOS. This is when every thing in my life can in line. It is the reason i have alot of the issues i do like weight, hair, and more. Anyway i don't want to go to deep into it just to leave you with a understanding of what has happened in the past few years. I was sent to a couple different doctors and had a Laser Lap. which didn't work, I was back to square one within 2 months after it. I was then on Clomid and a combo of Clomid and Metformin. I found that the 150 dose of clomid was the only one that worked for me. After being on it at 150 for 6 months i went off of it for a couple months to give my body a break. Then we went back on it. Unfortunately this time it didn't work any more. That is when my Gyno told me that he thought i should go to a Fertility Clinic. And here is were i am now. Well kinda... i've already had my first visit, but that will be for the next blog, i've rambled on enough for now.

hey there alicia! i'm so sorry to hear about your infertility. i've found that blogging is a good way for me to get my feelings out on the topic.
i hope your appointment with the fertility dr. was better than ours 1.5 yrs ago.

I read a blog recently and found that the women writing it was exactly like me. Of course they had a few different issues with IF but we were very much alike. After that i decided the best way for me to express myself and even reach out to others is by doing this blog. Please read my newest blog as i wrote all about my first visit.
