Were Have I Been?????Well.....

If you have wondered were I have been well......

Thats right!! Im pregnant!! We found out on 6/13/2011 and since then we have just been saying our prayers and holding our breath that everything would go ok. We did have a small scare around 8 weeks but everything was just fine and now that we are in the second trimester we are a little less worried. I know that you are never safe during pregnancy but i cant hold my breath any longer im going to enjoy everyday of this pregnancy from now on, hopefully all the way up to the birth of my baby!! I just pray to god everyday that everything will go great the rest of the pregnancy and thank him every night for this miracle! Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers i will keep you updated.

Poor neglected blog....

I know I know... I'm sorry I have not posted recently I have been very busy with my family and friends and we are going out of town tomorrow. But a quick update I didn't ovulate again last month :( so we are still going back to the doctor next month for a follow up to see what's next so I will keep you posted. I promise :) but feeling very optimistic lately I know god has a plan for Jonathan and I so I'm keeping my chin up!! Everyone have a wonderful and safe 4th!
Till next time!

Low Carbs???

Ok so I think I figured out something!! The month I got a positive ovulation I was doing low carb.. Well this past month I didn't because of the holiday and honestly i got a little lazy and i did not ovulate?????? I'm wondering if there is any connection to this... I'm going to try it again this month to see what happens, but does anyone know if this is even possible..or has any insight I would appreciate it!!! Here goes nothing..

Ps hope everyone had a happy memorial day, god bless our troops!

Sad and irritated...

Well as you know from my previous post I ovulated on my own on day 15 last month, but today is day 16 and still no positive! I got so frustrated this morning and just felt like throwing in the towel! What's the damn point! I guess the same old saying goes for everyone TTC "there is always next month" or " it will happen" that just doesn't help! I am sorry this post is short and just me complaining, but I had to get it out somewhere. If anybody knows a good way to get out of this mood... Please share! Thanks everyone

Follow up!!

Ok... So I got to go see my favorite doctor last week!! I got my full physical, ultrasound and bloodwork done to see how I'm doing. My doctor was really happy about me ovulating on my own last month so he wants to see if I do it again these next two cycles and I will get blood work done each time I get a positive test to see how well I'm ovulating if I do good on my own no fertility drugs; if I don't do so well I will start clomid in July! My ultrasound looked good except I had a cyst on one of my ovaries, but he was not worried about it and would check it again in July and he also started me on baby aspirin!! I was confused at first why, but after doing some reading on it I'm glad he did. A low dose aspirin regimen reduces miscarriage and even helps with fertility! And of course I'm still on my metformin and prenantal vitamins! And last but not least and the most important part SEX and lots of it haha! My poor husband jk so right now it's follow the docs orders and do a lot of praying!! If anyone going through a similar situation or know someone who is I would love any advice or feed back thanks everyone!!fingers crossed!

Happy mothers day to all women that have children, weather they are furry animals or actual kids you are all mothers and should be recognized! And a special happy mothers day to all my friends who are such great mothers to there children! Happy Mothers Day Everyone!

Success with Ovulation!

Hope everyone had a great Easter! We spent time with our family which is always wonderful to me here is a pic from Easter of me and my Love!

But now to the GREAT news! So i have only ovulated 2 times in the almost 3 years we have been trying for a baby! This is one of the annoying things of PCOS, but i ovulated last September when i got pregnant and now I just ovulated for the first time since my Miscarriage on Wednesday!! I'm very excited, to those who don't know what I'm talking about Ovulation is when your body releases an Egg and with PCOS that most of the time does not happen. So for it to happen is GREAT! And thanks everyone for the advice on the Ovulation Predictor Kits I decided to go with Clear Blue that has the smiley face, I did not want to have to deal with any confusion! They were expensive, but now that i got a positive ovulation I don't care....I also have never felt my self ovulate which i always thought whatever those people who say you can feel yourself ovulate are just crazy.. Ok i totally retract any thought or anything i have ever said like that because i deffinatley felt my self ovulate i was having low back and side pain like i have never had before, so i was also really excited about that. I'm not getting my hopes up that we well get pregnant this time, Im just real excited that the medicines and diet im doing right now are obviously working and we will see if i ovulate again next month. This just shows me that the work im putting in to this is starting to pay off! Here is the pic of my "Smiley Face' Ha Ha it just made me so excited i took a picture.. I know I am lame but I couldnt help myself!!

Everyone have a great weekend thanks for reading!!

Adoption

Ok, so I have been asked before about adoption and if Jonathan and I have ever considered it! Well here is my thought!! OF COURSE!! We want to be parents more than anything in the world, but let's face it adoption is very hard, expensive and not always certain! But then again so is trying to get pregnant! But since I have gotten pregnant before and the doctors say that I can get pregnant, we want to try all of those options first! But we are fully open to the idea of adoption if we are unable to have a child of our own!
So this is why I am so pOsitive about our situation I guess because I know no matter what one day we will be parents weather the old fashion way or adoption what ever card God deals us!

Hope everyone has a great Easter and weekend!

A New Month

Ok so it's a brand new month, and we are going to really try all the tricks this month. This will be the first time since our miscarriage in December actually trying again. So I'm gonna try ovulation predictor kits this cycle! I have tried them spratacly before but I'm going full force this month, and I need help!!!! I have no idea which brand is the best to use; for example there are ones with a smiley face, ones with two lines ( which may I add is a big tease) I'm just so confused and looking for any good advice on how to track my ovulation! So any advice would be greatly appreciated!

On a brighter note I go for my follow up with my Doctor on May 11th and I'm real excited since I have not seen him since my miscarriage.we will see what he thinks our next steps should be. I also started a much healthier diet and I WILL exercise at least 4 days a week since I have time for it now! So are fingers are crossed and we will see what happens.Well that's all for now and just keeping my prayers and hopes high for baby Robinson to come very soon!

What I am Thankful For!

So I just wanted to take a minute and show my gratitude to god for what he has blessed me with in my life. The Lord has blessed me in many many ways already and even though he has not given me the gift of a child yet, I am thankful for all of this....

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog! I have decided to dedicate this blog to my husband and I's journey to becoming Parents!!! Just a little bit about me if you did not read my old blog, im 25 years old and my husband and i were married on 4/5/2008 and ever since that day we have been trying for a baby of our own.We have dealt with many fertility and ob doctors and unfortunately had a miscarriage at 11 weeks in December of 2010. I have a disease called PCOS with insulin resistance with a tad of Endometriosis mixed in! Yeah im a mess! But my husband thank god is perfect, so its just me that needs the fixing! We LOVE LOVE LOVE children and want to be parents more than anything in the world. I know one day it will happen so i want to document our beautiful, heart aching and loving journey to our Little Miracle!!

Here are a few pics of my wonderful husband and I

I love to hear other couples journeys and stories of there struggles of getting pregnant, having babies, and adoption. I know this is a very sensitive subject for many many people but i have learned recently it helps me to talk about my situation and relate with others going through a similar situation. It gives me hope and assurance that I AM NOT ALONE. I hope you enjoy my posts and please email or comment me if you would like to know anything! GOD BLESS
