So, the fall of 2008 we were married and stopped using protection; we weren't really trying, but I admit, I knew more of what was going on than my husband did. :)
The day before we had been married 6 months, I lost my job and w/ it, my health insurance. Since pregnancy for me would require lots of monitoring, and medication because of FVL, it was not a good idea for us to continue trying. I was unemployed for 4 months, started back to school(more on that later!), and found a part time job. During this time, we took a TTC break which ended up being about 2 years. I was then able to move up to full time and get health insurance. In December, it was recommended that my husband get a semen analysis(SA) to make sure there were no other issues at play. When we got the results back, it was found that DH(Darling Husband) had a slight motility problem, but after talking w/ the Dr., he felt it wasn't something to be concerned about. In January, we were given 4 more months of trying on our own...that brings us up to now. Due to my PCOS, I don't ovulate on a regular basis, so 4 months turned into 6. July will be our last month trying on our own...I have an appointment w/ my OB on July 18th for my yearly physical, and to discuss our next steps. As far as I know, that will include doing an HSG(hystersalpingogram), which is a test to make sure all my tubes are open, and then we'll start on Clomid, which is a medication to induce ovulation.
I realize I didn't really explain either of my conditions, so I plan on writing a post to explain them both a little better. If there's anything that I post that I don't do a good job of explaining, just let me know, and I'll do my best to elaborate. I added some links to this post, so I hope that helps. :)
I'm hoping for this blog to become like my daily journal, but would love any and all feedback...if you'd like to share your story w/ me or just want to talk, comment below; I'd LOVE to hear from you!!!
