My Story

Two blog posts in one day? Crazy I know BUT Jay D is staying late at work and I am SUPER bored!! I'm sure I could do something productive but that would mean I have to get up off the couch. Everyone says to enjoy being pregnant the first time when you don't have another little one running around.. oh I am enjoying! he he

Now I have talked about it taking me a long time to get pregnant well here is my story.

When I first decided to go off Birth Control it wasn't to get pregnant right away I had just heard that it took a few months to get it out of your system before you could get pregnant (not for everyone but for some) So I went off in Sept. of 09. I wasn't planning on getting pregnant but knew that within that year I would like to get pregnant.

In November my parents asked us if we wanted to go to Mexico with them.. of course we said yes! That was our Christmas that year. So I told Jay D we couldn't get pregnant because I didn't want to be sick and prego in Mexico!

Well November I noticed that something was wrong because I hadn't had my visit that month. I called the doctor and they gave me medicine after confirming I wasn't pregnant with a test. I wasn't too concerned right than.

We went to Mexico enjoyed every minute of it and I than decided okay I am ready to get pregnant whenever now! I had still been having problems but was due for my doctors appointment in May and thought I would just wait until than to see what was wrong.

I went to my appointment and asked him about it and he said well sounds like your not ovulating I will put you on clomid and hopefully see you ina couple months. I was like "that's it?" Your just going to give me some medicine and everything will be okay?

Well some of you know and some of you don't but Twins run in my family and I didn't want to increase my chances of having multiples so I went to get a 2nd opinion.

Now this was almost a year later after I had gone off birth control and by now I was REALLY ready to have a baby. I was SO baby hungry I couldn't stand it! That doctor said about the same thing. I was like I KNOW something is wrong I've gone on the clomid and nothing is still working. I don't know how this works? I've never been pregnant before. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!

It started getting to the point where people would ask when I was going to have a baby and I just wanted to scream I'd like one now but it ain't happening! I wanted to surprise everyone with the exciting news....

Finally after about 6 months of being on clomid and still no baby in my tummy I decided to go to a Mid Wife who I had thought about going too but wasn't sure if my insurance was covered there. Because something was obviously wrong with me.

The first thing she did was take my blood (thank you something other than here is this medicine hope to see you soon). Than she talked about me loosing 10% of my body weight because I was overweight for my height. I wasn't offended I knew I had gained a lot of weight since I had been married and had wanted to loose it.

I started weight watchers and it was a challenge but it really helped. After a couple months I just did it on my own because it was really expensive to do. I love 10% of my weight and got started on clomid BUT she actually had me come in and get ultrasounds every other day to see when I was ovulating. It only took two rounds of this and voila I was pregnant!

I am so thankful to my mid wife and know without her I would still be "trying" no fun!

There were days I was down and there were days I was grateful and now we are just excited! My testimony has grown so much from this experience and I am thankful for our savior and all he has done for us!

That's my story! =-)
