Continuing

I have been continuing to go to Dr. Young office at the Fertility Center in Grand Rapids. I am taking the Follisten Pen. I started taking 75 and now have moved up to 125. The uterus lining looks good and thick, but the follicles are still too small. I go in to the office about two times a week to have an ultrasound and blood work. The nurses are very nice and encouraging. We have some serious items to consider in the coming months, but we will cross that bridge later. Right now we are excited for the possibility of bringing home a baby in the next year! 

The Start

On Monday, June 29 the journey to create a baby took a serious turn. It is time to get serious about getting pregnant. We have been trying unsuccessfully for a year to get pregnant using clomid. We have finally been referred to the fertility specialist in Grand Rapids. We spoke with Dr. Young on Monday to set up a treatment plan. I am excited about the possibilities that are to come. The plan includes giving myself injections. I will be going to the doctor for a procedure to make sure there is not blockage in any of the areas. It should be pretty simple, but I hear that it can be painful. I have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), so that is why we have been having trouble. There is increased possibility for multiples which is very exciting-- I would LOVE twins, but I am a little uneasy about triplets. Anything will be a blessing!
