A dream

Testing. Testing. Testing.

I guess I should start from the beginning. Don't worry I'll keep it short, okay kind of short, and sweet. I am the ripe age of 24 (July 20th is the big 25) and my husband of nearly 6 years is 30 years old. We have a 2 1/2 yr old little miracle boy. Our house is now officially filled with 2 crazy dogs and a cat who doesn't like those crazy dogs.


From the beginning we knew we wanted to start a family right away. After trying for 6 mths I decided to go search for a gynocologist. The first year I went to multiple doctors and I was diagnosed with PCOS. I felt like for the first time we were getting closer to finding answers. It's funny looking back and remembering comments I got from one gyno saying that we are young and need to wait. I'm glad we didn't sit on that advice. After searching I found the gold mine of doctors. She's perfect and to this day I am still satisfied with her.
It was Jake's turn. He was told he had low levels of testosterone and needed to be on hormone treatment for it. During that time I was put on progesterone pills. For those that don't know, progesterone plays a key role in your life, and in pregnancies. So here we were both on hormone treatment and still waiting for a miracle. We spent 2 1/2 years crying, fighting, taking test after test, charting, doctor after doctor.

On May 13, 2010 I came home from a long day at work and went to the guest house we were living in at the time behind Jake's parent's house. Jake was visiting his grandmother and parents up at their house. The day before I remember texting my pregnant sister, Cherrie to ask about some symptoms I was having. She encouraged me to test but in the back of my mind I still felt like this was just another month with crazy hormones. I took the test out and after using it I laid it on the side of the tub next to me. Not even expecting to see two pink lines I nearly left the bathroom to go change clothes. I happened to look down and there they were. I can't even describe the feeling I had.
My heart was pounding.
I couldn't breathe.
POSITIVE.

  On January 5, 2011 we welcomed a bouncing baby boy. He is the twinkle in my eye. He is now 2 1/2 yrs old and crazier than ever. A rock collector, lover of dogs, a fan of Team Umizoomi, and a little trickster.


So here we are nearly 6 yrs later waiting for another miracle. My hopes with this blog is to write down the ups and downs of our infertility marathon. Just praying that we can get to the finish line and feel like we fulfilled our dream.
