Things going on... Good and bad...

[lust2dust]

So has some of you know I was diagnosed with something called Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. Well a few months later I was diagnosed with something called Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. Both of these things cause infertility. Well it is after midnight so three days ago (6/13/2010) I started my first round of fertility treatments. My OB/GYN has started me on 50 mg of Clomid. I have done a lot of research on this medication and it does work for a lot of couples. It has a 60% pregnancy rate (the average couple has normally 25-35% in any given month). I'am so excited to be starting this process, My husband and I have gone through quite a bit in the past year. We went through another miscarriage a few months ago. At that time I was poked and prodded and the doctors ran alot of tests. Well I was 9 1/2 weeks pregnant and I had only known for about a week maybe a week and a half. When it happened I knew immediately that I was in trouble and that my baby was in trouble. I went to the ER right away but it was already too late. Well that pregnancy was not anticipated because I was told that it would be almost impossible to get pregnant. Well it happened and I didn't even put two in two together. Well anyway it has been a little over 8 weeks and my doctor told me that I can now start the treatments. My husband and I are so excited to be doing this. Our entire relationship has been filled with heartache and despair when it came to being parents again. We had a child together when I was 17 and my husband was 19. At the time we had decided that our son deserved a better life than two teenagers could give him. It makes me happy that my son is still living and is very happy. I have had 2 live births, 1 stillborn and now 2 miscarriages. My oldest who would have turned 9 this past December, she however passed away when she was 4. She is the reason we wanted our son to be taken care of, to be happy and healthy. I am sorry if this is depressing, I did not plan on that being the outcome of this post. I just wanted to share things that are going on and some of the reasons why I have been away for some time.
