So, what's been going on in my life. My husband and I have been dealing with infertility. This blog will most likely include a great deal of information that some would describe as TMI, but when you've been dealing with this for years, you start to not care. The only "problem" with our fertility appears to be with me. I've been diagnosed with PCOS, and more specifically, I simply don't ovulate like I should. My cycles are highly irregular to the point that they are completely unpredictable, and they do eventually just stop. Over the last year, I took 7 total cycles of Clomid until, on my third cycle of 200 mg a day, I was able to get pregnant at the end of April 2014. Unfortunately, I then miscarried and had to have a D&C on June 20. Since then, we've been seeing an RE (reproductive endocrinologist) for more tests and treatment. The tests have confirmed that I'm the only "problem" and that the only issue I seem to have is the anovulation. Unfortunately, since I've already had so many cycles of Clomid, the RE is not comfortable with ever giving me any more. Now, we had originally planned to stop trying if we had to move to injectable medications, but once we talked to our insurance and realized that they actually covered more of the hormones then we thought they did, we did decide to go further and see if we can succeed with the hormones. The medications have been ordered and should be arriving on Tuesday, so we'll be able to actually get the ball rolling soon I hope!
On the craft side of life, I'm still crocheting, but nothing new or exciting lately. I'm starting to teach myself how to knit, but haven't finished a project yet so no pictures are available there. I did recently get to decorate a cake and cupcakes for my Uncle and lovely new Aunt's wedding.
My husband also got me a lovely little kitten for my birthday. Her name is Morgana.
Well, that's it for now. It's off to bed soon, so have a blessed day!
