SAY HELLO TO OUR LITTLE PEANUT!


I'm Pregnant! I just got through my first trimester. I am 14 weeks and 4 days now. Justin and I are so happy that it finally happened. What a great miracle! We have been trying for over two years, and we were trying everything. We started with acupuncture, body basal temperature charting, ovulation tests, better dieting. After a year of this we ran some tests on Justin and we went to our obgyn and started a round of Clomid. Still nothing. After some tests were done it was found that there was some scar tissue blocking the cervix. I did a minor surgery to clear the scar tissue. We went back to the clomid, acupucture, body basal temperature charting, ovulating tests and still no results. It is so hard every month waiting and hoping to see if your pregnant only to be disappointed time and time again.

Since it seemed like nothing was working, I told Justin "That was it. I am done. I just want to relax, breath and not stress about it anymore." So the next day I called my obgyn and told her that I was done with the clomid, and thatI was taking a break from everything. She agreed with me, but she referred Justin and I to a specialist.

So Justin and I went to see our specialist, and our jaws hit the floor when we heard the prices. For 15,000 we would have a 40% chance of getting pregnant. We decided to go for it. We set an appointment two weeks later for Justin.

The night before we went in for Justin's appointment I took a pregnancy test because I was two days late. For the first time it was positive. When I saw that it was positive, I couldn't believe it. My brother in law was just walking by my room and he heard me talking to my self saying "Is this for real? I can't believe it. Noooo could this really be true?"

We ended up still going in for Justin's appointment. As he was getting his blood drawn we found out that his test was going to cost over $1,000. We told the nurse about the home pregnancy test and so they canceled Justin's tests and took my blood, to confirmed that I was pregnant.

Anyways, I was able to get through my first trimester. It was a little tough. I felt sickness hear and there, but only puked once. I was feeling super tired, a little grumpy, and very emotional at times. I also had a hard time with certain foods, and their smells. I just finally started to feel better. Now I am back to my normal routine of working out, eating better and being in a better mood.

We are just so happy with out little peanut now and so excited to meet he/or she in a few months.

Congratulations! We didn't have to do the month by month infertility, just one end-all diagnosis in favor of IVF, but I can sympathize! It's so amazing when anyone gets preggers, but I feel especially happy for those that have been waiting for it!!
