WOW!!

Wow! I am actually going to start a page about my journey of having our blessing.. our baby. Me and my DH have been TTC for about 1 &1/2 years now, and even though it is not as long as others, so us it seems like forever right now. We both are very strong in our faith and believe that all things work in God's timing. So while we wait for Him to decide when its a good time for us to have our blessing, I decided to start this blog. It will be fun for me to write down my journey and have others read and who knows, it may help someone who will read it or come across it searching the web or anything. I am so excited! I will try to stay on top of everything and make frequent stops and updates.

So a little about us. ... I married my DH in November 2006 and we have been happily married ever since. We have always wanted children and have been TTC for about 1 year now. We were having problems mainly because of me. It took me 4 OBG's to finally figure out that I needed to get laparoscopy in December 2006 to diagnose me with Endo after having a painful previous year and loosing so much blood that I became anemic. We were told to start trying to conceive after the surgery because my OB didn't think that there was any problem with us getting pregnant.. Well.... 6 months later and no baby I finally asked my OB to send us a referral to an RE.

Went to my first consultation and loved it!! My RE started me on pre-natals (which none of my OB's ever did!) and they got me started on a check list with things that I need to get done and what order they are going to do it in and how each method will help them in determining how I can get pregnant.. AWESOME!!!!!

Let the blood work begin!!!!!! So I had blood tests done and my insulin checked. Where the normal range is from 0.0-around 26.0 mine was extremely high at 64.0 for my insulin. I have been checked for diabetes in the past but was always told all my levels are under control. My DH went online and researched this for me because of course, I was stressing! ( I mean, how can my levels be so high?!? and what does that mean?? ) He saw that I may have PCOS and the symptoms were right down my lane! So now I am currently on a mission to get this evaluated by my RE. I am going to get my glucose 2 hour test done on this Monday.I cant wait because at least I can be diagnosed properly if I was previously misdiagnosed with endo. But on the other hand this is another issue that I will have to get through if I do have PCOS.
