Testing

So after going to see Dr. Howell, he told me he was going to do some testing on Sean and I. Well mostly on me Seans part was a piece of cake.lol. Here is a list of the test I've had so far.

March 3- I had an ulttrasound on the 3rd day of my cycle to see how everything looked(not so comfortable) when you're on the time of the month.

Report- everything looked normal.

March 6- Blood work

Report- Everything looked normal

March 13- Another ultrasound and more dreaded blood work. this untralsound was done on my 13 day of my cycle.

Report- At the time the ultrasound tech said that I had a perfect follicle and that we should try tonight and then 2 days later and to call when I missed my period. The Dr. called me about a week in a half later and said that even though I had a perfect follicle that according to my blood work he wasn't convinced that I was ovulating. Neither am I because I started my period a few days after I spoke to him.

March 17- Sean had his SA done and everything checked out fine-He was soo nervous it was going to be him. I can't blame him no one wants to be the one.

March 30- waiting on the nurse to call to schedule my Folopian Dye Test- Thats where they will shoot dye into my folopian tubes to see if I have any blockage. I'm kinda nervous about this test because they said since I have never been pregnant that my uterous will contract and it will cramp really bad. They said it only last for a few seconds.

Thanks for following our blog and for praying for us. This past week was really hard me.

Timeline Part 2

Anyway.... after trying to start a family for over a year and a half. I decided it was time to go to the Dr. Sean and I both come from big familys. I am from a family of 6 kids and Sean has 2 siblings. My dad is 1 of 5 boys and Seans mom is 1 of 9 children. So as you can see we never thought having children would be an issue. My brother and his wife became pregnant there first month of trying. I am soo excited to be an Aunt in early August.

When we first went to the doctor last month, he said that the odds are we should of been pregnant by now. I wasn't completely surprised by his comment, because I know lots of people that get pregnant normally within the first 6 months of trying. He is a really nice and caring doctor and told us that he was going to take care of us.

Timeline Part 1

To give you guys a little timeline... Sean and I started trying to have a family in August 2007. At first when we didn't conceive we didn't worry, but after a year become a little concerned. I will write more tomorrow.

New Blog

I have decided to start this blog as a way to keep track of our journey to conception. And hopefully to one day adopt also.
