Updating the never ending boring old story... 6.2

June 2, 2007

Hello, hello... yet again.  I don't know what cycle we're on or what day or anything, how's that for a change?  I haven't taken a temperature since I began the new cycle and I haven't taken any medication (aka clomid, cinnamon extract, mucinex, etc).  So, shabam on whoever... we're not trying

but are we?

Ah hah... surprise, surprise.  I saw "The Insider" (news/magazine show) where they were showing a man who gave up his family to live with wolves for 18 months.  Apparently, he said he'd do it again in a minute... but regardless, it showed him teaching a baby wolf to howl.  That baby wolf looked like our baby Wrigley  (when

he was slightly smaller than in this picture).  It made me want another puppy (as dh has been begging for all year).  Then I thought, the same thing I've been telling him--we're trying to have a baby human, not a baby dog.  And low and behold I went to the phone and contacted our hospital and asked for a female ob/gyn on staff (our insurance covers the whole location).  They told me that they were connecting me to "nurse practitioner Becky's" office.  I explained to the nurse/med asst. that I was a new patient, not going to any of the ob/gyn's in that location and that I had insurance and had been seen in the hospital before.  I told them that we've been on clomid for seven cycles now while temping and checking cm and nadda, and that we've been trying for well over eighteen months.  The nurse/med asst. said that they didn't know if they took infertillity cases and that they would call back after discussing it with npBecky.  About two or so hours later they called confirming that they indeed DO take on infertillity cases and that npBecky wanted to see us... so I have an appt. for Tuesday at 6:30pm.  (and they have evening hours which ROCKS!). 

My hope is that I can discuss with her the idea of IUI and we can go with that... so we'll see.

Also... lemme throw something atcha, and please please please, leave me a message on my ttmboard and tell me your thoughts and opinions...

After working so so long trying to conceive... and knowing what it's like to have infertillity and the possibilty of never conceiving (as some/most of us do on here) I have a firm feeling that if we do IUI and conceive anymore than three healthy embryo's (none that will miscarry on their own) that I would carry them as far along as possible and give birth, giving any beyond three to other infertile couples in our area.  I have a friend R, who married a woman who also has PCOS, and they've gone as far as they can financially afford and are now looking soely (sp?) at adoption.  So... I pray for them constantly and think of them often and just really feel that if I could give away that pain, I would.  Because, regardless of disabilities I would not abort any child that God implanted in my body.... I feel all human life is a gift, a blessing, and something or someone to love.

So... what are your feelings?  (and please know, you won't offend me if you say--if you had more than two you should get rid of them). 

I'll try to update with the plans after my appt.

~Amanda~

Congrats Tiffany... any names yet?

Shannon... I feel you and your pain.... we know what it's like.  We all have to remember, one day at a time.  (even if that day sux... at least that means tomorrow should be better!)

Anne--whered you go girl?!  I'm going to preggo's today to look for you.
