Well, the last time I left you all, (can I say all? Do I have more than one follower?Mom/sister....are y'all the only ones?! LOL) I mentioned that Paul and I were, and have been trying for a family. We have been trying for about a year and a half now. Let me just start with this.......this is a REALLY hard blog to post. I know I'm putting it all on the line, and out there, and I'm prepared for any and all responses...but please be sensitive, as this is a very sensitive matter. I have always felt better when I write, and so why not document this journey that I KNOW God wants us to be on! So, here goes, from the beginning.
Paul and I met in October of 2006. It was at a Relay for Life Event that I was Co-Chair of. Paul was in the band we had play(we had a mutual friend) we literally had a whirlwind romance!! (you can Private Message me if you want all the details :)) We started dating in January, engaged by May, and Married 08-11-07. Paul is, without a doubt the love of my life...you already know this if you know us. We always said that we wanted to wait about 5 years before we started a family. We wanted time for Us especially since we didn't "date" a long time. And we have seen and done a lot, and I'm so appreciative, and grateful for those opportunities! However, at about the 4 year mark, I told Paul I really felt like we should start trying. I wanted to make sure everything was OK. I had in the back of my mind, that we may have a hard time...and boy was that intuition correct!
Fast forward to.....Monday January 21st...(OK, technically, that is rewinding, but I'm trying to get you all caught up..bare with me!)
OK-- The 21st, my OBGYN scheduled an HSG..if you don't know what this is, you can find it here http://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-reproduction/guide/hysterosalpingogram-21590 We were very nervous, but excited to be finding out some answers. Did I mention we have been trying since about August of 2011? OK, so I had the procedure done, and the radiologist said my left Fallopian tube was blocked, and a day later my OBGYN confirmed. So, here we are, not great news, but not terrible! I spent this whole week going through so many emotions! Mostly, hopeful and positive...my parents came down, which was a HUGE stress reliever, and distraction, because we had an appointment with a fertility specialist on 1-28-13 Now, it's the evening of 1-28-13...so the news was not as we had hoped! Instead of one blocked Fallopian tube, they are both blocked! The fertility Dr. (who we loved) said I needed to do have a surgery called Laproscopy to see if there was anyway the Fallopian Tubes could be repaired. She said the chances of this are slim, and that our next step would be IVF.
I will (try) to keep everyone posted through the Blog....
I never in a million years thought I would be here in my life! I always had in the back of my mind that I would have a hard time since I was diabetic, but I never imagined it would be like this...but... I DO know God has a plan for us...and I can't wait to see what He has in store!
