Plan of Action

I am so relieved that the Fertility Dr didn't think I was crazy! He says 8 day LP is a LP defect but first before he gets to that he needs to fix the underlining issues. He said he needs to figure out why I've had retained placenta twice and what's causing it and what damage that my three D&C's have caused. I have to have testing for a blood clotting disorder which could be why I'm having retained placenta. He also needs to do a Hysteroscopy see if there is any scaring. Then I have to have a Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to see if my tubes are blocked from scaring. All the while I will be going in for blood work and then after I get a positive ovulation test and blood work confirms ovulation I will get a trigger shot of HCG (which Miah will be injecting into me on three separate days (I didn't tell him that yet). I'm happy we've got a plan of action and hope that we get a BFP soon!

It's been 4 years already!

Miah and I were married 4 years ago today it's been the most amazing adventure. I have the greatest husband he is loving, kind, Honest, spiritual, patient, thoughtful, strong and I love you so Much Miah! I am so looking forward to an Eternity with you by my side!

LOL!

I love this photo I took it at 12:30 today which is way early for the boys to fall asleep. I guess I can understand them being tired we've had a busy morning. Miah and Garrett walked the dogs they walked about a mile then we went shopping and they played in the back yard while I tried to get dinner ready to just pop into the oven tonight since I won't be home. I guess they were just real tired.

Lady Bug.

Today Garrett found a lady bug he and Graham were so excited they watched that bug for a half an hour. Don't mind the mess we haven't spent much time cleaning since winter we need to pull weeds and add more rocks and plants but come the end of May our yard will finally be finished!! Miah is also going to build the boys a really neat boat sandbox while I'm in AZ. I'm going to sew the sail with the help of my Grandpa while I'm there. Miah is also going to build us a nice picnic table for play dates so we have a place to eat outside. We also planted an apple tree in remembrance of our Angel baby Apple trees are suppose to be a symbol of love. I'm going to have a plaque made to put next to the tree. We would have done it back in December but the weather wasn't ideal and waiting until July 15th when I was due is just too late in the summer. Anyway I'm so excited spring is here!!!

Going to a Fertility Specialist

It's now been a year since I had my IUD removed and I still haven't been pregnant with a viable pregnancy. I've been having symptoms of a Luteal Phase Defect for 11 months now and I'm sick of people telling me everything is fine becuase well it's not!! I know something is wrong with my body. My cycles are 23 days long with a Luteal phase of 8 days according to my OB anything under 12 days isn't good and anything under 10 days is really not good. I started taking Vitex & Maca Root last year the month before I got pregnant which helps increase progesterone levels naturally and It did help I got pregnant that month but obviously it's more than just my progesterone levels being low it's poor follicular quality too so most likely I will be going on Clomid to help stimulate FSH and progesterone supplements the last half of my Cycle. I am so thankful it was so easy for me to get pregnant with my two boys they are such a joy and they truly make life so much more enjoyable. We're ready to expand our family it's still incomplete and I'm so excited that a wonderful Fertility Specialist is going to help us on our journey TTC #3 our Appointment is in 3 weeks I will keep everyone posted. I'm not shy talking about this stuff on line it's part of life! LOL
