I'm back

It has been a long few months so I have posted.  First off we didn't have a computer for awhile but that has changed since receiving a new macbook pro for Christmas!  Here is what has been happening in our life.

I met a wonderful new friend through Mary Kay and her name is Emily.  She introduced me to my new obgyn and I am so thankful for her.  My new doctor is amazing and I couldn't be happier.

Over the summer i started having testing done to find out what the deal with my body is.  I had lots of blood work done to check hormone levels, thyroid, sugar etc. Everything, of course came back normal.  My regular doctor sent me to have an ultrasound done just to check things out.  They found I had a cyst on my right ovary and told me to visit my OBGYN.

I finally was able to meet my new doctor...Dr Kelly Hamel...love her!!!  She wanted to do an ultrasound in 4 weeks to check the size of the cyst but didn't seem concerned.  In the mean time she sent my husband to have his count checked.

Flash forward to my followup ultrasound...she told me the cyst was smaller and that everything looked perfect.  Husband's count were a little low but not horrible and she said if he did another test those results could come back normal.  with all of that being said she decided to put us on Clomid.

She gave me 3 rounds of clomid.  If they don't work she will look at bumping me up to the next level of Clomid.  We are currently on round 2 of Clomid.

The side effects of clomid are supposedly pretty brutal, but I have been lucky...or not...and haven't dealt with too many.  On the first round I had dizzy spells throughout the month that only lasted a few seconds.  I also felt tired and had dry mouth.  A few intense headaches, I normally never have headaches, and ovulation pain.  This month I haven't had any of the dizzy spells but have had some hot flashes, and frequent intense headaches.   We are very hopeful that clomid will help us have our take home baby.

On another note my sister in law had a miscarriage about 6 weeks ago.  They found out it was a girl and she had a genetic disorder that would have made her sterile and no neck...I can't remember what it is called.  They decided to name her Annalise.  My mother in law has been asking us to name our baby and since my sister in law did Matt and I decided to name our baby.  We don't know if our baby was a boy or a girl but I knew in my heart she was a girl.  We have named our angel baby Zoey.  Zoey was a top name of ours but because of the meaning we thought it was fitting to name our angel Zoey which means life.

Well this was the short version of the past few months and now that I have a new computer my intention is to keep up with the blog more often.
