All I want for Xmas....

Chantelle • Mother of 2. Finally had my princess after 8 years of trying. IVF baby.

Hello ladies! I was put on femara three months ago because I have pcos, and last month my doctor upped my dosage and was for sure I was going to get pregnant.*fingerscrossed*

I went home and jumped on my husband! I kept telling him the doctor said this is it. This should be our month. So of course waiting two weeks was hard but I waited. walking by those pregnancy tests and wondering if i should take one or not. Well, I was at work and started feeling cramps. I stopped in my tracks and thought, this b**** AF better not show up!

I went to the bathroom and wiped....aaannnnddd I was bleeding. So now I'm sitting there like wow. I was discouraged but I put my big girl panties on(literally) and went back to work. I told my husband my cycle started and was going to call my doctor and see what she suggests now. Mind you my cycle started on a Friday night so it meant I had to wait until Monday to call her office. The problem was I took the femara every third day of my cycle. I called and called and she was with patients so now I'm looking at my watch and it's 4:50p.m they close at 5 and still haven't heard anything....

So now I'm like wow this is some fuckn bullshit. At 4:55 she calls me and says my husband needs to do a semen analysis and that she is going to send me to a fertility specialist. I'm like omfg. She says I love you and I want you to have this baby. She said she didn't wanna go past the three months of femara especially after increasing my dosage.

Now my mind starts to think...how is my husband going to handle this? So I go home after leaving the library with our 9 yr old son....i wait until bed time to tell him. To my surprise he says ok and cuddles me. Then he asks what does this mean? I tell him and he doesn't day anything. We both always wanted a big family so will do whatever it takes.

The next morning I call the place and schedule us and they didn't have am available appointment at the location closest to us until December 29th. There was another location about an hour and change from us for December 5th so I took that one. I don't mind driving an hour and a half to get this shit over with. I don't know what to expect from all of this, I'm actually just going in with Faith. We are both very young, 27 and 28, I never thought I would be having to go see a fertility specialist. My doctor has suggested IUI....and I just hope and pray that will work for us. Idk what you ladies' experience has been but I wish you all the best of luck! I know you are either wonderful mommies or will make wonderful mommies. And let me just say when we do have our second baby...im throwing the biggest fuckn baby shower ever and you're allllll invited!!! lol.
