Needing Some Affirmation

Meliza

Hi Ladies,

6 years ago, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. The doctor said it'd be difficult to conceive, but not impossible. I never imagined that I would ever have any difficulty conceiving. I had always dreamed of being a mother. How could this happen?

A year later, I met my husband and he also was excited to be a father one day. I told him that there could be issues with concieving but he always believed we would be able to. 4 months before we were going to get married, I became pregnant! It obviously was not an ideal time but we were excited to be parents.

Flashforward to now, our son Zachary is the best blessing we have been given. He's such a mild mannered, loving, beautiful baby boy. We couldn't wait to try for another. During January, the doctor found another cyst growing on one of my ovaries due to endometriosis. It had to be removed. I thought it might be a good thing... the doctor would be able to "clear me out" and we'd be

able to start trying with a clean slate. The

doctor ended up removing my left ovary, but leaving my right. She even tested the right to make sure the tube was clear. Everything was a go. In February, we tried. In March, we tried. Then in April, my period did not come. I was feeling hopeful. 6 days late, it came. We tried every day of ovulation week in April, and again I was feeling hopeful, but I literally just got my period had had to write to all of you and ask for some affirmation.
