So I'm jumping back on the IF rollercoaster. I saw my RE today and we have a new game plan. IUI with injectibles. Woohoo. I will see her for my baseline sono and she will give me the meds and tell me what to do. They don't do an injections class, they just teach you personaly. But I give SQ shots all the time, so it's no big deal.

We talked about a lot of stuff she wants to try. She said it won't hurt so might as well do all we can. I am gonna do the metformin:( it kills me, but I will be more than happy to endure. Also, gonna do baby aspirin and progesterone after ovulation. May even do some heparin.

So there is the game plan. Now we just wait for AF to show. I got a script for provera just in case. I am so freakin excited to be TTC again. I have so much hope right now, and I just pray that this will work and I will have a baby very soon.

I'll keep you posted!!

Today almost came and went without me realizing what day it really was. It was three years ago today that Josh and I started this journey to have a baby. I remember waking up in the morning and realizing that af had arrived. I ran to my computer to figure out how long my cycle was and when I could expect ovulation and for af to arrive again. We were planning to start ttc in january. But by my calculations I would be ovulating in late December, which we decided was close enough to january.

I laugh at how niave I was then. I had no idea that my cycles were really off. I had never paid much attention to their length or felt the need to calculate how long they were. It is only by the grace of God that af arrived that day and that I did in fact ovulate in late december and ended up pregnant.

These last few years have been... something, i don't know if there really is a word that can describe them. They have been the worst years of my life in so many ways. But they have also had good parts. I am so thankful for those 4 precious babies. I treasure every moment that I spent with each of them. I am thankful for the friends that I have made in the midst of my tragedy and suffering. I am thankful for all that I have learned about myself, emotionally and physically. For knowing that I am strong enough to make it through.

I wish I could somehow change things. That I could have spent these last three years watching my child grow up instead of experiencing so much pain and sorrow. That I could continue to be naive about ttc and pregnancy and pregnancy loss, and all the stuff that goes along with it. But I cannot change those things. I have experienced so much in the last three years. Those experiences have molded me into the person that I am today.

I do pray that on this day next year I will be pregnant or holding my baby in my arms. I think 3 years is long enough!!!! I am looking forward to 2008 and all the blessings it will bring.
