Background

I thought it would be good to give a little background about me. I just turned 31. I have been married to Adam for 4 years and we have a beautiful son, Noah. He just turned 3. Adam and I started trying to have our 2nd child back in March 2007. After 10 months of trying I went to my OB to get some help. He started me on Clomid. I was on that for 3 months and nothing happened. I then had bloodtests and an ultrasound. Through the ultrasound, they thought I had PCOS. But, later I found that wasn't true. I had an HSG, where they flushed out my tubes. That was normal. Finally I opted for a laparoscopy to determine if I have endometriosis. I did and it was a mild to moderate case. The doc lasered it off and sent me to a fertility clinic to get more help. There we began to do IUI's w/clomid. We did 3 of those. After the 3rd one didn't work we have now decided to do IVF. Something we thought we would never do. But the want for a baby is making us do whatever we have to do.

Some say, you have a wonderful child you should be happy. That is true. I'm very happy that I have Noah but the want for a bigger family doesn't go away. They say secondary infertility can be harder than those who have 1st time infertility. I dont' know what is harder, I just know it is an emotional roller coaster that I'm trying to survive everyday. ..

Today's first post

I've started this blog today hoping not only to help myself get through this emotional time but to hopefully help others that are going through infertility. Through this blog I will share all of my feelings being open and honest about everything.
