i used to blog all of the time but haven't done it in about two or so years. a friend of mine suggested journaling or writing down the crazy process rey and i are going through and i figured it would be a good idea. if anything it can be a great way to get my feelings out there. i'll probably beautify this thing up at some point, but maybe not. we shall see!
anywhooo! this whole infertility thing has thrown me for a loop. back when rey was in the marine corps and it took us a long time to get pregnant with seeley i truly did feel as though something was wrong but since after many months of trying we did end up pregnant and i didn't think much of it. if anything, having seeley made me much more positive and i actually thought we would be able to get pregnant quicker the second time around. boy was i wrong!
month after month i'd end up with negative pregnancy tests which finally led me to believe that something most be wrong. it was then that i started to look into things and decided to amp things up. i followed my cycle closely, i temped every morning and made charts, and i took ovulation tests. i did everything right and from everything i was seeing everything seemed fine. finally after a year of trying with no success i decided to head to my obgyn. he too thought there must be a problem but he didn't take a very proactive approach. in fact, it was just take these pills.. get a blood test.. and then when everything came out normal he'd just say well it seems like something is wrong but let's try it again next month.
i was beyond frustrated at this point and luckily a guy at my husband's work told rey about how fidelity, the company he works for pays for invitro. it was then that we made an appointment to meet with a specialist, which was a few months out, but at least we felt like we were getting somewhere. when we finally met with our dr it was amazing. she made a plan that included lots of ultrasounds and tests but at least within that month we were supposed to find out what was wrong. she even had rey go in, which the obgyn said not to worry about since if we already had a kid it was likely not rey. well, after my many tests we found out that nothing was wrong, in fact, i was more than good and had a very healthy supply of eggs among other things. rey on the other hand we discovered didn't have good sperm, in fact they told us that having seeley was a pretty big thing in itself.
