baby Baugh's room

We did not work as long today as I usually do, but we completed a butterfly (almost), a ladybug, and not pictured: a bee, a spider, a dragon fly and 2 caterpillars.

Infertility

I was talking with a friend today about her current pregnancy and she mentioned the drugs they had tried in the past for infertility. They were minor drugs for the arsenal I have taken and am about to start up again.

Hubby and I have struggled in our desire to have children for 6 years. I have always felt that being a parent was my calling, and to have tried for so long with no success cuts deep, but not as deep as the one time I did get pregnant only to have a miscarriage. So I have been thinking about this a lot for two reasons.

One, I pissed someone off recently, and their response was to tell me that they hoped I was happy being married and childless.

Two, we are approaching a new attempt. I am going to be a guinea pig. A new drug combination, including injectables and oral drugs. When I called the doctor recently, they informed me that by starting up right now means that if I make too many eggs we had discussed IVF, and that office is closed for the month of December. I am still going so that most of my internal sonograms - to check for ova size and development - will fall during Winter Break.

For those of you who are capable of being pregnant at any point, congratulations, and be aware of how fortunate you are. And for those of you who want to use this as a button to push, please keep the gloves up.
