Kind of Personal

This post is kinda personal but like Amber says.....remember it's a journal. So everyone knows that David and I want to have a baby. I am not exactly fertile Mertile. This morning I went in to see my OB. My physical exam was normal, besides the fact that I have not ovulated in over two months(not uncommon for me). So he suggested that I go on the fertility drug Clomid. He gave me a prescription to start my period and then the prescription for the fertility drug. He told me that on my own where I only ovulate on average three times a year, that it would take between two and five years to get pregnant on my own. I can't wait that long. My doctor said that on average women who take this drug are pregnant within four months....Oh I hope it works for me. The doctor also said that fertility drugs increase the rate of multiple births. Regularly the rate for twins is one in every one hundred births. On Clomid the rate for twins is one in every fifty and higher multiples the rate is one in five hundred. I can live with the higher risks of multiples if it means I can have a baby. Some of the side effects are tender breasts, mood swings(poor David), nausea, headaches, etc... I can also live with the side effects. I am hoping and praying that this medication works. I am so very blessed that I have a husband who is willing to go thru this with me. David is so amazing, and I more amazed with every new challenge and every new step we take in our live together. I am so grateful that he loves me so much and that he wants the best for us. I love David!!!! Sorry if that seems a little cheesy.

Good luck BV! I know how hard it is to want a baby and not be able to get pregnant! It is HARD and SAD and FRUSTRATING! So I hope it doesn't take too long for you guys. Just remember my little tip, try even if you have a migraine! (Just make him do all the work)

You'll have to let me know as soon as you find out! I'm so excited for both of you. I have never seen David more happy than he is now (the whole family would agree with me). Thank you! It would be really cool to have twins in the family :o) I know my mom will be very excited!
