So here we are! Day 1!! Isn't it amazing how mother nature works?? Being a woman, we all hate when "that time of the month" roles around. Cramps, being pissy, tired, just feeling blah - not for me this month! In the past I would start my "time" and cry and cry. I was so sad that we couldn't get prego. Well - not this month!! My "time" came and I started crying because I was so happy!!! Having my cycle starts mean we get start our process for Baby Remkes! What a great way to start the new year!! Now that my "time" has started we start with some blood work and birth control. The blood work is to check my levels and make sure everything is ok and the birth control helps kick start my body into creating follicles(eggs). We will do birth control for a couple of weeks and then start the fertility meds (this when crazy Holly will come out and play!) So by March, we could be prego!!
It is just simply amazing to Chris & I that we are able to do this. We thought we were defeated. Thanks to medical studies and God helping these medical studies, we get to have a baby - with the help of a petrie dish!! HAHA!!
There are lots of questions everyone has and I don't know where to begin; so if you have one, leave a comment and I will answer it!
Thanks for all your prayers, love & support! We couldn't do it without you!
Good luck on your journey. I hope it happens fast and smoothly.

ReplyDeleteYay! Holly, I made some special prayers for you these past couple of days ...

ReplyDeleteI am so excited you are finally getting to start everything!!! Good luck!!! I am glad you are keeping this blog so we can be here with you!!! Love you!!!
ReplyDeleteoh Holly!! My heart aches for you. I too have PCOS...however, my journey to motherhood was far simpler than yours, we had our problems, but it got figured out without any major heartache and frustrations....right when the tunnel seemed to close and no more light was coming in, I got pregnant. I'm so glad you will document this for everyone to know what you really go through. and thanks for inviting me to read:) ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteHey my cute girl,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you and Chris have found some options that will work (hopefully speedily) for you!! I too have PCOS & struggled to get pregnant for almost 3 years with Sotera...I vowed never to go through that again, we hadn't been on birth control since having her & she was 3...so we went to the U & talked to the fertility specialist & it worked, I got prego again minus all the heartache.... I hope this goes well for you. Just hang in there & you'll soon be the best mommy!!! Thanks for letting me pry, it brings back so many memories!! My heart & prayers are going out to you & your adorable family!! I LOVE YA girly!!! P.S. who is your doc?? Mine was Dr. Gertcheff at the Uof U...The best fertility doctors around! You've picked a good clinic!!
