UPDATE:
Yes, i'm finally back, and happy to be! it's been a long 5 months since i've been gone. Last time i was on here, we had been trying for baby #2 for 9 months, and had finally gotten pregnant in October, and lost it on October 31st. That was the last y'all heard. After that i was kind'a down for a while, and didn't really feel i had much to report, so i didnt' log on very often. Well, we've still been trying the last 5 months (still naturally) and still no luck. I saw my doc the other week and i'm going in on day 21 (Tues, 18th) for a progesterone test to see if my levels are where they should be, and then we've scheduled to have my husband tested (sperm analysis) and make sure there's nothing wrong on that end, so we dont' waste more time if there's an underlying issue. My doc says if my prog. level is low, he'll put me on prog supplements to help increase that. If it's my hubby, it's onto IUI.
Kind'a scary, thinkin' about taking that next step if that's the case, but after 14 months, we're ready to take some action. It's at some point you realize, okay, this isnt' working--we need to do SOMETHING! So please pray this month is it for us, OR if anything, it's ME with the progesterone issue. Much easier to treat at this point than going through IUI, AND much less expensive!!!
But i'm staying positive, and we've really been trying this month, and i'm hoping to get a positive OPK today, as i've been testing for the last week, and i'm now on day 16. So i will stay on top of fertility ties and let you girls now how things are going. Thanks for welcoming me back!!!
