Beginning of my Journey
July 09, 2008
Well, when we got married 2 years ago, we decided to wait a while to have children. With him being in residency and me trying to climb the corporate ladder, I thought that would be a great idea...
We spent as much time as we could on our days off and taking vacation whenever possible. Our lives were good...
Then in the fall of 2007, things started to tumble for us. I was diagnosed with RA. At first, I didn't really understand what that entailed. After extensive research and lab work things started to look even more grim. I was regressing pretty quick and my rheumatologist asked about our plans for children. Because of the medications for RA is detrimental to the baby, he needed to know what our plans were. I will be honest, I had no idea what to tell him.
That night, I went home and talk to the hubby about what we wanted to do. We talked about all the complications RA can bring to the pregnancy - from higher risk for birth defects to higher risk for miscarriages. We were very scared but we knew we wanted to have kids in the future.
On top of the RA, I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 17 and we knew we were going to have issues conceiving. So with all the info about RA and PCOS, we decided to go see a RE.
That is where our Baby making journey begins...
CD1 began 6/28/08
CD4-CD8 took 50mg CLOMID
CD10 LH Surge and IUI procedure
I am currently on D12 counting down to CD24 so I can take HPT to see if I am pregnant.
I really hope that sperm found the egg because there are a lot of people waiting to hear the news!
Keep your fingers and toes crossed for us! We are going to need it!

So now I am at CD 18 and 8 dpiui...Time is moving so slow right now. So here are some symptoms I am having...cramps (since the day of IUI), exhaustion, sleepiness, nausea, watery CF (clear),palpitation below my belly button. So do you ladies think it is too early to be feeling these symptoms? Do you think it may be prog symptoms? I am also feeling butterflies in my tummy as if I am nervous...what is that all about?what do you ladies think?
