Nathaniel and I have always wanted a family and couldn't wait till it was our turn! But God had different timing plans than us! We started trying, well not really preventing July of 2009. We had lots of struggles on the way. I was diagnosed with Polycystic ovarian syndrome/disease in 2006. This is a very frustrating syndrome to have. It caused my body to change in so many not fun ways, ie: weight gain. Along with everything, we were told it could make it complicated to get pregnant and higher risk of miscarriage. But with all that, we had faith in God's plan for us. We started getting help from the doctors by taking clomid and then we had 2 AI's (artificial insemination). After our second AI, we finally had that second pink line on the test that we had long hoped for! But, at just 5 weeks along I started bleeding. We went in first thing the next morning to the doctor and sadly we had a miscarriage the following week. It was something that was painful both physically and emotionally. After the miscarriage, we decided to take a step back and just go with the flow for awhile. Well, we went with the flow until about Dec of 2011. My close friend Sam works for Parkhill, so we decided to changed doctors and see what they would say. We started seeing Dr. Emily Hinton and fell in love with her right away. She is so sweet, down to earth and personable! We started Clomid again along with AI. Our first round was unsuccessful and we were sure the second would be to. The second has quite the story of why but a probably a lil to personal to write about. Anyways, the second was successful and come tomorrow we will be 26 weeks pregnant!! Praise the Lord!! Though this pregnancy has not been easy and defiantly scary most of the way. I will post in the next few days about the pregnancy itself. Anyways, if you are struggling with becoming pregnant dont give up Faith! Here is a qoute that helped me along the way: 'Faith in God, includes Faith in his timing'!!
