Mommy Blogs - Blogging about conception, pregnancy, parenting and being a mom.

Back when i first met my husband i knew pretty quickly that he was “the one”.  The one i wanted to spend my life with, the one person in the world i would ever consider having a baby or two with.  When we decided back in 2007 that we would start trying for ababy, we didnt realise just how long it would take and the long road we would be on. At first we thought it would happen pretty quickly so we tried the Natural way.  That basically consisted of us having fun! When my first cycle ended with my period, i stayed hopeful, and moved onto the next cycle. I bought a bbt as i had heard alot of women used one, and set up an account with Fetility Friend where i input my temps each day, slowly i got the hang of temping. As soon as i got the hang of it i was obsessed to say the least, month after month i would analyze my chart, my CM, and the very negitive OPK’s i had taken. So i took a step back in the hope that maybe i was needlessly stressing myself. I took a break from  all the charting, but it didnt stop it being there in the back of my mind.

Coming upon the year mark of us first starting to ttc, my cycles went insane. They were coming fast and furious. Every 2 weeks i had my period. I held out in the hope that it would correct itself. In the end i caved and spoke to my doctor. She ran a bunch of tests and refered me onto a specialst.

 I am now seeing a specialist, who is running alot of testing on myself and my husband. Its been 21 months of ttc. And we hope that seeing this doctor will in the end bless us with a little miracle.

My husband has handed in a sperm sample and is due for another tomorrow. For more info on SA please check out these links

I have also had some testing done by my GP before we were refered onto a specialist which entailed a blood draw to check for hormonal imbalances. I will also have furthere tests taken after my period starts for ovulation testing. For more info on infertility testing please check these links

I hope to share as much of my experience with infertility and getting pregnant as possible with people who may end up going down the same road and to let them know they are not alone.

One way or another we will be parents!
