And so it begins.....again

*A few posts ago I mentioned that there was "talk" of expanding our family, but....well... it was more than talk. After some more thought I decided to blog about our fertility issues for those of you that are willing to pray for us.*

Today marks Day One of our possibly long journey to get pregnant again. We've been trying for months, with no luck. It's been a little disappointing, but no where near what I was feeling when we were trying with Tennyson. The fact, that we have our dear, sweet, little boy makes this second "attempt" so much easier. Who has time to be stressed or depressed while chasing him around?!?!

So here's the monthly routine: I take medroxyprogesterone for 10 days, on day 21 I go to my doctor's office to get blood drawn, if/when I get my period I take clomiphene (clomid) from days 5-9. If I don't get my period by day 32 and the test is negative we have to reevaluate the dosages and begin again the next month. This is what we did before to get pregnant, and let me tell you, it was a loooonnnggg six months.

I realize that probably 90% of my friends have no idea what it's like have trouble getting pregnant, and for that they should be thankful. For those of you that can relate to fertility issues, I hope you find comfort in knowing you have options and you are not alone.

Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to pray for Tom and I as we begin this challenging journey once again. What a longed for and cherished baby he or she will be.
