Little Bit About Me

My photo
First and foremost, I am a Christian woman: I love Jesus! In this blog you will find stories of trying to conceive with PCOS, MTHFR, Poor egg quality, a unicornuate uteterus, and too many babies in heaven. It is a good thing God is the ultimate healer! Here you will find praise! and you may also find venting (I'm not perfect...) and you will find other stories of my crazy life. All the while through this journey I am holding on to scripture & hoping to one day be a mother here on Earth (waiting on God & His perfect timing...why am I so impatient?) But in the meantime, here you will find me: Jessica, loving wife, hopeful heart of a mother, and faithful friend.

And most of all, if you know me in real life you will either choose to stop reading or keep the knowledge of this blog quiet, and privately allow me to know you are reading. I only share this information with close friends. I do not share this with facebook for a purpose: it is meant to be semi-private. Not "public" knowledge in the sense of the majority of those in real life knowing about it. If you can accept all that has been stated, sit back, grab a box of tissues, and be prepared to endure the rocky road of trying to conceive while trying to get out of the shadows of infertility.

Last Day of Hot Flashes!

Today is my last dose of Clomid. I am quite excited to see what this cycle will bring.

Yesterday James's aunt educated me on the fact that there are 6 set of twins on James's side. A mix of fraternal and identical. Fraternal twins are passed on through women due to hyperovulating ovaries. Men can carry the gene onto their daughters. This is why it sometimes skips a generation. Identical twins are another story. Most believe it is just chance that causes the egg to split extra making another baby. But, one article I read said that some scientists believe there could be an enzyme in the sperm that would direct the fertilized egg to cleave into two separate beings. If this is the case, we have a higher set of twins...if not then my chances of twins is the same for any other Clomid woman.

Either way, however many, I will be content if they are healthy when God chooses to bless me. And James feels the same way!

On a different note...today my sleepy head is headed, with no sleep after work to a tractor pull. Currently thinking I am one crazy chica!

    I had a nice long comment written out, but this darn slow hotel wi-fi lost connection!!! Anyways, just between me and you, here on your blog...We don't really know what is going on and we won't be home from vacation for 2 more weeks. I wish we could rush home right to my OB's office, but we promised RaeAnn a fun family vacation, I've been writing and I will publish everything we get home.
    p.s. I am glad clomid is almost over for you!! Good Luck this month!!!
