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.

All writing in this blog is unedited and 100% from what I am feeling at the time. By continuing to read it means that you will take my vents with a grain of salt. You will choose to not take offense. 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.

Another Visit to the Doctor

Well today I had another blood pressure check. It was outrageous. It doesn't help that I am on the fence of being a normal sized cuff or a large cuff...anyways, I got my Lebetalol doubled...again. So hopefully this helps.

I also am getting put on Metformin (or Glucophage). With the goal of going up to 1500 mg a day if my body can take it. The biggest side effect? Diarrhea. Joy! lol

So I am hopeful and waiting to ovulate still. Both of the above medicine changes should help me out in the long run. Now to decide when I am going to do the glucose test (ugh).

But for now, sleeep! I have had 3.5 hours so far today. Definitely in need of more!

Oh and I bought the instead cups to insert after we "try" next time. Kind of like a ghetto artificial insemination....keep the swimmers closer to the welcome mat! ;-)

  1. Good luck with the instead cups. I remember trying them years ago when they first came out (I think). I found them to be very uncomfortable, but if its just for a few hours, or through the night it probably wouldn't be bad.

    How's the hub's pneumonia?
