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.

Side Effects

My clomid is kicking my butt this time around. Forget the hotflashes...this headache can leave at any moment. I already have cramps. Already, near my ovaries. AND the moodiness on top of all of this. Plus, tonight I get to up my metformin to 1,500mg. So my grumbly tummy will probably make another appearance. It had just disappeared too =(

Yet, it will be worth it if we get a healthy baby out of it all. And I am hopeful once again. OPKs and HPT are supposed to arrive today. Along with the book I ordered and our sperm friendly lube. Which by the way I am excited to try. This weekend I begin no allergy meds, mucinex, extra vitamin C, the every other day "appointment" and the use of instead cups to give his swimmers an extra leg up. I may even look up other helpers for cm. I am alreadyy on flax seed oil.

Have I mentioned how thankful I am for my husband lately? He is the one that got us taking vitamins, and he takes alll of his every day. We are like old people and both have vitamin pill boxes lmbo. He take an omega 3-6-9 and a fish oil pill, a multi vitamin, a super b complex, vitamin C, and vitamin D. He is superman to me =) Sweets are just his Kryptonite. They are for both of us.  And we both are starting to get hopeful about changing that. Within next few months we anticipate healthier eatting, gym memberships, and smaller waists.

Ok, hopefully smaller for him and a gradually growing baby bump for me. =D If not, I would like to lose at least 15 lbs before January. Maybe 20 before Nursing starts. To be under 200lbs would be WONDERFUL.

Thankful Thought: I am thankful for good sisters. Tonight two of them are coming over for game night. And I hear they are going to help me pick up a little bit =D.

Intentional Living: Drinking more water. Not swearing is going well.

Reading? I didn't do so well today. A few small verses from Daily Bible app, and from my verse of the day email. I will read some Isaiah before I close my eyes for some shut eye.
