Since we were married:
1,760 days of trying, thinking about trying, thinking about treatment, figuring out how to pull money together, crying out of frustration, crying from despair and crying for no reason
I lost my job
Dan lost his job
Built up close to 35k of debt
Crossed the pond for treatment in Europe
4 three hour trips to Augusta for treatment
Countless ultrasounds, surgeries, poking, prodding and blood drawn so many times I look like a heroin addict
Acupuncture
Chiropractic visits
Diet plans
Eliminating toxins
Going gluten free
Juicing fasts
Psychic visits
Hypnotherapy
Spiritual cleansing
Holding it all in to be happy for friends' pregnancies
Puking out of cars
Yelling at apathetic doctors
Nearly suffering a stroke
Popping painkillers, vitamins, herbs, minerals and fertility shakes
Hours of research spent on the internet
Support groups
Buying meds on the black market
Friends and family donating money
Friends and family giving us unconditional love
Two dogs to save our sanity and make us feel like parents
Thousands of pep talks
Countless holidays that remind us we are childless
But finally.....we are pregnant!!!!!!!! It's still very early though so I'm terrified. I have another blood test on Sunday to see if my hcg levels are rising. If they are, they will do an ultrasound in two weeks. Please keep praying - we are so thrilled but we've been through so much and fear and worry are all we know! Thank you all for all the love, support and prayer! We hope this journey is finally turning around!!!!
