Our Story...

My husband & I have been married for 8 years & have been trying to conceive for the last 7.5. I have PCOS and hubby has an ok count but it's not great. We've had several tests, procedures and consultations that have led us down the road to one heartbreak after another. Right now we are currently awaiting the birth of our baby girl due to the miracle that is adoption. We couldn't be more excited!!!

Jumping The Gun

Well I've done it again... I am jumping the gun. I get an idea in my head and suddenly get so excited that I can barely stand it. Then I remind myself that I am INSANE. :)

Seriously though, Hubby had a Dr appt last week and since we've been dating/married he's been to the Dr... umm never. He went to the hospital last year on New Year's Day for an emergency appendectomy & he's willingly dropped his 'samples' off at the lab for testing but other than that he's never had an appt to just get things checked out. Well boy did they find a host of things wrong with him!

But this story is about the fact that they found through blood testing that his Thyroid isn't working, at all really apparently. So of course I naturally turned to Dr. Google to check out the symptoms that would accompany this and why we hadn't noticed them. Turns out he has almost every single symptom that I could find listed, but we'd just been chalking them up to different things. In the grand scheme of things it honestly makes so much more sense. I sort of picture Homer Simpson saying "Doh!".

Turns out that one of the symptoms of this thyroid trouble is... you guessed it folks INFERTILITY. I suddenly get super excited thinking that they will fix him and then we'll get pregnant... yeah right, in my dream world. I mean he couldn't have possibly had this condition for 7 YEARS without knowing.. could he? I mean I will still have PCOS but I feel like this is just going to help to have his swimmers in tip/top condition to help make up for the fact that my body is whack.

I mean I would be OVER THE MOON excited if that actually happened but on the other hand (because there is always an other hand) I would be pissed that we've gone through 7 years of hell and every other test imaginable and it was literally something that could have been fixed in an instant. Dramatic I know.. oh well it's my blog!

But for real.. I'm just hoping and praying that they will get the hubs some meds and then we'll finally be able to make a baby without having to spend a trillion dollars. That would be fantastic. Please pray for us!!
