What a Year it has been

I thought I would post since I have received so much from so many of you ladies I thought I would share where I am since it might help others---
DH and I spent all of 2003 TTC but weren't getting anywhere---
so I went back to my OB/GYN and she started some preliminary tests(bloodwork,sonogram, etc)
I have a very regular cycle--always have so as each month passed we really could'nt figure out what was going on---
so we knew the next step was for DH to get tested and he was willing to but I wasn't going to push him to make the call---

Well lo and behold- Christmas was approaching so I was really hoping for a great present but AF had her way--and I finally got to the point where I had enough--- I never understood when I have read other women say that---I mean seriously how could you give up ? but there I was telling DH that I couldn't take this every month any more--

Well he decided to call the dr and get tested --so on NYE we didnt get great news--ends up that DH might be part of the reason as to why we are not getting pregnant---

So now I have an appointment with an RE and no that there will be some challenges ahead of us but i do feel a bit better knowing that this might be the reason why it hasn't worked yet--

So for all those out there---trust your instincts-- I went to the dr early(ie it wasnt a full year) but for some reason i knew that something wasnt right and thankfully I really like my dr and she has been great the past few months!!!

So it looks like right now that we might not be able to conceive naturally but I am completely fine with that-- even fine with the possibilities of multiples--as my sister in laws says (she has twin girls from IUI) 2 is better than NONE!!! and I agree

So here's to a better 2004 and tons of baby dust to those that are trying!!! We will all get what want!!!! I firmly believe that God has a plan for me and that he will guide us thru the journey ahead of us

Thanks for listening--the past few days have been really tough and today is the first day that I have come to terms with the whole situation.
