Dan and I have finally had enough conversations, discussions, crying fits and have agreed that it is now the right time to start trying for our family. I have spent many years waiting for "the right moment" and am glad to say it's now!
I'm toying with the idea of keeping a blog/journal of our journey towards parenthood. Sadly, I know all too well that many couples struggle to reach their dream. I can only hope and pray that my road will not be so rocky. I know many women who deal with infertility, either primary or secondary, and have had their days, weeks, months and some many years, consumed with temping, charting, injections, ultrasounds, doctors appointments, tears, anger ... Well, I don't need to continue with that list, you should get the jist by now. Some have had their dreams come true, some are still waiting and others are moving on. It's a cruel world for us non-parentals.
Officially, I have not been diagnosed with infertility. I, however, have been diagnosed with secondary amenorrhea, which basically means I had regular cycles but now have cycles that can last six months or longer. This came back in 1997 and naive, little me didn't really care because hey! I don't have to worry about that crap. Well, I wish I would have really tried to worry. There was one doc who didn't really care and gave me meds to get my cycle back in gear but well, unless both partners are on board, it doesn't really matter.
Until my twenties, I never had a problem with weight but now, I have more than just a little problem (as you know from reading my blog) and that was going to be another nail in the baby coffin. Fortunately, I've been controlling my diabetes to the point where it may even "go away". We'll find out in a couple months. I'm also fortunate to have two great doctors taking care of me - one as my primary care doc, the other as my lady parts doc.
So basically, my Christmas wish has finally come true! Well one of them at least ;) I am looking forward to the New Year and I'm feeling positive 2012 will be great.

Don't forget to have fun while trying. Too much stressing about it won't help one bit. Good luck!
