Well, here we are...excited, anxious and nervous! We found out on Saturday that we are indeed pregnant. The 2 lines popped up right away at 5:30 am. I came out of the bathroom and woke Sans and said....WE DID IT! He popped up out of bed and was so excited and told me....."I told you, you could get pregnant again! We laid there wide awake for the rest of the morning talking about how excited we are. 

We were only going to try for 3 more months and then head off to Chicago for a procedure that 1 Dr. in the US does called IVM. So I was feeling such intense pressure to succeed as this would have been a huge expense for us. Although, you get to a point when you have been trying for so long that you will do anything.

One thing about me is that I have PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome). This has been the reason of  why we have been trying for 4 years. I also have a 50% miscarriage rate, so balancing my insulin and hormones is VERY important to have a successful pregnancy. Lots of women with PCOS have healthy happy pregnancies, but it is just something that  women with PCOS have to be aware of. Awareness about PCOS is huge because it affects a lot of women battling with infertility. The right medication (Metformin) and getting yourself at a healthy weight is huge in being successful at getting pregnant. If you know of anyone who is battling with infertility you may want to advise them to do some research on PCOS and see if they have the symptoms. If they do have the symptoms a blood test and ultrasound (of the ovaries)  is what is required for a diagnosis. I went to my Dr. and told her I wanted to be tested. She told me that she didn't think I had it, but will test me anyways. All of my results came back that YES you have PCOS. It was FINALLY an answer. So, women listen to yourselves and be proactive in your health. 

Now, of course I have peed on a stick a few more times to make sure that I am still pregnant....YEP, it is still real! This also could not have come at better timing because the loss I had in Aug was due next month. I have been getting all of these baby things mailed to me from various companies and it is a reminder that we would have had a baby very soon. So, I have been so sad and this is just what I needed! A new life to focus on. 

We will pray that this baby sticks and I know now what to do differently this time around. So, here's to 2 lines & prayers...stick  baby stick!!!
