Hope and doubt

I tried to be silent in hopes I would have good news to report this month, but I don't. I went in two weeks ago to have a baseline scan after my BFN last month. The ultrasound showed another blood cysts, that's two in the last couple months, and my Dr. mentioned possibly having to move me up to stage 2 or 3 endometriosis. I was stunned, I just had the scar tissue scraped last year how could it have possibly progressed? I mentioned to our Dr. that we may need to hold off this month on an IUI because we were still catching up financially from my car breaking down and my dog being hospitalized. "It's on the house, were moving forward" was her response. I cried. My doctor is amazing, I can't believe she would do that for us! She put me back on 100 & 150 mg of clomid alternating days and we scheduled an appointment for the next week to check the results...

Tuesday, July 7, I go in for an ultrasound to check how many follicles I had and how big they were. Last month I ended up with 4 follicles. As I lay there looking at the screen, I see nothing. I had one follicle measuring 21 cm. She looked at me and told me that I had now grown a resistance to clomid. I have grown resistant to letrozole and now clomid. She informed me with my endo and PCOS one follicle was not enough for her to do an IUI and we should trigger and try naturally. There is always hope but I must say this was a devastating blow. If this one follicle doesn't produce a pregnancy, I do not know what our next step is. 

It's heartbreaking to know what may stop us from having a child is money. We have always said we would do whatever it took to have a baby, but when it comes right down to it, I'm not sure where that money is going to come from. Our insurance covers nothing infertility related. I'm trying to stay positive because getting down isn't going to help anything. On a side note, I posted the song " I would die for that" along with "You never now what storm God has asked a person to walk through. Kindness goes a long way for someone who on the outside seems ok, but is broken on the inside." 10 poeple liked it and 6 people commented on it, when I temporarily died my hair pink 52 people liked it and 12 people commented on it...I guess real life is too real for some people. 

Leaving on a much needed vacation next Saturday!

Vacation

We are going to Hilton Head, SC this month on vacation; I am thinking I will take a couple weeks hiatus from blogging. I can't wrap my head around everything right now, and I'm trying to focus on having hope and faith. I will be back in touch soon.

with love
