My husband and I made the decision to begin growing our family in May of 2021. Although we made the decision, it didn’t quite go our way. I recall speaking with my OB/GYN physician that month and how excited she was for us to begin the journey. Fast forward a year later, I was back in the office asking to test further so we can see why we had not conceived yet. It was then that I was diagnosed with PCOS, an infertility condition. While getting a vaginal ultrasound, I was told I had plenty of follicles. I thought that was great news, and it was…there was just more to the story. Unfortunately, my eggs do not mature so I would need assistance to help. After that ultrasound, the next steps were labs, and a outpatient procedure to show whether my fallopian tubes were open or not. They were! Another positive step in the right direction. Fast forward to current day. I have been on Letrozole for 6 months now and despite that number being significant as a possible statistic while researching how long it might take to conceive on the meds, we’re still here. We are here with our hope and bruised egos, trying to do the best we can to not get exhausted. I’ll dig a little deeper on that later but for now, welcome to the first of many. For me, the blog is a way to get out the things I may leave unsaid. I always felt that I was stronger at writing than speaking. So thank you for joining me on this journey.
