My Story:
Well, my story as a mother began in August of 2005 when my husband and I discovered we were expecting. Two weeks later I experienced some cramping and bleeding and my doctor told me I was probably going to have a miscarriage, but at that point I was still pregnant. The next week and a half was the longest of my life...with blood test after blood test to watch my hormones to determine when I miscarried. I NEVER DID! Our son was born 9 days past my due date and is now a beautiful and healthy almost 4 year old.

It was quite easy getting pregnant the first time. BC finished in March, no charting or calendars and pregnant by August. So naturally, we thought that we'd be able to get pregnant again. Not necessarily as fast, but at least on our own. As our son's 2nd birthday approached, we talked about having another baby. I ended the use of BC and we figured for a while we'd let nature do it's thing. It's now 2 years later, a few missed periods...no pregnancies...doctors appointments, ultrasounds, MRI, diagnosis: ovarian cyst. I was panicked that I had ovarian cancer because it runs in the family. Surgery to remove the cyst...discovery of endometriosis...loss of left ovary and tube. At least it wasn't cancer right?

So now we await an appointment to discuss our options. My doctor wants me to begin a series of Lupron shots to help let my body rest and then we'll meet up with a fertility specialist. I'm freaking out about the Lupron shots. I have so many questions to ask...but don't know if I'm asking enough or the right questions!

So that's my story. I'm a mom of one amazing little guy. If that's all that's! meant for me I feel blessed for him. We'll see what's in store for our family
