My name is Allison and I am 29 years old. My husband Tim and I have been married 8 1/2 years. We started trying to expand our family 4 years ago. I was like every other girl who was 25 and thought I would be able to get pregnant right away. For the first few months I was nearly giddy anytime I was late or had the slightest hint of nausea. Eventually the "newness" of trying begin to wear off and concern began to set in. At this time in our lives we were starting a new chapter. My husband was going back to school and we were moving to a new town. We let the time pass for a couple of years without really looking into what was causing our fertility problems. It was after two years of trying at a regular OBGYN checkup that my doctor gave me what I did not realize at the time was devastating news..... I have PCOS. She told me this in a pretty nonchalant way. When I got home and began to google search (probably the worst thing I could have done) I began to panic! Needless to say I have learned a lot about this disease over the years. It has been both the bane of my existence and oddly enough a blessing. To catch you up to now... we are still seeing a regular OB. We have done three unsuccessful rounds of Clomid. We have been on a much needed break for the last couple of months. On Monday we are scheduled to see the doctor to discuss the next steps. I am ready to get back into the swing of things and know that God has a plan for what lies ahead. My plan is to use this blog as a way to chronicle our journey. I want to be able to look back at what we have been through and see the blessings at each step!
