Baby Steps for Baby

I’ve had one unsuccessful intrauterine insemination (IUI) and moving forward to try again. I was in NYC when I found out I wasn’t pregnant so I had to wait to come back home to get a hold of next rounds of medication. It’s good I waited because I got my period naturally. Hooray! I feel like a kid who just found out I got an A on my science project. I can skip the Provera pills to give me a period, but will start Clomid tomorrow.

People have been asking and wondering as it has been two years since we’ve been married. We freely tell people we’re trying. I read an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal about parents footing the bill for middle-aged, unmarried daughters burdened by the cost of fertility treatment. If they could put their money somewhere, might as well be on a living legacy. Gotta agree with that.

Dean and I have been praying especially hard, including offering up special prayers at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC. Doing all we can.

    I know how you feel. You can contact me for my story. After MANY years, we conceived our lovely Lyra Jade. It wasn’t until a year after my Mom died – 6 years after we’d been married – that I started investigating into what might be “wrong”. We tried a lot and I learned a lot. In the end, you will be holding your beautiful baby in your arms and NOW will be but a blur. I promise. Love to you Cathy. Terri
