Me in a Nutshell

First off I would like to say that I am not a great writer.  Second, I am technologically challenged so I apologize if this blog is not laid out well. 

Now, if you are still with me, I promise to make this worth your time.  If you are anything like me you have searched everywhere for some peace of mind and some help to get through what you are going through.  My help comes from the Lord.  There is no help quite like His help.  I will use many Bible references but I am not by any means a Bible scholar. 

Okay, my life...
I am currently a special education teacher.  I am on my 6th year of teaching and I still truly love my job.  Don't get me wrong...there are times I am stressed to the max and wonder if I can keep going, but I do.  I love my students so much!  I can't imagine waking up and going to work somewhere else.  My students are a HUGE part of my life.

My husband is a construction worker.  He works long hours and often 6 day work weeks.  I don't know how he does it... but he does and I am so thankful for that!

My husband and I have been married for three years and we dated for five.  We got married on our five year anniversary which happened to be on a Thursday...it was weird but it was the PERFECT wedding... if you ask me. :)

Now to the infertility...
My husband and I decided last March that we would start trying for a baby.  We were hoping to find a home in the near future and figured it would take a while for me to get back to normal after coming off the pill.  Those first two months of coming off the pill were brutal.  I was having no signs of a period and was experiencing some mild pregnancy symptoms.  I kept telling myself that maybe this week would be a positive pregnancy test.  But each week was a negative and each week was another week without any signs of a period.  At about three months with no period I started to worry something was really wrong.  I was googling like crazy which is NEVER a good idea.  I finally decided to talk to my OBGYN.  I set up an appointment and had blood tests, sonograms, the whole shebang.  They told me that nothing looked super abnormal and that they were not worried that this was anything too serious.  They did say that the lining of my uterus was really thin and one of my hormones was at really low levels (I don't remember which one but it was what is most likely affecting my uterine lining).   They decided to put me on progesterone and some other pills/patches to force me to have a period and force me to ovulate.  I did not ovulate, at least that they detected, but I did have a period.  From what I have googled this was a good thing.  They were hoping to help my body "jump start" my cycle.  But, after weeks of waiting for my period to start up on it's own, it did not.  I went through around 4 (i have lost count) rounds of this and nothing.  I would have the withdraw period because of the progesterone pills but my body never started doing it on it's own.   Right now I am on day 58 of my "cycle" and there is no end in sight.  After my last appointment my OBGYN decided to refer me to a fertility specialist in Dallas.  I have an appointment scheduled in March.  At this point I just want answers...good or bad.
