Up to date

I want to start off today by saying thank you to everyone that has sent us words of encouragement since yesterday.  When I decided to share our story I was nervous because I didn't want sympathy from everyone but rather a strong support system and prayer group to help us through this.
I started my first round of Clomid in November.  Our three months of trying Clomid and tracking my ovulation turned into 5 months.  One of the effects that PCOS has on your body is irregular periods.  Even with me taking Clomid my body would not have a period on its own.  This lead to me having false hopes of being pregnant and then finding out I wasn't.  I then had to go back to taking a medicine that would force my body to have a period again.  I went back to meet with Dr. Isaacs on March 20.  We discussed how my periods were still irregular and I had not even compled the third round of trying.  She decided that since I was just weeks away from ovulation again we would go straight to trying an IUI.
On April 2 we tried our first IUI with Dr. Isaacs.  It was nerve racking but felt like a big step.  The next two weeks felt like they drug on waiting to see if it worked.  Unfortunately it didn't work.  What was surprising though was the fact that I actually had a period, on my own, without medicine!  Dr. Isaacs said we would try one more IUI with Clomid before sending us on.  On May 2 we went in for our second IUI with Dr. Isaacs.  Two weeks later we were disappointed and discouraged again.  My heart was broken and I couldn't hold back the tears.  I know that God has this all in his control but its so hard to really see that when you're in the middle of it.  It was time to call Dr. Isaacs office and let them know that the IUI didn't work.  She recommended us to a specialist in Carmel.
On June 10 Jordan and I met with Dr. Will at Midwest Fertility Specialist.  Nervous and anxious we sat in the room waiting for him to come in.  We loved our meeting with Dr. Will and think we will get along great with him.  We discussed everything we had been through and what tests had been done.  His recommendation was to try Letrozole to start my ovulation, checking my follicles at the time I should ovulate, and doing an IUI.  It's hard for me to say yes to another IUI when we have already had 2 failed ones.  I have to remind myself that this one is a little different.  The ones before I was tracking my own ovulation with at home kits, where this one they will actually check and make sure I am even going to ovulate correctly.  I can say that I am hopeful that being with a specialist will help in the process.  It doesn't make the process easier or the questions of "When are you having kids" any less painful.  Jordan and I pray daily in this process asking God to give us patience and a peace of mind in this whole journey.  My next appointment is on June 30 where they will check my follicles.  We are praying for good news!
