Just a little update

So I haven't been very good at keeping up with this blog, but there isn't much to update very often! I am loving my job as a mother baby nurse. It is so amazing to be able to be a part of such a special time in people's lives. Trav is a lot happier as a delivery driver, instead of working inside the store. We are doing good on the getting healthier thing, too. We have been trying to get out and walk/run, but the crazy hot weather has put a damper on that. But I'm hoping to get back to it once the weather calms down and gets a little cooler. I haven't talked to a lot of people about this next piece, but I just wanted to share...I was diagnosed with PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome)in March of this year. It is causing us some fertility issues, which is one of the hardest things to deal with for us. Most of you know how much I love children and want to be a mom. We have done three rounds of Clomid, which is a medication that causes your ovaries to release an egg. All three rounds were failures, blood work showing no ovulation. So we are on to the next step. We met with a reproductive endocrinologist last week to figure out what that would be. We will be doing a medication called femara, which is similar to the Clomid. I will have an ultrasound to check how my ovaries are responding, if they respond well to the femara, I will do a trigger shot of hcg to boost egg release. I will also be having a test called an hsg to make sure my tubes are open and check my ovaries and uterus. I'm really hopeful that this combination will work for us and we will get our blessing soon. <3 thanks for listening (well, reading), I will update on our progress when I know more!
