Hello to the world out there!
Just thought I'd give an update on our situation.
As you all know I had Laproscopic surgery in February to try help some of my problems. After the surgery everything was going really well and I was have six week cycles, although not perfect it was the best my health had been in years. In July I had three positive pregnancy tests at about nine weeks from my last period. The doctors did a blood test and the next day I got a very heavy period and suffered a lot of discomfort. The blood test was negative. The mind can be the worst at times like these. We are curious beings and we try to work it out. Truth be told, I can't work it out! I'll never truly know what happened, I just have to accept that.
So we saw our brilliant Doctor again and he did a scan and my ovaries were pretty much back to square one. The doctors advice was that we needed to make a decision on what we wanted. Do we want a baby? If so, the answer as it always has been is IVF with ICSI. It was at that moment that I was reminded that my body is so unpredictable. The doctor knows what he's working with right now, what will my body be like it 2 years. Will my success rate diminish?? We made a decision. IVF starting at the end of November this year. I have left my job due to not being able to take time off for the IVF (but that's a whole story on its own), I am working on my weight- I aim to loose 15- 20 KJS, and we are saving, saving, saving.
The last few months has been stressful and heart wrenching once again, but I finally see a little hope. We have a plan and we are finally doing SOMETHING!
Not a day goes by were I don't think about the hand we have been dealt. It's times like these that I have to remind myself that our hand may be a lot less painful then other peoples. Bad things happen, but I guess the point I am trying to make is "It's what you do with these experiences and how they shape and change you that matters".
Talk again soon.
May Peace fill your lives.

P.S I thought I would leave you with an assignment I did for my visual communication subject. I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with my passion of photography. The story I aim to tell, is one of the importance of childhood. Take a look!
