"I have been trying to get pregnant for 4 yrs now. I have been to 2 doctors and I finally found one who listens to me. My Dr. and nurse have been so wonderful.
I just don't understand how some women can get pregnant so easy and fast and why there are the ones like me who have to try harder in every way possible. For the ones that don't have any problems and complications, you are so lucky to conceive. I don't wish this situation on anyone. It is a very hard emotional battle to go through. I miscarried 8 yrs ago and to this day I still mourn the loss of our first baby that would have been the first grandchild from Jas and I. The first pregnancy was an awesome surprise and it was taken away just as quickly as I found out. We didn't start trying again until 4 yrs ago and this battle has been very hard. Do any of you have any family or friends who have been in my shoes and have a success story or any information that might help me cope with this awful situation? The problem is on my end not my husband's. I have PCOS, know as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. With this, women do not ovulate and have to have fertility drugs to help them ovulate.
We had good news the last 2 months as I showed I was finally ovulating. Yesterday, however, I had a major blow to my dream. Because of the PCOS my left ovary over stimulated and is the size of a newborn's head. Very painful and life threatening situation. Lots of bed rest and fluids. So once again I have to wait a few months for my ovary to go down and be off the clomid medicine. So it sets us back once again.
This last time of being opened up 5 times to see if my ovaries and tubes were good and clear, my Dr. found my left fallopian tube attached to my colon, yes, you read that right my colon, now how in the world that happened we have not a clue, but that was one problem that he fixed right away. The last Dr. that was in there 4 1/2 yrs ago said all was well and to keep trying. I finally switched after about 3 1/2 yrs, should have switched sooner.
In this 4 yrs of trying, I have had blow by blow and I am sick of it. I refuse to give up my dream to give my wonderful loving husband a baby. We both want our own little family. To my family and friends who have been with me every step of the way, we love you for the love and support! We couldn't make it without you."

When she wrote this blog, I was pregnant with my first child; the first grandchild. It kills me to know what I took away from her and how awful I made her feel. It kills me to know how hard it is for them to go year after year childless when all they want in life is to be parents. It kills me to watch the depression grow and the hope shrink.
