Ch-Ch-Changes

The definition of Insanity: Doing something over and over again and expecting different results. This has become me. INSANE! We have spent the last year trying to get pregnant. Three months ago I felt like God was speaking to me that I needed rest. I had been on Clomid for 6 months with no results. Chris and I were getting burnt out, frustrated, and saddened by not seeing any results. So I took the last three months off from trying. I needed a break from the pressure and I was having surgery. I felt like the last three months were good for me. It help me come to the place where I don't need to strive to make anything happen. I feel like a flip flopper lately with stopping and starting fertility medication. But since I quit the medication I have been noticing the PCOS side effects a whole lot more. I saw my doctor last week because we were concerned that since I went off the medication I was not ovulating and that was the case. So She switched me to Femara. It is safer to take, and it has better results than Clomid. We are mainly taking this medication to get my body back on track. The only side effect is hot flashes. And oh boy! They were not kidding! When I get one all the windows have to be opened and a fan blowing on me. HAHA! I am cheap entertainment. Chris and I also made the decision to see a Fertility Specialist in Bellevue next month. We want to get my PCOS under control and just see what they say. We are in no hurry at all. When this babe comes it will be a joyous celebration, until then Chris and I are loving life and each other.
