5/9/09 - Update - TTC

I miss having a blog so instead of starting over, I decided to start where I left off on this one in January. Sooo to update you:
Tim and I found out we didn’t have a viable pregnancy on his birthday. (Note to self- don’t make Dr appts on special days). Non-viable pregnancy is basically a miscarriage. From what I researched, I had a blighted ovum. Everything starts developing, but the embryo stops.
I had to have a D&C (surgically remove the gestational sac) as well as take Cytotech to flush any remaining products of conception out – It was finally time to start healing emotionally and physically. Little did I know it would take 4 months to heal physically. What a roller coaster of pain, mystery and frustration!
But here we are, finally able to try again. Tim and I have been trying to enjoy our new home and find joy in the other aspects of our lives. But I know for me, every day that goes by is another day of me just waiting to get pregnant again.
I’m really trying not to stress anymore – as stressing is clearly not helping. But mothers day is tomorrow and I really thought I’d be pregnant again by now. God is working on providing me patience and peace. Some days are easier than others but trying to get pregnant is certainly fun!
The silver lining in this is there is absolutely no doubt that Tim and I are ready to be parents. I knew I was certainly ready, but its been very heart warming to see Tim get excited and doing what he can to help us get pregnant again. He’s so ready to be a daddy and I know he’ll be a good one.
Anyway, now that I’ve updated this, I’m hoping to provide more updates as this wonderful journey of TTC continues….
