The First Posting!!

So I have decided to start a blog believe it or not!! The reason is so that I can keep friends and family updated on the progress/lack of progress on our road with infertility. Some of you may not know our story, so I will start by telling it. Tuna and I knew each from high school..but never really talked. He was a year older then me and and I was WAY to good for him, so I thought! The summer after I graduated from high school my close friend Amanda and I started to hung out with a bunch of "new" people in that group was Tuna. We all hung out though the summer of 2004..and I started to date Tuna!! We dated for almost 1 year and he proposed to me!

The proposal was a total surprise to me..some how everyone kept a secret from me which is kind of hard to do!! I wouldn't say the proposal was the most romantic, but that is Tuna and that is why I love him..he loves the little things! He had just started at his current job at Farm Rite and we were still living at my mother's house. He called me from work and said he need to go to St.Cloud after work to pick something up for this "job", needless to say I was less then impress at the time! He got to my mother's house and hide the ring box in his hat. Came in to my room and sit next to me on the bed and said "I bought something for you today!!" I said "what is it?" well..."it is a ring..will you marry me?" my response was "How did you pay for it?" LOL!! Like I said it was not the most romantic, but that is not what mattered!

We planned a Saturday,October 28,2006 wedding! It was beautiful fall day. We had our closest family and friends there! Our wedding a pretty good size you could say..we each had 6 attendants on each side and 3 ring bears. It will be a day that I will never forget!

Sometime about year in to our marriage we started talking about have children. So we decided to start trying. I never thought we would have any problems trying to conceive a baby! I knew that my cycle was NEVER normal, but didn't give it much thought. So we "tried" on our own for a 5 months and then I decided that I should go to the doctor for some help. When I found out there was nothing they would do for you until you had "Medically" had been trying for a year. We did that with no luck on our own! So I went back to the doctor and he is a great doctor but just a general family doctor. So I decided to go see a fertility doctor. I was diagnosed with PCOS(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). Which in a nut shell means I only get a few periods though the year and most likely don't ovulate.

So we started on a pill back in August,2009 called "Clomid" which is a fertility medication. In my case though it was suppose to help me get my cycle back to normal! So every month I would go back to the doctor and get a shot in my butt to start my "Fake" period, so I could take the medication in hope I would get my period on my own the next month. We tried that in for many months with now luck!

So this past month now March,2010 we started a new trial pill. This pill is a one time thing..If he works it works if it doesn't it doesn't! So we will see I go back to the doctor on April,30 2010! To see if it worked and if not what the next option is! Until then...Keep up in your prayers!! ~The Lange's
