For those of you that knew me a few years ago...I'm sure this is a big surprise. I was one of those people that was SURE I didn't want to have any kids. Really sure....

Or so I thought...I guess life just started happening. I started not having so many deadlines and finish lines around the corner (undergrad, vet school, internship, get a job, move, etc...) and life just started slowing down and falling into place.

Then I reached a point where the days were turning into weeks, the weeks into months and I thought to myself, "Is this it? This is it for the next 50 years?" And so I suppose the natural sequence of events found their way to me....a little late in life but now I'm embracing the path towards pregnancy...

....even though it has not been embracing me.
Here's my journey.

Starting out...

Took me a few days to start this...I'm always looking for pictures to add in and that's what slows me down but I figure I'll just get the text going and go from there.

So this blog is intended to track my path towards pregnancy and parenthood. I follow all these great blogs of people with their pregnancy and children and figured I would start at the VERY beginning :-)

Currently I'm on month #2 of fertility drugs. After the last 9 months of trying to make things work the "natural" way, we decided to embark on the next steps. Both of us are healthy and aren't showing any issues that should hinder parenthood but I guess age isn't helping much!

Last month was my first month on Clomid. With high hopes I took the med for a week, was checked and noted that I had a good developing follicle and then used the injectable ovulation induction and started on progesterone since the Clomid thinned out my uterine lining too much. No baby magic Month 1.

This month they have put me on a different fertility medication called Femara that is supposed to not have the side effects to my uterine lining that the Clomid did. *I* think I'm handling the meds great, except for some crazy hot flashes and night sweats, but if you check with Randy, he'll tell you I can be a raving bi-otch. Since I'm writing the blog though, I've been handling the meds great! :-)

Next week will be my follicle scan to see if my body is responding to the fertility drugs well. Ideally I should be producing some great, healthy good sized follicles that are just waiting to burst out with a healthy egg.

We'll see!
