Even though we are in the midst of a move, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant. I know that sounds crazy, but with my history it will probably take forever for it to happen and if it happens sooner that later at least nine months from now we will be back in North Carolina by the time that the baby is born.
After I had my last child, I didn't really want to have another one. My recovery from it was really difficult, I got really sick and I couldn't even hold her for the fist week she was at home.
I have something called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS. Its fairly common. The symptoms are weight gain (check) Irregular periods and in turn not ovulating(check) high blood pressure (check) Diabetes (not yet, but I do show signs of insulin resistance) and an increase of male hormones (I do have some facial hair that I do remove, but I haven't sprouted balls yet!) among several other symptoms. No fun in other words.
I think that the one thing that bothers me the most is that I have so many problems with fertility. I was on meds to conceive my second child and it cause mood swings and I was so depressed that it had to come to that to have a baby. I really want to try for a boy, but I am not really looking forward to all that it take to get there. I just wish that it would happen the old fashion way like with my first.
This last two months I actually got my period and I tracked the days that I should have been ovulating, and we well you know and I am hoping that it worked. If not it was fun trying! As of right now I my period is 6 days late, I took a pregnancy test on Friday and it was negative, but I read that women with PCOS sometimes won't get a positive test result for a while because the hormone levels are so low. So I am hoping that I am pregnant now.
