The next move...

Once again, another cycle has begun. Just like clockwork, which at least makes me happy since my cycle was so irregular for a while. Today was bittersweet. I kind of knew it was coming, and I'm ok with that. It came, I didn't cry, but I just thanked the Lord for another beautiful day I was able to wake up to an amazing husband, family, friends, job, LIFE.

I know the Lord is just waiting for that perfect time to surprise me with "you're pregnant." I joked with some friends this weekend about how I can never be surprised. I knew about my "surprise" 16th birthday and when everyone jumped out, I had to act like I didn't know. I pretty much knew when my husband was about to propose, even though to this day he probably doesn't believe I knew. I know what every present for Christmas or birthday will be. I just always have had an idea as to when things were going to happen for me, except this whole getting pregnant thing hasn't really followed the pattern.

Now the question is where to go now. The OBGYN told me a while back to go ahead and do 6 cycles of Clomid and if that didn't work we would talk about what to do next. But, I don't think I want to do the other 2 rounds. I just have a feeling something else is going on. The Clomid is making me ovulate, which is its job, but I'm not getting pregnant, so I think I need to get checked out by a fertility specialist. I called the phone nurse at my OBGYN today and left a message for her to ask my doctor what she thought about going ahead and recommending me to a specialist. I haven't heard back yet, but I hope I can. I think the HSG test is the next move to make, but until I hear back I'm just going to wait on scheduling anything. I would really like for my insurance to pay at least a little bit of what the test costs, but they won't unless it is deemed necessary by my physician. I hope by now, she will see that it is definitely necessary.

On another more happy note, we signed the contract to by the lot on the east side of town closer to my parents, work, etc. and the owners signed back! Now, we just have to close on the lot and it is ours:) I don't know how fast or slow this process will go (selling our home, building another) because I've never dealt or been around this kind of process before. I'm trusting that the Lord will continue to provide for our family and everything will work out in his timing. I'm excited to see what He has in store!
