Hello ladies! My DH and I have been together for 5 years and married for two. We decided to start trying to expand our family a year ago and it's been a long year of TTC, with not a single BFP in sight...

I had a doctors appointment on August 28th. Much to my dismay the doctor wouldn't do anything until I had another physcial done. When I went to make that appointment I found out her next available one isn't until...... APRIL!!! That was another 8 months away!

That being said, I made some phone calls and found a doctor, DH's doctor actually, who could see me before April. We've already been referred to a fertility clinic and are now just waiting for the appointment.

Lots of Sticky Baby Dust to all of the TTC'ers!

May we all get our BFP soon!

09-03-08: Finally... Some progress! After having a mini-meltdown when my new doctor told me that I wouldn't get to have a physical until April... I have found someone who is willing to help us!! I made my DH go into his doctor yesterday, because of having gone through Chemo 5 years ago the doctor immediately said that he was doing up a referral for a specialist appointment!!! YEAH!!! We should hear from the University (that's where they are) in about a week the doctor said. He's going to have them run all the tests on us and go from there... I'm so excited! In the meantime I've made an appointment with his doctor, I figured I'd give him a try. I have my 'meet & greet' appointment today; and they've already scheduled a physical for me in TWO WEEKS!! Yes that's right, two weeks, not 8 months! I'm on CD28 today, still no AF but I'm sure she'll be here shortly, she has to be coming since I didn't ovulate, there's no way I can be preggers.... I knew that there had to be someone out there who was willing to help us!!

09-08-08: CD33 and AF has made her grand appearance! No warning, no light spotting... just WHAM! Not at all surprised to see her, as a matter of fact I've been expecting her. Next Wednesday (17th) I get to go for my physical and I have an U/S scheduled for next Friday (19th) so they can take a look at my ovaries. Still haven't heard from the specialist, not that I should have, it's still early. On a sad note, DH's grandma passed away on Sept 5th. I didn't know her that well but it's still sad when someone passes. Not sure on the funeral details yet, should know more later today; but either way we'll be taking a trip to Calgary soon. Hope everyone's doing well... and can't wait to see the specialist and get this new leg of our TTC journey on the road...

09-20-08: Well I haven't been online too much these days; we made the trip to Calgary last Thursday for DH's grandmoher's memorial service, it was very nice. It was good to see so much family in one place at one time, even though the circumstances weren't great. I had my physical on Wednesday, it went well. Doctor said that everything is looking and feeling normal. Then Friday was the ultrasound of my ovaries... OH MY GOD!! I had to drink 6 big glasses of water at least an hour before the u/s without emptying my bladder... I had to go to the bathroom SO bad it felt like my bladder was going to explode!!! Last thing to do before seeing the specialist is fasting for bloodwork.

I'm glad to say that we've been so busy this month I haven't done too much thinking about TTC. It's been nice to just be together and not worrying about timing and if we "have to" BD today, tomorrow, yesterday. LOL!! I'm taking a night class now, so that's taking up alot of my time now too. Hmmm... what else... I guess I'm just enjoying not worrying, and happy to know that we will have help soon. OH!! When we were in Calgary we stayed at DH's brothers, we got to spend some quality time with our nephew (he's 2 next month) what a cutie, and smart. He LOVES his Auntie Tasha!!! That made me pretty happy! We were busy playing blocks, sliding in the backyard and rolling down the hill. He just kept giggling and giggling!!

09-25-08: Who would've thought so much could happen in 5 days?! So I went from extreme happiness and excitement at the thought of seeing a specialist to being very upset and urked at my doctor for not following through. It was 3 weeks ago that we were told that our doctor did the referral letter for the specialist, and today we find out this isn't true... they only just sent it on the 19th!!!! I guess the important thing is they have it now; the lady, Nancy, said it's approx. 3 months waiting time right now -- got to love public health care -- we could've been 3 weeks farther than were we are now, but noooo.... *sighs* Oh well, 3 months from now is still better than waiting until April for a physical and THEN going on the waiting list. So now I've just got every part of my body crossed and hoping to get in before Christmas time... that would be a wonderful gift!!

10-06-08: CD29 and AF has arrived!!! After a year of TTC it's good to see at least one thing is consistent; the absolute irregularity of my cycle. Oh well right... I had this intense urge to test over the weekend, but fought it; I'm glad that I didn't waste a test. So on to another month. October is going to be really busy month for us, and I'm sure that BD'ing will happen few and far between. Guess we'll just enjoy ourselves when we get the chance and keep counting down the months/weeks/days until our specialist appointment.
