High Five
Before I was a Mom Before I was a Mom - I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday. Before I was a Mom - I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on - Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on, or Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom - I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests...or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom - I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important. Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known The warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Close Infertility, Secondary
Hoping for a 2nd miracle now that I'm 42 w/FSH 17.6. In my 20s, I had ovulation prbms and dr told me I'd have problems conceiving. Husband was hesitant to have kids so we made a deal to wait till my 30s. Was lucky to get pregnant 1st time in mid30s after 11 months on clomid. Thought fertility problems would work themselves out after first child but after trying for 4 years w/o clomid and 1 year w/clomid, I'm considering IVF.
Treatments
- Clomid Not Working
- Worked for 1st child but this time, after about 1 year, no luck.
- Ovulation Predictor Kit Not Working
- Used Ovulation Predictor Kit to help time relations while on clomid. There were problems where it seemed to show a spike within days of taking clomid. Doctor said ignore first spike due to clomid and start using kit after period ended. I switched to a 20/30? day kit to be on safe side.
