Trying to Conceive – Update

I’m trying very hard to stay optimistic about this whole process.

Today was my yearly exam with my midwife.  She said everything looked and felt good, which is a positive, but when I told her that my husband and I started TTC in December 2011 she was worried. 

I’ve been told and read that you wait a year (if you’re under the age of 35) before talking to the doctor about having trouble TTC.  So to me waiting until my yearly pap was perfect timing. She said that’s ancient knowledge and immediately gave me the number for a Reproductive Specialist (an RE).  

So yeah.  I thought she was going to give me some helpful hints and say call me in 2 months.  Instead I’m scheduled to and HSG which is a test that looks inside your uterus and fallopian tubes to see if there is any blockage.  And I have to schedule my husband to get a semen analysis done, which I’m sure he’ll love.  I haven’t even been able to talk to him about all of this because he left his phone at home this morning.

I’ll be honest, I did start to tear up. But not because I’m sad, just because I can’t believe I’m here and because I got so much love and support this morning for my internet bitches. (they’re not bitches, BTW). 

I’m praying that since I’m moving onto the next step I’ll magically get lucky and be pregnant this cycle. I know wishful thinking, but why not? Can’t hurt anything.

So until  have more news…prayers please
