Hey Anne, I'd really encourage you to check out Stepping Stones. they are getting ready to send out their quarterly newsletter, and I took a peek at some of their online discussion boards... looks really encouraging. I wonder if this would be a good thing for Pat and Megan too? It's not just for infertility, but for situations like yours where your just trying to get pregnant, for infant loss, miscarriage, etc. Anywhoo, here's the link:
I kind of stumbled across this blog of yours, but I'm glad to share in this journey and I will certainly be praying for you guys often. Have either of you gone to see a doctor yet, or are you going to try for a few more months first? Best of luck this next cycle!
Kristen, thank you so much seriously! I am happy that you stumbled across my blog as well, and happy that you are blogging now too! I am def. going to check out the Stepping Stones website. Typically doctors will not do any sort of testing on you until you have been trying for at least one year. Unless of course I was charting and my cycles were off and I could tell I wasn't ovulating or something, but that is not the case. But Chris has an appt. to get a physical on Sept. 3rd with my doctor, which will be his new doctor, and he is going to give him a lab for a S/A. So I am sorta anxious because I would like to know the results of that. It will be interesting to see what happens.
