My Little Miracle

Its been a long time since I have posted, but I wanted to post and let everyone know that my little miracle has made it into the world.  Our little Lyla Mae made her appearance on October 31, 2012.  My life will forever be changed since that moment on.  She is the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on. i can hardly look at her without a tear coming to my eye.
The purpose of this post is to show all those women with endometriosis, that sometimes things do work out and hope should never be lost.  As shown in my previous posts becoming a mother was a huge concern for me.  There was nothing in this world that meant as much to me.  My whole life, I always had a feeling like i was meant to be a mom.  When I thought that becoming a Mom, might never be a reality, it tore me up inside.  I felt lost.  I really didn't feel like I had a purpose in this life.
My purpose has now been restored, and God had answered all of my prayers. My life has forever changed and I will never take the gift that God gave me granted.  She has brought so much love and beauty into my life.  I am forever grateful to my Doctor, family, God, and my significant other for the support.

Things are looking up.....

So I haven't posted on here in awhile, and I definitely think it time for a little update.  My last post talked about having some blood work done to test my pituitary and thyroid. Good news, they came back normal.  Yay me!!  Well that isn't the end to my good news, I found out that I am expecting!!  I don't know how to express how I feel right now.  Happy, relieved, excited,blessed.  I feel like for the first time in a very long time, that things are actually going to work out.  For those who do not have the disease, they really don't understand the magnitude of the news.  I have been to my Doctor, and I think he was just as excited as I was!!  I have said it before and I will say it again.  I love my Doctor and feel very blessed that God brought him into my life. I have him to thank for everything, and because of him, I can actually say I'm going to be a Mom, and it feels so good to say that.  I cannot wait to meet my little blessing in November, and I hope and pray for a healthy pregnancy.

Lupron Is Done, But is it the end....

I finished all of the Lupron injections!!! My last appointment with my doctor was on December 5th.  During this appointment, He told me that my body should start kicking back into gear by the middle of December and after the first period  I could start trying for a baby which would be around the New Year.  Well, here it is the middle of January and still no period.  So today, I called my Dr. just to make sure that this was normal.  He called back shortly and decided to put me on medication to induce a period.  I had them call in the prescription to the pharmacy.

While at the pharmacy, I get another phone call from the Dr.'s office.  This time telling me that they think it might be a good idea to check my pituitary and thyroid function.  Evidently, the two glands can play a major part in conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy.  Even though, I am a nurse this never crossed my mind that possible something else could be wrong. i was just thinking okay my body is just taking a little longer than normal to kick back in.  So he is sending me the physicians order to get the blood work done to check my thyroid and pituitary. Hopefully, very soon I will know what in the world is going on with me and get my life back to order.  

I am trying very hard to be optimistic right now, but it just seems like it is never ending!!  I was looking so forward to feeling like normal again!!  Well, hopefully in another week or so, I will have the results of the blood work and I will have some answers....only time will tell.
