Sick Daze

Wow, sometimes we have these little curve balls thrown at us... I had one recently. I have been seeing a fertility doctor as my husband and I try to start our own little family. It has been quite the journey. Last month the doctors found a cyst, but it was small enough to continue with the treatment, with the hope that it would go away on it's own. This month I went back to the doctor after being nauseous and hurting (think really bad cramps). So, the doctor did some more tests- there are tons of tests when you're trying to manipulate your body to do something it doesn't want to do.

The cyst had tripled in size and that was what was causing the pain and sickness. He put me on... birth control pills- awwww the angst as we decided to go with the doctor (who knows what he's doing...).

So, my thoughts have been on my little dilemma for the last few weeks. I'm not so much worried about getting pregnant... I KNOW that I will. My question is always when and how much more pain? So, I thought it would help to talk about this, write it all down and move forward as soon as I push that little "send" button.

I have been so blessed in my life that I can't complain and I know I will be pregnant sooner than later... I guess I just thought it would be a little easier than all this. Haha- life is never what you think it should be. The struggle to the top of the mountain will make me appreciate the view that much more once I get there...

Melissa! I guess since I can't write you on Facebook I'll just have to come to your blog. I love your optimism with this whole pregnancy thing! Very, very good. And isn't it true--the view at the top looks so much better after struggles? Anyway, I sure do love you! I hope for the best for you and Scott. Oh, p.s., when are you going to get that book of yours published? :) Love ya!
