Day 3

Phew.. Phone call to the specialist is done... sooo the funny thing is that if we get pregnant with this one round of treatment we can afford right now, we will end up getting pregnant at almost the exactly the same time we got pregnant with our daughter Lila... too funny huh??

SO I am a member of my local MOMS club and I have to say that they are so awesome. Not only do I have something to do in the morning to get out of my house, but I also found a great group of friends that I can count on when I need help or need venting. Although none of them have fertility issues they are all very supportive and understand when I am down or just need a hug.

To day we went over to one of the mom's houses and had the kids play in the kiddie pools. Lila was not too sure about playing in the pools when other kids where in it as well.. but she was content to wander about and play in the grass.

It is so wonderful to be able to say that we were outside and it was beach weather in early April!!! I love the South!

Day 1

Day 1....
For many people this simple phrase means some different things... Day 1 of work, of spring break, of vacation. For people who are living with fertility issues Day 1 means something entirely different. It means that a cycle has begun and it is time to start a round of fertility treatments to try to get pregnant.

My name is Shawna Davis. I am a stay-at-home mom in a small military town in Southeast Georgia. I have one child an adorable little girl named Lila, who is 15 months old.

I ended up deciding to start this blog last night, as I lay in bed trying to decide if I was going to be able to go through the whole trying to get pregnant with fertility issues again, as my period had started... which is Day 1

Let me tell you that getting pregnant with my first was not easy and it threw me in to a depression that was hard to pull myself out of. It took us two and a half years to get pregnant with our daughter. That was going through 2 different fertility doctors. The first doctor, never really seemed to care about me as a patient... I was just a number on the list... After that experience it took another whole year for me to decide to try another specialist. The specialist we chose was wonderful, after 3 rounds we found ourselves pregnant only to miscarry early on... We then had to wait another month before trying again because of my PCOS. The next round we found ourselves pregnant.

After a difficult pregnancy and an slightly early delivery we had our beautiful little girl

We watched her grow and now over a year later we decided that I was ready to put ourselves through the difficulty of infertility treatment again. So now we went and decided to go again, only to find out that my husbands' lovely company had changed insurances and now they cover even less than they had previously. So my husband and I sat down to see our finances and right now... we will be able to afford one month, one round of treatment... and then pray that it works...
And so we are back to the first day and deciding that yes.. I can do this again...
