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...
Day 1
