Well I mentioned in a few posts back that we've been having difficulty trying to get pregnant with our second child. I don't know why we never had a problem when we got pregnant with Blayne. However, since I gave birth to Blayne I have had like 5 periods. I went on birth control when I went in for my 6 week checkup after having Blayne. I was on Yasmin for about 8 months and then we wanted to start again so I stopped taking it. May of last year was my last month of pills. June came and no period, then July and then August. So before we PCSed I went to the clinic on Kadena. She did some bloodwork and ran a few tests but I never heard the results due to the move. So as we were getting ready to leave the island I finally had one. WOO HOO right but that was to be misinterpreted.
The next month I got one and the next so I thought I was good and back on track. Well the 4th month came and went and nothing, so took test Negative. Then I thought it was due to the move and the holidays with stress so when January came and went with nothing I got a little worried. February came and still nothing. Then in March my sister in law advised me to talk to the dr about it so I made an appointment with the women's health dr on Whiteman. She and I talked and she decided to first run bloodwork and give me this medication to jumpstart a period. Well she said if it didn't work then call her within 2 weeks and she'd refer me to an offbase doctor. So I took the medicine, and NOTHING I was so upset and worried at the same time. So I called and she referred me off base. I then made an appointment and was going to see an OB doctor.
Well I went to that appointment and she decided to run more tests and also schedule an ultrasound to check the ovaries and all that. So of course she also gave me a stronger medication that would start a period. She said if 2 weeks after I was done taking it if I still didn't have a period to call her and let her know. So on the positive side it did help me to start one. It was not all that bad I thought it would have been a very heavy and very crampy one but suprisingly it was fine. Then I had to do specific days where I went in and did bloodwork and also the ultrasound. I finally have finished all the stuff she needed me to do and now I am waiting to see if I get a 2nd period or not before I go back to see her on the 23rd of June. She thinks that I could possibly have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. From what I've read it doesn't seem that bad but it makes it a little harder to conceive and also increases chances of miscarriage.
Needless to say I've been doing a lot of praying and reading up on what can help and all that. Lately though the Devil has been wearing me out. I know I shouldn't be listening to the little things in my head and just put my faith in the Lord as he gave us a wonderful little boy! I just can't help it I hate to even mention this but when I hear someone is pregnant I get frustrated and I know I shouldn't I should be ecstatic but sometimes I just feel like God's not there for us. But in reality I know he is and always will be for me. I know in my own time and when the Lord is ready he will give us another child I just get what is the word i'm looking for......Jealous I guess you could call it. It has been just about a year now and I'm hoping that when I go to the dr's she can give me a better answer to why I haven't had very many and why all of a sudden I just stopped after never having a problem til after giving birth.
I just need to believe in the Lord and keep reminding myself everything happens for a reason! I love the Lord and I will always remind myself of that especially when the Devil tries to kick me down.
Well there's my story and I will keep you posted on my results when I get them. Hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Oh, Becky... I will be praying for you. Reading your story brings back so many memories of my own. I know just how you're feeling.... from the frustration, down to the jealousy-- I've been there. Just keep your eyes on the Lord--- like you said, he knows what's best for you, and he knows what time is right.
On a side note... when I lost weight, my PCOS went away! My doctor said that is the only way to get rid of the syndrome. Something to consider if you don't want to rely solely on medication.
(((Hugs))) Girl, I have been down that road 3 times now. I know what your feeling. I will be praying for you and for wisdom for the doctors as well. There have been times when I have had to remind myself every single day that God doesn't make mistakes and that if I wasn't pregnant then there was a reason why. The 1st time we were trying it took us a year to get pregnant. It seemed like people who weren't even trying would get pregnant and I couldn't. The second time took 9 months and seemed like an eternity. This last time it took 15 months. And you know what, compared to a lot of people that isn't even that long of a wait. Tori (at church) has been trying every month for 9 years! Diane (also from church) tried for 16 years and just had a baby. I know how hard waiting can be, but just let the Lord be your strength. Sometimes He uses trials in our lives to bring us closer to Him. I know that certainly has been the case in my life.
Okay, enough rambling from me. I sure so wish you could spell check comments. =)
