Our Jouney to Zackarys sibling
Months ago Jeremy and I started to have the urge to have another baby. We have adjusted perfectly to having a little one around, and decided we were mentally, financially, and spiritual ready to welcome another child into this world. We talked for a few months and took some time to think about it and came to the desioion to remove my IUD in May. We tried for a month with me tracking my cycle and I knew that I was not ovulating just like before Zackary. So we started making the appointments, starting with our Primary Care Manager(PCM). Dr.Elemurean sent us off with a referral to go see a specialist. We waited for about two weeks to get the referral in the mail. If finally came so I called Dr.Rhishi for an appointment, lucky me she couldn't see me for almost a MONTH! >:( My first appointment with her was pretty uneventful just how I like them, she prescribed me a 100mg of Clomid and sent me on my way. I took them the first month, but was not able to confirm ovulation on an Ovulation Perdition Kit(OPK). The second month was the same luck however I did get to experience the hellacious heat flashes, blurred vision, headache, night sweats and lovely mood swings every month. So I returned to Dr.Rhishi to see what she wanted to do now. This appointment was as nice as the first, she was very rude and told me she couldn't do anything else for me. This started a domino effect of phone calls, doctor appointments and countless hours looking online for a new doctor. I seen my PMC Elemurean on Monday, she was sweet and promptly put in my new referral to a Reproductive Endocrinologist in Temple TX about 35mil north of us. I was on cloud nine and thinking "Wow that was so easy!" I figured it would take longer to get an appointment then it would to get my referral so I took initiative and called to make an appointment. To my horror they couldn't see me till FEBURARY!!!! My world started crashing down around me. So that sent be back to square one look for a dr. and making more phone calls. After a hand full of calls to Tricare, we came to the conclusion that there was no other network doctors in my area, however there was a non-network provider in Austin that if my referral was approved I could go to. I frantically called tricare this morning to see if I could switch my referral to the new doctor, and to my surprise the first one had already gone threw in less than 24 hours. They said they would push it threw and I should know if its approved by Friday but were pretty sure I wouldn't have an issue. I was so releaved and happy. I called my new doctor in Austin and was able to get a appointment for MONDAY AT 10:30!!!! They said it would only be a consultation and I would need to bring my records. So we all loaded up and headed to Darnell Hospital to get my records, and I checked them out with no problem. I looked threw them and found most of my tests and lab work but couldn't find my HSG test so we will see if I have to take it again.I am so hopeful and pray this man can help get us pregnant in a few months. If not than on to San Antonio to a military hospital that preforms IVF at a very discounted price. But I hope it doesn't come to that.......
a little background
Well I decided to make this as an outlet for all my emotions and thoughts, & trust me there is a lot of them right now. lol I guess a little back ground on our family. Jeremy and I have been married for 4 wonderful years. We have a son, Zackary, who is about 16 months now. Some friends and most family know that its took us a long and hard two and half years to conceive him. We seen numerous doctors and had tons of tests done, and found you that I don't ovulate on my own. Giving us about a 1% chance of conceiving a child any given month. It was a miracle to have conceive, carry, deliver, and nurse our son. I am eternally thankful for my blessing. With all that being said, I can't help but have a burning desire to have another little one around the house. I see Zack play with other kids, young and older, and he has a blast. He loves other kids, I know he would love a brother or sister. I think about way down the road when Jeremy and I are gone or old and sick, the though of leaving Zack here with no other family kills me.
