Today I had my first doctor's appointment with the fertility specialist. It was pretty standard stuff - they wanted to know all my medical history, my family history, my background and even my religion. OK? We went over the female anatomy (always a fun refresher), and he made sure to ask how often my husband shaves and whether or not I wax my face. That one caught me off guard. And it took me a second, but I realized he wanted to see if our hormones were in check. In case you wanted to know, my husband shaves like every other day and I don't wax my face. Haha.
The doctor notified me that 90% of women my age trying to conceive usually do so within 6 months, so our situation is abnormal. Thanks for the reassurance Doc! But all in all, he did not seem too concerned. We have a few simple tests to run and insemination is a possibility depending how the tests turn out, but we just have to start from here and see where it goes. We're hoping 2009 is the year of the baby, but time will tell.
Oh and I've started notifying my family and friends to stop praying for one baby. It's time to get greedy and start asking for twins. Then I can get this thing over with in one shot. ;) Thanks in advance God!

Fun, fun! There are perks to the whole thing. I hoping someday to be able to say my doctor knocked me up. Haha! You're on your way!!
Happy Birthday Janna!!!!!!!
You're definitely a baby maker. And you two will make some cute babes.
Keep on Keeping on girlfriend.
I know how you are feeling. Rob and I tried for over a year and then went to a fertility specialist. We did lots of tests and couldn't find anything wrong. We were just about to sign all the forms for the procedures and I got a really bad feeling about the whole thing. So I put everything on hold. The next month we pregnant with Sophia. It's funny the way things work themselves out. It's hard to have patience for something you have been trying so long for.
I'll jump on the prayer for two wagon. :)
awe good greef right??!! it is funny cause we know we can get prego cause we have delila but this time no success!! anyways i understand how you totally feel!! gooooood luck. we only have a couple more months before we have to do other options. grr!!!!!
You know what would be even easier than having twins and getting it all done in one shot? Getting yourself an "Insta-Kid" about ten years old and pretty cute. You think Luke will make it all the way out there in an animal crate?
I kid, of course. Good luck in your efforts. Just keep in mind, your odds of getting pregnant go up considerably the more times you do the nasty. So, tell Paul to stock up on the Red Bull and get that cardio workout going!
Love You!
