For the last 13 months Wayne and I have been trying to give Nathan a little brother or sister to pick on. Things have not been working and finally after many sad months we have been accepted by a Fertility Specialist again. For anyone that may not know, I have PCOS (which is Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) and to explain it simply is that my body produces too many male hormones called androgens. This causes my body not to work properly which causes us to have a hard time getting pregnant as well as other complications, which I don't think anyone really wants to read about here. :)
We had to go to a specialist before to get pregnant with Nathan, and were blessed with being pregnant only a month after we started treatments. Well this time around we started the same treatments over a year ago, hoping it would be as easy as with Nathan, no such luck. :( It has been an incredibly hard challenge to go through. There is nothing in the world that I love more than being a Mom, and it is something that I have always wanted to be. What I would give to be like some of my friends that wash their clothes with their husbands and they're pregnant. :) But that is not the plan that Heavenly Father has for me.
So now after trying for this long we get to go see the good old Specialist. At my last appointment the dr. informed me that since I wasn't ovulating that they would probably put me on a drug called Clomid. Clomid makes you ovulate (at least that is what they tell me), but it also can make you drop mulitiple eggs. So my kind dr. informed me that the risk of a multiple birth is higher. OH YIPEE!!! not!! I have had nightmares since about breastfeeding 6 babies, all the diapers, etc. Of course this is very unlikely ( I HOPE). Usually it is only twins or triplets, which still is scarey. Oh boy.
Anyways, we had to go on a 3 month waiting period and man I was hoping I would get pregnant before then... no luck. So in only 23 days we will be seeing our specialist and hopefully we will be able to get preggers soon.
Please keep us in your thoughts and your prayers.

You are always in our prayers.
I think that it would be cool for you to have multiple births... 6 babies... heck, you have two baby feeders, Wayne could get the male bottle bra like Apu had on the simpsons, and Nathan needs to learn that babies aren't just for his sheer enjoyment therefore if he wants to play, he'll need to pay by changing some diapers.... hahaha....
