Last night I couldn't sleep so I found one of my Rosaries (actually my favorite but I love them all). And I prayed and won't let my rosary go. I did fall asleep holding onto it and woke up refreshed.
**After reading so many blogs on infertility, prayer and Mary, I felt like I needed to try it out (the Mary part that is). Chris and I pray daily together. It is quite beautiful.
Today, we had a wonderful time together. I really needed that time with Chris to help me get through tomorrow. Tomorrow Chris is going hunting and I am getting a second opinion. ***Our first appointment was canceled because the doctor was sick - Chris was with me when we found out it was canceled. The earliest appointment we could get was for tomorrow and we both knew I was going to go solo.
We want to know all our options. A lot of our friends have been very supportive and encouraging us to find more resources/supports. I am a little nervous to be going to this appointment by myself but I do feel that Jesus and Mary will be with me.
Will try my best to post something tomorrow.

Don't Feel Alone
As 2010 comes to an end, I am happy with what the year has blessed us with.
Chris and I were both accepted into grad school. One of my dear friends got married in April to a fantastic guy. So blessed to celebrate with the two of them. Finished 2.5yrs of teaching May. Then completed my first grad class through Aurora University. It was all about Autism. I love the field I work in. After the grad class, Chris and I started summer school (Craziness - That's where we met and feel in love (2008)).
I married my best friend on July 31st. We celebrated with all our friends and family. :) Then we went to Mexico and had a great time. I have been blessed with a larger family and another set of parents! Tim and Becky are great people who love me so much. Tim calls me his daughter. It melts my heart.
Chris and I have traveled a lot to Texas to visit Tim and Becky. We were even lucky enough to spend Thanksgiving with them. You know after Thanksgiving comes Christmas. This year was our first Christmas as husband and wife. It was a wonderful Christmas. We were able to celebrate with our parents, grandparents and other relatives.
After all of that, we have had one roadblock, I would say. As we prepared for marriage, we learned about Sympto-Thermal Method and started using that to try and conceive a baby. We tried for a few months then our NFP couple suggested a nurse practitioner in the area. This doctor found out several deficiencies. I was heartbroken but she never said that we would never be able to conceive a baby. In 2011, we will be receiving more support from this nurse practitioner and I feel more at ease. After hitting this roadblock, I have learned that I have several friends who are going through similar situations and will always listen/support me. I don't feel like I am going through this alone.
PS My husband has been wonderful and I am so blessed to have him in my life. xox.

My Reality... My prayer....
On November 22nd, 2010, I sat in my doctor's office with my husband. Waiting for them to call my name. They put us in a room and waited for the doctor to come in. The doctor came in and told us that I have two deficiencies in progesterone and estrogen. She also told us that I have low level of Vitamin D and a luteal phase (not producing enough mucus). I got all emotional and the only one who saw it was my husband. My doctor also said if we did get pregnant, we would only have a few hours (less than 24hrs) get into the office before we would miscarry. She also recommended us learning the Creighton Model to help the doctors learn more about my deficiencies.
Today is Christmas Eve.... Even though we still do not have answers. I still believe. I believe that God will get us through this. That one day we will have a baby, either through adoption or our own.
We need to focus on Jesus, Mary and Joseph. How Mary found out that she was to have a baby and they were to call him Jesus. That Joseph was going to be a father and help his Son grow in Christ. Such a powerful story.
