Finding out about being broken

Two years and one month ago my husband and I gave birth to a beautiful, perfect baby boy. He weighed 7 pounds, 12 oz and was 21 1/4 long. Pure perfection.

But lets rewind a little farther. October 2007. My husband and I had been married 2 months. We were itching to have a little one. He was working as a hydraulic engineer in T*Town at the time and I was a full time student at OK State. So off the pill I went and we tried and tried. Right after Valentines day 2008 we found out we were going to have a baby! It only took 4 months for us to get pregnant the first time. The pregnancy was pretty monotonous as far as pregnancies go. I was induced 1 week early and after about 10 hours of labor our son was born.

After his first birthday we decided to try for #2. Now, if your math is correct that means its been about 12 months of trying. And my belly is still empty. Oh but I forgot, the wild card. Two months after our son was born my husband found out he had Testicular cancer. Within a week he had surgery to remove the cancerous testicle. Radiation followed two months after the surgery. About 6 months after the radiation (give or take a month or two) he started hormone supplements because his testosterone was quite low.

So after trying for about 2 months for # 2 we decided he should check out what lefty is shooting. Imagine our extreme surprise when it was 0. Nope not a type. The tech had to check twice and call in an second opinion. He had nothing there. So we talk to husband's urologist who says well, go off the testosterone for 3 months and we will check again. And by the Grace of God, 3 months later that 0 turned into 39 million! Yay husband is fixed, now lets get knocked the heck up!

So, now its April/May 2010. We find out then that I have slightly low TSH. After 7 months of trying to figure out why, they still aren't sure. But it is so slightly low, most Drs ignore it. Ok, fine. Which brings us to early November 2010. I go to see my OB/GYN because I haven't had a normal menstraul cycle since January. As in, 2-7 days early and lasting 10-14 days (yup pure hell ladies!). So since we are trying for a baby, the Dr Rx's 10 mg of provera for 10 days and 50 mg of clomid for 5 days. I will finish the provera (medicine to start the menstraul cycle) on Sunday. From there I will take the clomid starting on day 5 of my cycle.

Heres to luck that this is our lucky cycle. Cycle #13. Hopefully, 9 months from now I will be holding a beautiful perfect bundle (or maybe even two, I'd be ok with that, instant full family at once) of joy.
