ICLW!

Welcome ICLWers!  I am so glad and awed that you stopped by my blog!  I will give you a little background.  I am a manager/personal trainer and I love my career choice.  It is rare that I dread going to work or training a client! 

When we decided to go off BC, it went a few months without me getting my period.  Boy let me tell ya it is disheartening when you think "I must be pregnant since I am not getting my period yet.  Maybe I am one of the lucky ones who gets knocked up by her hubs staring at her."  Um NO!!  That was not me.  We went to the doc and my hormones were so low because I had really low body fat.  I was told to put on some weight to get my levels up.  GASP!  PUT ON SOME WEIGHT!!  I help people take it off.  That was a struggle mentally for me, but the hopeful result helped in the end.  We did a month of hormone replacement therapy to jump start my hormones.  (Think menopause treatment.  That is a slap to the self esteem at 27 years old!)  After 2 rounds of Clomid at 50mg and 100mg, we are on our way to a healthy baby GIRL at the end of July.

Having gone through unknown infertility and then known infertility, it has opened my eyes to the struggle emotionally and physically it can put on you and your spouse.  They are affected just as much, but in a different way.  Clint, my hubs, is the most amazing man and we have grown even closer through it all.  I fall in love him a little more each day, as well as this sweet girl growing in my belly! 

Have a great ICLW week!  I look forward to commenting on new and blogs I follow.  See you around the blog world.
