My One Year Journey to Fertility.

The Books I started to read before conceiving.:)

This Book contributes you tons of knowledge before getting pregnant.:)

Way back last year early January of 2010 my Husband and I opted to make a personal conversation with the General Practitioner Doctor at the clinic in the Company where my Husband works. The motivation why we wanted to meet the Doctor is to assemble any instructions or recommendation about our plan for having a baby to complete our Family. After the long and very confidential discussion, the Doctor referred me to an OBGYN Doctor, which for her, is one of the best OBGYN Doctor in Czech Republic.

The Time to be Parents is now.:)

 I got the appointment for the Doctor’s OBGYN by March. I said to myself I’m wasting time again coz about almost 3months is my waiting period but I have no choice I have to stick the plan schedule and have to wait.

The waiting game arrived which contributes me so much of questions to be discuss regarding my obstacles. I arrived to the clinic by myself, at this time because my Husband has an important meeting on his work and aside that his new to the Company, and still under on provisions, being not able to command his meeting is not a good idea at this moment. My Husband and I are just about 4months residing in Czech Republic, so by this time Czech for us is kind-of fresh and where still on our adjusting time frame.

Finely after almost 3months of waiting I met the Doctor; first one she does to me is to precede the yearly Pap smear, which I usually do on my earlier location which is Saudi Arabia. After the Pap smear we discuss my main reason why I sought her? I exposed to her that my Husband and I are now ready to have a Baby to bring on our Family home. She asked me what are the problem now that my Marriage was been going 4years and no babies yet? I answered her, because after the weeding I joined my Husband living in Saudi Arabia for 3years and half which having a Baby is not allowed in our compound, if so the Wives will be forced to step out Saudi Arabia right away! And being married my Husband and I are against with long distance relationship we don’t want to be separated then. So we opted to delay first having a Baby due to the main reason.

Now that we moved here in Czech Republic, we did not see any hindrance for not having a Baby and we don’t want to waste any longer time as we are craving to have a little bundle to touched and provide our best to the little peanut as soon as possible. I discuss and openly told my OBGYN that my period is pretty much high irregular. My poverty start when I was 13 years old and after that it will only come after twice a year every 6months of the year, sometimes if lucky it comes after 4months, but mostly it is every 6months and when my period came I have this horrible cramping that made me cry to death due to the horrible pain. When I got married my period arrived about every 2 months, 3months, and sometimes 4months until this time. She asked! When was my last period? I responded it was December of 25th and until now that already March it hasn’t arrived yet. She said it’s very irregular which is not normal being a woman, because of these issues will be having trouble to locate when will be your ovulation period! But I’ll do what we can do; right now I’ll take your blood test for me to crisscross your hormones status, and I’ll give you a call for the result. For now as I saw inside of you you’re period is coming in about 9 to 12 days. So in 15 days I’ll check you again to see inside. We need to check your husband status also, while waiting your next appointment, I’ll recommend a Doctor for your Husband to crisscross his capability on having a Baby because of his age there will be a tendency of having a hardship in the picture to.

Right after a week of that first meeting to my OBGYN, now it’s my Husband turned, good thing because the Assistance of my OBGYN made the appointment for my Husband Doctor and it helped because it is after office hours 6pm so we didn’t see any hindrance not be able to pursue the schedule. I join to the Doctor’s meeting of my Husband. The Doctor is a Man, so I tend to wait outside the Doctor’s room and let them chitchat about Male’s stuffs. It took about an hour my waiting outside which puts me bored seating the chair, listening music, playing games in my gadget, bad thing there was no Wi-Fi password for me to surf the Internet! ohh well it is what it is!

My Husband finely came out with a smile:) I asked what is it means? I’m fine, I have no problem! My Husband feelings are good with a sound of boastful reply. The result will be sent directly to your OBGYN in few days. We lefted right away to the clinic and went to dinner as my Husband said we need to celebrate because my check-up is freaking good, and I’m totally healthy. Right then I said to myself so the problem was in me “Hay Naku Ano Ba Yan.”

My OBGYN was right in about 10days my period came up and again it was horrible pain. I went to my appointment for the second time; my OBGYN read the result of my Pap smear, which is very good she said normal. My Blood test is the problem for my Hormones she found out my immune system is very low, my hormones is abnormal imbalance, I have low on male hormones and blahhh blahhh blahhh. Ohh we received your Husband test, and it’s pretty good. So the next time we should do is to test and to compare your hormones and your Husband Sperm sample. And that should be in the Fertility hospital, my assistance already made and appointment for you and your Husband. I said to my OB wow, you’re team are very efficient an organized.

After talking her, now time to check my inside again. She said though you already bleed your period I still see this thing “I forgot the name” she said this should be not more than 10pcs and also to my other side of ovary the circles are tons. She took my blood test again and said come back by Monday. So Okay! I’ll come back again by Monday that was maybe 5days after. On Monday she checks my inside again and still has those circles around my 2 Ovaries. Then she told me you are “PCOS” Polycystic Ovarian Down Syndrome. Meaning to say it’s the reason why my stupid period irregular, I’m not ovulating, the reason why I have this horrible pain every time my period comes, and my Ovary are sleeping, blahhh blahhh blahhh. What? What the heck are you talking about? I’m not playing here Doctor. My Ovary is sleeping? Are you dam serious? Is there be like that?

 My Doctor recommends me to start taking Vitamins, like folic acid, prenatal vitamins too, Iron, and some crucial Vitamins in order for planning before get pregnant, for my Immune system, for the Entire year if possible so my body will use to it. She also give me this Pills to regulate my period for 3months thinking that it might be my body will responds, and yes since I’m taking the pills I got my period right exactly on schedule every month. But again though I have period every month still I am not ovulating! What’s the problem Doctor?

Her we go schedule for Fertility exam now. The purpose is to check my Husband Sperm counts, and to check if my Hormones are accepting the sperm of my Husband. We’re inside the Fertility Hospital now early in the morning feels cold at 6:30am outside; we saw tons of Couples in different ages. There are young couples, old couples, young wife and old husband vice versa. So I said to myself it’s not just us having trouble. The Nurse took my Blood, as what I recalled I think about 5bottles tube of my blood sample that she took out from me. And the Nurse said that’s it; wait outside for you and your husband name to be called so the Doctor can talk both of you together. I said that’s it? You’re not going to do something on me or what? She replied that’s it! OKAY.

On the other wall my Husband is with another Nurse who’s assisting him on what to do! Then I came out the room, and I did not see my Husband for maybe about 15minutes I think. Finely I saw my Husband out from the stinky room! Yes smells bad unfortunately. My Husband said, I can’t do it in that room covered by nasty pornography’s, small room, very bad smells, I’m afraid to touched every bet in that room I feel like something sticking in my body nasty inside, and I can’t concentrate. Will have to talk the Doctor and I’ll do it home more comfortable for me, and will send it right away after. So because it’s getting late our appointment is 7am but the time were waiting for our Names to be called is very slow there’s tons of couples before us, and my Husband has a 9:30am Meeting to the U.S Embassy, and he has to be there because of his working a Conference report at those point. And there’s nothing I can do by then, even though I feel anger and pissed to my Husband at those time because in my firing mind, why he can’t made one? It’s simple I said to myself! And I’m thinking negative; probably he doesn’t want a Baby and his making this millions of excuse! So he has to live by 9am because it takes time to go the Embassy. And I know he has a meeting because I saw on his calendar schedule and read his emails! Yes I’m noisy type of Wife; I have to read sometimes my Husband Blackberry Phone. It’s not because of not trusting my Husband but because I Love to read his Calendar because there I found his sweet secrets he writes his surprises for me, like schedule for him to bring a Flowers for his wife, or Chocolates, Fine dining date, bring Yen-Yen a gift bag, Jewelry, or whatever. Which makes me feels so sweet and important woman from my wonderful sweet man.

But those times, yes I am so pissed and wanted to holler him! Why can’t you made one? Why can’t you wait more time? Why should I’m just the one to face the Doctor? And more Why, blahhh blahhh! 20minutes after my Husband left, the Doctor finely called my name. And first one I want to do is to slap and again holler the Doctor! My appointment is 7am! And now the time is 9:20am where is the soul of correct schedule time in there? But those are only on my mind brain; indeed I still said I’m fine Doctor, thank you gosshhhh I’m very plastic, though inside of me is firing and very hot itching to go home, so I can sent a pissed Text Messages to the inbox of my wonderful Husband.

The Doctor, said so there is no sperm sample from your Husband? My Nurse told me! I said yes Doc, he can’t made one his not comfortable because of the surroundings. The Doctor said I understand that, it’s not your Husband only experiencing the same stuffs. But we need fresh! I said right away how about tomorrow early in the morning by 6am I well bring the sample of my Husband right away? My Flat is not really that far from here, maybe 20minutes Train ride, or I’ll ride a Taxi much faster. And on my mind again I said unless if I can fly! Sarcastic! I’m still pissed feels like I wanted to tear-up the room of the Doctor, just to calmed me down, but still I acted normal that seems like I am very fine, but the fact is I am so pissed and cranky so bad.
The Doctor, said Okay! Bring it tomorrow right away on the morning. You should be here before 1hour after the sample made or ell’s it will be useless. I said yes with the Smile I well bring it 20minutes after it made promise I well run as long as I can. The Doctor, Laughed there I feel a little bet Okay. I stayed there for about an hour maybe, talking to the Doctor, his asking tons of my family background medical history, and more! While I answered him, he typed it to his Computer files I think for his record, and I’m anxious to go home take shower again, I need hot milk, and I’m started to get Hungry. But then it made more very slow because the Doctor typed very slow on the Computer Keyboard! I understand that case, I been there before I touched the stupid Computer Keyboard and learning myself at School trying to memorized every bet of the letters and characters, so I understand it. I just want to go home and I’m itching to step out the room. I feel like there are no more Couples waiting outside the room and yes I’m true because my name was the last one to be called.

So finely I got home, I shower, and have my breakfast, I feel a little calmed now and I know I’ll be totally out of pissed once I’ll be able to holler my wonderful husband even though no sense to holler coz the Doctor, said bring the sample the next early morning. Finely my wonderful Husband called me! Hun I just arrived my Office from the Embassy been there till lunch, and I’m worry you coz I know your upset on me. I response good thing you knew that! Then blahhhhhh blahhh blahhh. Then he came home we made more blahhh blahhh blahhh then I felt good and content, then next we become friend again. The next morning early as what I promise to the Doctor, I brought the sample to the Hospital. The Doctor told me he well send the result to my OBGYN Doctor after a month. I said to myself ohh my gosshhh here we go again this boring waiting game! Okay Doc, thank you a pleasant day to you.

During those time frames yes the Medication I’m taking was working that my OB prescribes. I got my period every month right on schedule. When 3months ends I stopped taking the pills, as my OB required me to stop and just wait if my body will corresponds for the calendar even though I stopped taking the pills. Will see if your Body detects that you’re not taking the pills anymore. Which is yes I still got my period after the next month it last 5months right on schedule but not as heavy as my 3months earlier. Then after 5months it stop, my period delayed again for 1month which for me good than before, and my “PCOS” still going on but this time getting lesser than before.

Healthy diet is eassential

 The Fertility results arrived. My OB. Said your husband got the good result no sign of problems, it’s only little bet of sperm counts but he can take any Vitamins to high-up his sperm counts but its good no problem on his side. The problem is in with you again blahhh blahhh blahhh and I got another medication to take every day and every day. I said I’m tired to this one! But I can’t afford to stop now, I been through a lot, I spend time and effort already, and more. I feel exhausted, I feel like I run through Marathon.

I have this menstrual cycle problem:(

December 14, I remember I have another appointment to my Doctor again. My Husband is with me and I remember it’s Snowing very hard by then. When we arrived to the Doctor’s clinic, she check my inside right away and there she said ohhh wow you’re not “PCOS” anymore, congratulation look its totally cleared-up and everything are in good shape inside. I saw my Husband eyes twinkled and smiling at me. I said are you sure Doctor? Make sure before we celebrate:). She said you’re very goofy funny I found that on you since the very first. Yes you’re “PCOS” free now. I’ll check it more by your blood test again. My next appointment will be late January because I’m going for Vacation outside the Country. We stepped out the clinic with full of surprising feeling amazed for everything that are improving, and my Husband said were getting there Darling, were close on reaching the goal, God is hearing us were almost there lets continue and keep doing everything we should to finish this Trail. I recalled my Husband surprised me with a very lucrative sweet ambiance to a fine dining to celebrate my “PCOS” free.

My last period was December of 2010 and here January my Blood did not come until for my next appointment to my OB. I told her I have no period yet for the month of January, she said will just wait, and again you’re not “PCOS” anymore your blood will arrived in more 2weeks, right now it’s sleeping. Here we go again the sleeping Ovary! What’s up with this thing! Until on my next visit my period did not come yet. It’s almost a year now since I’m gone through this Fertility issue. So my husband and I opted to have a crucial conversation with my OB about other option! Those were willing to take any artificial Science in order for us to have a baby, in order for me to get pregnant. We don’t want to waste another year waiting for the normal conceiving, and my body doesn’t cooperates us, though were doing the intercourse but still no sense because again I’m not ovulating, and even though to keep in mind just relax and have fun during the bed scene. But know what yes were enjoying every bet of it, but one thing we noticed after the bed scene here we go again, were talking does it works now? Does it swims and got through my eggs? Does my eggs letting your sperm to come inside of her to fertilized and become a baby? Ohhh my God so tiring and I can’t help it! Yes you keep saying just relax don’t be stress. But know what? The more you say is that the more I freak out.

My OB, recommend us to the IVF clinic, she made an appointment to us and she said we should be both there during the appointment. Those times we don’t have any freaking idea on what kind of procedure we could possibly get. So we are looking forward to April 17,2010 maybe about almost 3months waiting game again before we reached the schedule.

This is the end of my journey about my One year Fertility Medication my journey continued to travel but on a different protocol now, and on my next article you’ll see if I’ll get pregnant or not? So don’t miss to read the next one I’ll post it right away as soon as I’ll be done writing my next journey. I hope you’ll get fun and lesson at the same time on my journey about my Fertility obstacle.

The next journey:)
