So we went to see a specialist on Thursday. He says he can see some very treatable reasons for our inability to conceive and none of them have to do with my weight (although losing weight is still a goal and needs to be done). So, they gave me an HCG shot yesterday and Quinn gave me one today at lunch. This is where the blog gets really personal, so if you don't want to imagine Quinn and I having marital relations, stop reading. :)
We are going in for a post-coital test in the morning, which means we have to get up early and have sex. Oh, how rough. ;) Then we go in for some poking and prodding and Lord knows how many dollars! Immediately after the appointment we are going to visit my friend Tiffany in Texas. We'll watch the OU game at her house, then go and watch her step-son's football game in the evening. Then on Sunday we're headed to the Vikings-Cowboys game. So, it'll be a football full weekend. Each night we'll have to have sex to try to get pregnant, but I think we'll manage just fine. We're staying at a hotel, so there won't be any awkwardness.
I have to go back in on Tuesday for additional bloodwork. They're pretty sure I have a condition called PCOS, which is found in 10% of women. There are things that can be done. So hopefully I'll be a mom by this time next year. For the first time in a while I am filled with hope. I can see a future and my place in it. I love this feeling.
