Long time no post

Geez, for awhile there I forgot my password and with school, work and kids, I just didn't have time to come back on here. Plus this past week were mid terms and I'd been working on that.

But here I am now.

So here's an update.

Last month I experienced a chemical pregnancy as I posted before. Hubby got tested and come to find out he has a low sperm count. In the past he had a vasectomy, but it failed, I got pregnant and miscarried that one, who would've thought that we'd want another after all that?

So we went in for an artificial insemination with his good remaining sperm. We actually had to do this with my son since I miscarried then and after that couldn't get pregnant for a whole year. I was diagnosed with secondary infertility.

Well, when we went in for the procedure, dr says I have a tilted cervix and it's facing towards my back, which can explain the miscarriages and inability to conceive easily.

Today is 10dpo (days past ovulation) for me and I'm spotting like I typically do 3-4 days before I start my period. I'm so sad.

Tomorrow I'll be calling my dr and see what else we can do. We're considering going back on Clomid (I took this when I got pg with my son 8 years ago) to increase our chances.

Clomid forces you to ovulate, and although I am ovulating, with his low sperm count, if I had two eggs, I could possibly increase my chances of getting one of them fertilized (or two). We discussed with each other (hubby and I that we could end up with two instead of one and that I'd actually have to take time off from school at that point. He was fine with that and even said he'll help out just as he did when we had the other kids. And he did. He actually got up every night even though he gets up at 4 am to get ready for work, he really did it and I was thankful for that.

So you're probably thinking that maybe with school, my at home business and 3 other kids maybe I have too much going on. Too much stress? Possibly, but I've been taking it easy. I have 3 classes, two online. So that has helped with me not having to travel so frequently to school since it is about 30 minutes with NO traffic way.

The kids? Not so different than any other time in my life really. I mean, my oldest just turned 15 and my youngest just turned 6. When I had my son my olderst was already 7. Business ahs been slow so I'm not stressing over that since it leaves more time for family and school.

And I'm sure you're thinking this one, why do you want another when you already have 3?

Well, I've always wanted a big family. It's just in me. I thought after my youngest was born I was through. But that feeling came back in the last 2 years and I have been fighting it off. Of course, now that we're trying, it's proving to be difficult.

We'll see how it goes though.
