5 years ago we found out that we/i were/was infertile. that one little word – infertility – hurt more than anything in the world. to this day, infertility still hurts. there is not a day that goes by that i’m not constantly reminded how difficult it is to have children.
5 months ago we decided that after numerous failed artificial inseminations (IUI’s) that we were ready to ‘pull out the big guns’ and go through in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
5 days ago we found out that i am pre-diabetic. i was doing all my routine lab work preparing for our IVF venture next month and my 2 hour glucose tolerance test came back with results that hurt. dang you PCOS!! one more side effect of this terrible, don’t wish it on anyone, disease that i have been cursed/blessed with!!! uggg -
so now what? well, we wait. i need to get my blood sugars stable for at least 6 months before we even try the next step. i need to be healthy, not only for myself but the future child/ren that i hope to carry in the near future. it will take lots of dedication, lots of hard work, lots of prayer, possibly lots of tears, but i know that in the end its what i need to do.
having PCOS has already put so many road blocks up in my life in our infertility journey. i am not willing to let diabetes put up any more.
i am a fighter. i am going to win. i will not give up.
Sorry to hear about this hurdle! We will continue to pray for you.
