double digits

I only have 97 days to go! I can not believe it.

I spent the entire day yesterday with my aunt cleaning out our storage room, to get ready for the baby. I have to do some major moving around of stuff in our house to make room for her. Right now the room that will be her room is the "catch all" room of the house, so we were making room to move things. Now I can start on the rest of the house. I plan on taking before and after pictures of Avery and her room to see the transforming.

Also welcome ICLWers, I have done this while TTCing but not while pregnant, I wanted to get back into the swing of reading blogs and commenting and even posting on my own blog... Here is my story for those who are new.

I had my left ovary removed when I was 16 due to a tumor. I had to be on meds ever snce to keep the cysts away that cause the tumors. Since then I have had 5 cysts reappear but resolve themselves thank goodness. While TTCing for #1 we charted and were given 6 months on our own to have a baby, then we were to move to meds. I go pregnant and found out 1 weeks before we were to go for our first consultation with the RE. When my daughter was 18 months we decided to try for #2, which turned out not to be as successful, after 6 months the DR said it was time for intervention (if I am off my meds too long it can the cysts to appear and start to eat my only ovary) during the initial testing I found out I had a luteal phase defect along with low progesterone, my only ovary was giving up on us, it had worked too hard by itself for too long, it needed some help. After doing 4 rounds of clomid with HCG boosters and trigger shots, we were still not pregnant. We had DH tested and he came back perfect (figures) and I got my HSG done, we found out my only tube was shaped like a L and it is suppost to be shaped like a J, they were not too concerned about it but said after trying the follistim we would maybe have a LAP done on the tube. Which scred me so much because I only have one tube.

We got our BFP on our first round of follistim, with trigger and HCG booster shots and I supplemented with progestrone until I was 12 weeks along.

I feel so blessed to have our second daughter on the way. Secondary Infertility has changed my life forever, conceiving is a miracle that not all people have just handed to them. Some have to work for it and those who have to work for it truly appreciate their children. Secondary infertility also made me realize how lucky we were to get Avery without problems, she is also our miracle.

If anyone has any questions about our journey please feel free to ask.
