Part of me secretly thought it would never come to this. I really thought that it would happen on it's own. However, it hasn't! We had some tests ran. My thyroid is normal. And Brian's test, well, his results were "phenomenal" per the nurse who gave him his results ;)
So, we have been referred to the Nashville Fertility Center. Lots of paperwork has been completed, and now we wait to schedule our consultation. There are so many questions in our heads...how far will we go? How much money will we spend? We have decided to take it one day at a time, that's all we can do anyway, right? I'm anxious for the consultation and to see what our steps are. I feel better just knowing that there is help, and that we are asking for it. For anyone who has really had to "try" to get pregnant, you know the emotional toll it brings. After a while, that roller coaster starts to bring you down. So, we are moving forward! Here we go...

The Story of Praying
Well, you almost had me fooled Told me that I was nothing without you Oh, but after everything you've done I can thank you for ho...
Carla,
ReplyDeleteI have thought of you several times since I saw your original post on your blog a few weeks ago. Since then I have had good intentions of commenting and sending you a note. Darren & I went through the Nashville Fertility Center before we were able to have children. Yes, it was an emotional journey, and I would be willing to talk with you further if you would like concerning our experience. Our doctor was Dr. Christine Whitworth, and she was wonderful! Actually, all of her nurses and other staff members were caring and considerate as well. Dr. Whitworth was patient with our limitations, but I always remember the encouragement of having a plan. I remember having small pieces of hope, yet fearing the devastation of disappointment. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband during this course of your life. I completely understand the emotions that go along with infertility. My best advice is to make sure this obstacle brings you closer to your husband. I also understand that people can be quite inconsiderate (unintentionally of course), but nevertheless hurtful with their remarks. Know that I am praying for you and your husband, and that I am here if you need me! You don't have to go through this alone!
Love you! Diane Griffin
