Random Crazy Day

I'm having a crazy random day. Well, so far random week. My mind is going a million thoughts a minute! I just want to scream and make it all slow down. I'm worried about my Mom & Dad and their declining health, plus there is way too much drama in my family currently, work is crazy, John's football coaching is in full swing, Jack starts preschool in two weeks and on top of all of that my mind keeps wondering to the fact that I want a second baby so badly and I want to be able to stay home more! Plus we are getting closer and closer to Autumn -my very favorite season - and there are so many more things I'd rather be doing! Okay, I'm forcing myself to take a breath and slow down. One thing at a time. I keep praying that somehow God will make it possible for me to have more time at home with Jack and that the Glucophage will work again and maybe baby #2 will be on the way soon. Will see. I've been thinking to myself this week that I think I might go to Confession and then spend some time at Adoration. I think my soul could use some calming. Still struggling with the church thing. Hopefully John and I can work through that soon and get involved at a parish. I think that would help tons, but for some reason I'm dragging my feet. I just can't find a place that feels like home to me. I know that isn't a good reason.
On a lighter note, I now have my cousin's 7 year old daughter one night a week now! Jack and I pick her up from school and then she stays with us until the evening. It is awesome. Jack talks her ear off all the way home and they sing songs! Then they play while I cook dinner. Then after dinner we go to the park. It is so much fun. Jack enjoys the playmate too! It all makes me feel homey and makes me want a brother or sister all the more for Jack! It's wonderful to hear them run through the house laughing and playing! I love every minute of it!!!

Thanks for you sweet comment on my blog!

I am also on Glucophage (or Metformin, which I think is the generic name for it). How long were you on it before you conceived? I've only been on it since late June, and only raised my dose to 1000 mg in mid July. So it hasn't been that long I guess (unless you tell me you conceived after a couple weeks!). Well, I love hearing success stories like yours. So hopefully you'll have success again soon!!

You're very welcome! Your story really touched my heart. I can remember feeling much the same way that you describe in your blog.

I started it in August 2004 and was pregnant by December 2004 but my progestrone once again showed low and I was on progestrone until 12 weeks. I held my breath up to week 12. I forget what the doesage was then. I think I remember taking two pills at a time. This time around my doctor put me on a four step ramp up. One pill for one week, two pills the second week, three pills the third week and then finally up to four pills the forth week and going forward. I'll have to look to see what the total mg is. I'm horrible about remembering those details. Plus I'm trying to do the PCOS diet this time around, but I love foods that are bad for me and have horrible will power. I just keep praying that God steps in and helps give me strength.
