All About Me :)

My photo
I was born in Sitka, Alaska in 1983. My parents divorced when I was 5, and I spent my childhood and teens moving back and forth between parents. So, I grew up in Anchorage, Sitka, and Juneau. But, I call Sitka home. I graduated in 2000. I should have gone to college - but didn't. I met my husband in 2002, let him marry me in 2003 :), and had a daughter with him in 2004. She is the pure JOY in our lives. My husband is AD in the United States Coast Guard. This means that life is never boring, and if it is- hey! we get to move every 3 or 4 years. He is currently a DC (Damage Controlman) 2nd class - working on making 1st class. You can also find me on myspace.com/alaskanprincess

Monday, Monday..

**Beth** - I've emailed you back, your email got stuck in my junk folder! :(



I've made the choice to go ahead and forge on with making an appt. to have my HST done with Dr. Blackwood in Cleveland. And then we'll proceed on to Memphis. Beth was kind enough to email me back and inform me that the wait for the Clinic in Memphis can be quite long.
So, I'm going to get the ball rolling.
I just can't see myself being alright with having not pursued this. I started thinking about the fact that we'll most likely be in Cordova until Ryleigh starts 1st grade. And all that time, I will be away from knowledgeable people who are able to help me figure out what's going on with me, at least.
Of course it wouldn't hurt my feelers to leave here with a healthy pregnancy, but with the time constraint, I'm honestly just hoping for someone to be able to tell me WHY I have frequent miscarriages. At least then, if I left with knowing what the issue was. I could opt to take the ferry from Cordova to Anchorage (there are fert spec's there) *on my own dime* to see a specialist, and have my "issues" in hand, and maybe find someone to take my case up there.
Maybe not though, maybe once we know the problem of whatever is going on, DH and I will make the decision to adopt.

Point is, I can' make an informed decision.... until I have ALL the information - which, I don't right now.

You do know it's Sunday, right, sleeping beauty?

I'm glad you're making the decision you feel is right, Roni. I know you wouldn't be happy knowing that you didn't pursue this.

(((hugs))) You know I'm here for ya every step of the way!

I'm so glad you are going to pursue this. I've been praying for you. I know the anxiety of not knowing what is going on - only with infertility though and not frequent miscarriages. I hate that you have to deal with this. Huge hugs to you.
