I wanted to write about my experience with raising my triplets girls. They were born March 20, 1985, where has the time gone? As you can figure out by their birthday, they are 23 years old now.
I did start writing "stuff" down, now I want to transfer it to this. Because of the how much time has elapsed the paper is starting to fade and before it fades completely and the words won't be legible I want my girls to read about this experience. I have never sat down and told them so this is going to interesting.
I had a wonderful GYN doctor who just happened to be a fertility specialist. I had a hard to getting pregnant. After trying taking my temperature and figuring out when I was ovulating then would try . . . that was like, ok time! Oh yeah that was romantic LOL. Anyways, that went on for months and nothing was happening. My doctor said, he wanted to check if I was ovulating. Whoa, what that entailed . . . he had to take a "snip" of my uterus, hmmm WHAT? Yes, a SNIP, ok laying there on the exam table and seeing the tray of "goodies" I almost passed out. There on the tray was a HUGE needle. Of course I asked was that needle going where I think it is going? Yes, doctor said, I need to numb the area of your uterus where I need to "snip". OHHHH the joy! Let me tell you . . . that hurt, but NOT like when he actually took the snip. OMG, my uterus contracted when he did that, needless to say . . . there were a few choice words I said!
When the results came back, it was confirmed that I wasn't ovulating. So now what? Well, doctor said I could take a fertility drug called Clomid. With all fertility drugs there is a chance for multiples. But with the low dose of Clomid he would put me on he didn't think I would. He said he had/has many patients who are/were on this dose and only had one. OK . .. I said, lets try it. Well the first month I was on nothing. But the second month, BINGO. Needless to say we all were happy. I went in and had a sonogram to see if there were multiples, and no, just one. WHEW.
To be continued . . .
