Tears Walk and an Appointment

It has been a crazy last week. The Tears Walk was on the 16th, and it didn't go quite as I expected. Ken has a bought of food poisoning, so it was just my mom and I. I wish Ken would have been able to go. It was good though. My mom hadn't been before, so once we got to Cheney Stadium, I gave her a run through of how things would go for the day. We both bought extra t shirts, and sat to listen to a little history (it was actually the 10th year since Tears was founded), the founders personal story losing her son at 26 weeks, and the reading of all the names of the babies being walked for. We had a little meltdown moment when we were writing special messages to my lost babies, I think that moment definitely bought us closer. It really made me realize how much my personal loss affects other people. You think it affects you yourself the most, but a loss really affects everyone you can even remotely close to. Just made it really hit home how sad other people are as well as I am.

 Every butterfly represents a child who is being walked for or a child who has been helped by the Tears Foundation. The butterflies circled the entire stadium.

So I also had my last appointment with Dr Gramann today, since he is retiring on the 27th. The main things are that he is still very hopeful that I will become pregnant without any medical intervention, and basically it's a waiting game to see if Ken and I  conceive by the end of August. After that we need to look at Ken's side of things, and see an infertility specialist. No pressure right?
He hasn't ruled out polysystic overy syndrome yet, and he wants me to do another small blood test this Saturday (the 23rd) to see if I've ovulated this month. I guess even girls with minor PCOS may only ovulate 3-8 times a year, so one test isn't condusive. He also said that he's not 100% that my right tube is instead blocked. He said that it may have shown it was blocked from a spasm the tube had while being invaded with dye. I guess that's everything that I can remember from the top of the my head, and I guess we will see what happens in the next couple months.
