</div>
ok, i have been meaning to post this for a long time now, but i have been lazy. over the last 4 years, Alec and i have been trying to become parents. we have been in and out of doctors offices, getting tests of every kind done, and they never could tell us why we weren't getting pregnant. it was really frustraring. it was the hardest thing i have ever been through and i would not wish it on my worst enemy. i wont go into too much detail, but i spent years on chlomid and femera.. both of which make me a crazy person... and then i developed complications from taking those drugs and had was lead to believe that i had uterine cancer.... then i switched doctors and he found that i had polyps in my uterus from taking those drugs.. so long story short, i had 2 surgeries and 3 failed IUI's. During all of this, i was really depressed. i cried myself to sleep on countless occasions, and i drove Alec crazy. i then decided that i wanted to adopt because the thought of going back to the dr. to become a test rat again made me physically ill. after talking to LDS services, i was even more depressed because there are hundreds of couples just waiting for a baby, and teen moms are more likely to keep their babies now a days. during all of this, i was shocked when my sweet grandma Weaver offered to pay for us to do invetro fertilization, or IVF. i didn't think i wanted to do that before because of the cost and there was no guarantee that it would work. not to mention how physically and mentally draining it is. i also was hesitant to take the money because i was afraid of letting everyone down. after Alec and i prayed about it, we decided to give it a try. i am so grateful for my sweet grandma for this opportunity that i cry just thinking about it. so we started getting re tested for everything under the sun in February. it took 3 months for all the testing to be complete. then came the fun part.. Alec had to give me 3 shots in the tummy every night. 2 were to make me grow eggs. 1 was to stop me from ovulating.<br />

(weird) we had 5 good embryos. they decided to wait until day 3 to see which ones looked best for implantation. on day 3 they all still looked good. so my dr. called me and told me to wait until day 5. thats when an embryo becomes a blastocyst. (blastocysts have a higher chance of becoming a baby.) but he also informed me that they may all die before then, so i was taking a chance. i decided to wait. (i was way stressed out) so on day 5, we went to the dr. office, and they informed us that only 2 of the 5 had made it to become a blastocyst. Then we had to decide to put 1 or 2 in. Alec insisted on putting them both in, so i agreed. then we had to wait for 2 weeks to see if we were pregnant or not... (longest 2 weeks of my life)</div>

AHHHHH! i thought i was going to have 3 babies! i went in 2 weeks later to see if the twins had heartbeats, and they didnt. i spent those 2 weeks laying awake with worry. i was so happy to be pregnant but also sad that there were no heart beats on those twins. it was a roller coaster. when i went in at 8 weeks, my dr. confirmed that i would be having one baby. i would be lying if i said i wasn't a little relieved... 3 babies would have been really challenging. so we announced our pregnancy like this on Facebook</div>

I have not updated my blog in a few years. I have honestly been waiting for something exciting to blog about. Although we have been on many vacations in the last 2 years and had a lot of fun, there is one thing that I keep waiting for... When are we ever going to become parents? We just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. We have now been trying for 3 years. I never in my wildest dreams thought that this would be my trial. After one year, I began to worry. We went to a specialist in sandy and he had us tested in many ways, but found nothing wrong. He sent us to a dr. In Layton and I was sure we would get pregnant soon. I spent a year taking chlomid and farmira. ( which makes me a crazy person) then the dr. Found that my uterine lining was thick, so I got a surgery where they scrape the lining out. I then took more medication and tried 3 artificial inseminations. None worked. I felt devistated. Why doesn't Heavenly Father answer my prayers? Does he think I would be a bad mom? I have a hard time going to church. Even though I'm happy for friends and people in my ward for their growing families, I can't help but feel like we're getting left behind. I feel like my whole life has been a big practicle joke. I have always wanted to be a mom. As a kid, I loved playing with my baby dolls and dreamed of the day I would hold my own baby in my arms. I decided not to go to college but instead attend hair school because I wanted to stay home with my children but still have some income. I even quit my job and built a salon in my home so I could be ready. My patriarticle blessing talks about my children throughout the entire blessing. Is the joke on me? Surely Heavenly Father knows that this trial is possibly the worst thing that I could have ever imagined happening to me. How am I supposed to keep the faith? It feels at times like having faith and hope only makes my pain worse when each month my dreams and hopes are shattered and my heart breaks in two. After years of disappointment and tears, we decided to put it all behind us and went to talk about adoption. I told my parents that I would no longer try to conceive my own baby and that we wanted to adopt. They talked to my grandma and she wanted to give us the money to try invetro. So that's where I am at now.... More testing, more hormones, more surgery... I honestly don't know how much more I can take. I switched back to the sandy doctor because he is a much better doctor than the one I was seeing. He has already been more help to me than the other. Even though I know there is a chance the invetro could work, I won't let myself get to excited or hopeful because I know that if it doesn't work, I'm going to be officially broken. This is the last chance for my dream to become a reality and if it doesn't work, I am afraid I may go into a depression that will never go away. I don't expect anyone who hasn't gone through this to understand my pain, but just in case you were wondering how I am doing, here is a sliver of what goes through my mind every day. I know that I can adopt and be a mother in that way, but not having the option to bear my own children has been the single most hard thing I have ever been through. I hope I am learning what Heavenly Father wants me to learn from all this, cause I can't see any good that's come of it. All I know is that I have absolutely no control over any of it. I have been betrayed by my own body despite having taken such good care of it all my life. Anyways, I just read this and realized that I sound like such a Debby downer. I do know that I am blessed in so many ways. I have an amazing husband and friends and family. I love the gospel and I know for certain that Heavenly Father is aware of my trials and tears. There have been many times when I'm feeling really down that a friend who can relate has suddenly texted or called me. Those are the little things that help comfort me when I need it most. I have a few clients that have been through this very thing and they cry with me when I open up to them about how I feel. I have an amazing family that even though they can't relate to how I feel, are there to hug me when I need it most. Even though I have no idea how this story will turn out, I have hope that I will make it through and can still be happy. I'm trying to remember that my dreams and gods plan are not the same.morgan casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833486897742466663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836446682119321970.post-44615657149001522722012-02-12T20:36:00.000-08:002012-02-12T21:01:44.709-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ07bgssqMOda6yQfFiLcSkGAoqq4jYc3NzFD6RQNfAkvunAUIhXLjub-3Dwsk-CaL3h9PUzpVryHHtCpwDCIcnpzPcchRR6qtgVL5UeZ2mJTgfl7raqK27b6C1MVvUUtVbr1S4YtDsbs/s1600/P2121286.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ07bgssqMOda6yQfFiLcSkGAoqq4jYc3NzFD6RQNfAkvunAUIhXLjub-3Dwsk-CaL3h9PUzpVryHHtCpwDCIcnpzPcchRR6qtgVL5UeZ2mJTgfl7raqK27b6C1MVvUUtVbr1S4YtDsbs/s320/P2121286.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708480427891479090" /></a>our cute friends at our house for dinner!!!

now when im not busy, i get to do what ever i want!!! i almost feel like i have been released from prison!! lol!! and the best part is that i get to make money for myself, instead of for someone else!!!

We bought a house last september! i love it so much! we have not gone anywhere exciting.. i work entirely too much to do anything fun.. and my work is extremely anal about giving anyone time off... its sad that im actually afraid to ask for a day off... it sucks. anyways... my birthday was august 19th so i took that weekend off. it was the first weekend i have had off this entire year!!!! we went to park city to shop and then we went to lava hot springs for the weekend. it was a lot of fun! i got a lot of cute clothes from park city! i love shopping! Alec is in boston for the week for work.. so this morning we woke up early and went to breakfast before i took him to the airport. im sad. :( its labor day today and i have done absolutely nothing besides clean my house, do laundry, and talk to my cat. i tried to hang some cute shelves in my house today but i ended up just making some huge holes in the wall... it was so frustrating... hopefully when alec gets home he can help me cause i clearly dont know what im doing!!!morgan casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833486897742466663noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836446682119321970.post-61765362640852406742010-01-25T21:25:00.000-08:002010-01-25T21:30:26.945-08:00We have a Blog????My name is Morgan Casper. I am attempting to create a blog. I'm not sure how exciting it will be. i don't get on the internet very often. but, non the less.. here we go. My husbands name is Alec Casper. We met on a blind date in april of 2008. we were married in March 2009 in the Logan temple! I cant believe we have been married for almost a year already! This year has been a great one! We bought a house in September in layton, and Alec started school. He has a long road ahead, but we are hoping it will be worth it in the end! thats all for now. hopefully there will be more to write in the future!morgan casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833486897742466663noreply@blogger.com2
