Lauren~ Thanks. Ya, I'm calling the Dr tomorrow. I think the Dr will try to remove the blockage from your right side, don't you think? If so, I'm sure you'll be PG right after. When are you having the lap?

Gina~ Well, we havent decided exactly when yet... They say the recovery time is about a week, and I have taken so much time from work this year for dr appts, that I am using up A LOT of sick days. I would like to have it done in July, when I am out of school, and would not have to take time off of work. But, of course that may mean that we "waste" the months between now and then. I was hoping my RE would allow us to continue the IUI thing (possibly with injects??) for a few more months, when I have dominant follies on the open side... I need to call and talk to someone about it tomorrow...
We took the kids for ice cream today and I took this picture of Sid... I thought it was so funny with all of the blue ice cream all over her face that matched her shirt. http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1...cecream005.jpg

Rebecca - That is so awesome!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing those pics. Isn't it awesome to be with CT sisters!!!
Jen- Thank you so much for the info you PM'd me. Very appreciated. Regina - What a scare last night....take care of yourself girl!!! Kayla - Where are you?? Should you be like 16 dpo by now?? Lauren - My heart breaks for you. I'm sorry girl. I know you want to be pregnant now. And cancelling the IUI was probably best if your body insists on ovulating on the wrong side. But don't be surprised if you do get a surprise BFP, it can happen. Do not think of those months as wasted. When I decided to take off this month partially for financial reasons and mostly emotionally, I feel this month has truly been a gift. I feel normal. I've gotten my son and my husband back. And I'm very happy. And the thought that AF is around the corner makes me sad, and now not because it means I'm not pregnant it means I need to focus again this month. And become the crazy day counting lady again. If it comes to the point where you are "wasting" months..take those months and enjoy just "being". I almost feel if I would have gotten pregnant those "crazy hysterical months" it would not have been healthy. I don't know if I feel rejuvenated but I feel mentally "healthier" if I did get pregnant now. When I get AF next week, I will do the HSG this cycle and then do the IUI in April. And hopefully I will be ready emotionally in case it's a bust cycle. Trust me when I tell you each month that goes by I'm a month older and it does worry me alot. The last thing I ever dreamed of was I would have a baby in my late 30's, it makes me very sad but if that's what God has in store for me than I guess I have no choice but to accept it.

Good morning girls~
I am at work today, but it is a teacher workday, so I could come in a little later and wear jeans!! YAY! The little things that make us happy... I just called the RE and left a message about looking into follitism next month. He had said 2 months of Clomid/IUI, but in those 2 months I had ilttle response the first cycle, and none this cycle, I am hoping he will let me try at least once more, and maybe step it up with follitism instead of Clomid. Kayla~ Where are you? I have been thinking about you... Gina~ I hope you're feeling good today.  Rebecca~ What GREAT pictures!!! I think that is so awesome that you girls have gotten together!!! Betsy~ Thank you! I know it isn't really wasted, and I will continue to do the "right things," but maybe not quite as obsessively.  I know I am not "old" (I will be 32 next month), but I'm not 20 something anymore either. The age does worry me a bit, especially when nothing seems to be working, and I don't know how long we will be doing this... I told dh last night I wanted to do whatever it takes to get pregnant. We have never really been down the road of discussing IVF too much, and I pray I don't have to, but I think I am willing to, if needed. I can't give up on this. I do get discouraged, but I dont want to give up... at least not today...

Hi guys.
Lauren, I'm sorry that you can't do the IUI this cycle. I know how desperate you feel. I'm also glad that you don't want to give up. It's weird that I too am starting to consider more invasive fertility treatments, and I just can't believe it has come to this. I started the clomid on Friday, so I've taken it for three days now. I haven't had any real side effects so it makes me wonder if it's even doing anything.

Em~ I was the same way when I started the Clomid. I have not had any side effects. I do have some headaches around O time, but who knows if that is Clomid related, or stress related???
I was just chatting with someone on ff who goes to my RE, and she said that their office does not do injectables??? What is up with that?? Why would an office just not prescribe something that could help? I don't get it. I am still waiting to hear back from the nurse...

Lauren-I'm very sorry to hear your body does not want to cooperate. Hopefully you'll be able to get the open side to give you some follies to do the next IUI. Or may be you'll end up like Cristina....the month they cancelled her IUI she got the BFP.
EDIT: Lauren I forgot to mention that the age thing worries me too. I will be 33 on the 11th. Yikes. I thought for sure by now I'd have the BFP. But I have come to terms with it and figure that with modern meds I'm not going to stress about the age thing. Many women are waiting until later in life due to careers and other things. So we'll all be old and having our kids together right?! HA HA

Betsy - Yes, it was awesome. I had met Deby once last year. Her MIL lives near me. This was the third time we've spent time together. I'm sure there will be lots more since we're in Arbonne together! Meeting Judith for the first time was like we'd known eachother forever. There wasn't one awkward moment and we both cried when we first met (she met me in a parking lot so I wouldn't get lost going to her house). I am truly blessed to have found such great friends here on CT!!
Gina - I'm glad you're feeling better today. Lauren - I wish I had something incredible to say to make you feel better. All I can do is offer you a cyber hug. I know what you mean about age, too. I just turned 34. I thought for sure I'd have a baby by now, too. Emily - Loads of luck with the clomid this month!! I hope that little boost is just what you need. Today is cd1 for me. I'm not sure what I want to do this month. Do I temp?? Do we just try bd every other day?? I'm really contemplating cancelling the endo biopsy, too. Maybe we should just take a 'break' and see what happens?? Not temping has been awfully nice - no chart to analyze and temps to obsess over. |

I just got a call back from the nurse, and she said the RE will up my dose of Clomid to 150mg and let me do an IUI one more cycle before my lap! YAY!
That makes me happy. She said they do use injectables, but wants me to go through with the lap to check out my blockage before moving forward with that.Buffett~ I won't hold my breath for a bfp this cycle, but it would be a nice surprise. AND YES, it would be GREAT to have kids at the same time. Gina~ I am so glad you're doing better! Rebecca~ Thanks for the hug. I can feel it all the way here in NC!

Lauren~ Thank you. I'm glad the Dr is moving in the right direction for you. Yay!
Rebecca~ Thank you. Sorry this is CD1 for you. Why are you thinking about canecelling the endo biopsy? Personally if it were me, I would have it done, determine what the results are and then decide if you want to take a break. You've come this far. Keep your appt. I know it's stressful, but are you getting butterflies? Believe me, I know about the butterflies in my stomach Do what you need to for yourself. I'm here for you.

Gina - It's not butterflies. At this point, it's disgust. I'm just thoroughly disgusted with where I am. I think I'm going to cancel and enjoy life for a few months. If it doesn't happen in that time, then I can always reschedule.
