Well. It is. Boring!
Last cycle was a medicated IUI and a complete bust. No double line, just a great chart and lots of hope.
Then I had a lil' breakdown. Nothing dramatic, nothing worth writing home about, just a 'submission' of sorts. Acceptance of what is, and what is not. A promise to keep trying, a promise to not lose myself in the process.
So my doctor wants to do a little checking before we start another round of meds. I've got an ultrasound booked for tomorrow to check for cysts and make sure we can safely continue this month. I was on birth control for about a week. I haven't been temping or bothering with even thinking about ttc much, until this morning, when I finally took my temp again. If we are not doing the meds then David and I will be going au natural again and I must need to know when I ovulate, so I can take the lovely progesterone. No temping after ovulation, however. No stopping the progesterone early, and no testing until two weeks. I'm never good at that last one.

- My husband, David, and I had been trying to have a baby since November of 2007. After 'letting things happen', we got the amazing news that we were pregnant in June of 2008. Sadly, that pregnancy ended at 9 weeks with a natural miscarriage. After two more chemical pregnancies, we turned to fertility treatments in 2009. That decision was a disaster, with lousy medical care and poor monitoring. In December of 2009, we made the huge decision to move onto IVF. Things fell into place like magic and we began treatment on January 15, 2010. After a blighted ovum in March, we did a successful FET in June, only to endure another blighted ovum in July. We kept up and underwent another IVF in September/October of 2010 with the arrival of our son, Brogan in July of 2011! After our lovely success (finally) we decided to undertake yet another IVF treatment and hope for a sibling for our little red headed boy. Well... so far it's worked. Our story continues below!
I am sorry about your mini breakdown. At least it was not a full-on, crying for weeks under your covers breakdown. It does sound like your breakdown brought you some sense of calm...I think you have an excellent plan for this month. I am right behind you on CD 1 (yuck) so we can endure this together.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the update. =) Keep on keeping on my dear. You'll get there.
ReplyDeleteIt was so good to hear from you ... you have been in my thoughts. I am sorry about your last cycle. I can totally understand breaking down. IF is so, so hard to deal with.
ReplyDeleteI hope that things go well this cycle, be it medicated or natural and that you are able to have some peace and happiness.
Thanks for the update. A mini-break-down...ugh. I hate those. Hang in there!
