Welcome ICLW'ers!
I started this blog because I needed an out. An out from the monthly disappointments of not being pregnant. I don't have any real life friends who are going through infertility. They are all fine and dandy with getting pregnant within months of trying. This blog has been a blessing. It has given me a bond with amazing ladies who understand this roller coaster ride of infertility. They are forgiving and funny. And they give me hope when I feel I don't have any left in me.
This Thursday is my first IVF consult with an RE. I am excited and hopeful. We have done 4 IUIs, 1 with Clomid with my regular OB/GYN. All unsuccessful so we are moving on to IVF. This month while we wait, I have rekindled my relationship with running. Endorphins, how I missed you so. I've been eating healthier and although I haven't weighed myself yet I am already reaping the benefits. I have more energy. I just feel better.
I am still infertile so of course we are still trying but with less pressure. No temping and less OPK testing. I know I said I would give up the OPK but I just couldn't. I haven't been good about it though because I've been testing periodically so I'm not really sure where I am in this cycle. And just like before we started IUI, I am hoping that this is the "BFP before IVF" cycle but if it's not it's ok. I'll be ok because we have a plan. I hope you'll join me as this plan unfolds because things always go according to plan right? Right.
I have a probable IVF consult tomorrow after 3 failed IUI's. We will have to compare notes! Good luck at your appt.
