Another year bites the dust
2011 was a fairly uneventful year in my world of baby-making. No major tests were had, no pregnancies were had, no major meltdowns or anything. The Fertilaid is working pretty well as far as keeping my cycles somewhat regular so long as I take those three giant, horse-pills each day. I've had a couple cycles that I would label "WTF??" but have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of 35-40 day cycles. I'm ASSuming that I've been ovulating during those cycles as I have the typical post-ovulation symptoms and I've been back to charting my temps for the last few months. Nonetheless, the Mister and I have talked and it looks like sometime in the Spring of 2012 we will be visiting a reproductive endocrinologist, whether or not we have the money for it (we will not, lol). I still have my fingers crossed for some sort of natural, out-of-this-world miracle but I'm preparing myself to dive back into the world of fertility pharmaceuticals. We're hoping I just need a boat-load of drugs and that it will happen quickly thereafter. We'll see.

Where have you been?
Since I haven't posted here in a long time I thought I'd type a quick update.
I wasn't kidding when I said the Mister and I were taking a year off of medical intervention. After finishing clomid, two kidney surgeries, a sperm analysis and an HSG last year, I am soooo over doctors and hospitals. Also over the expenses associated with those. I need a year free of medical headaches.
In the meantime I'm still taking the Fertilaid and hoping for the best. It worked, then it didn't for a while last year, then I had two totally normal cycles this year and 1 sort of normal cycle. How sweet would it be if I got pregnant without doctor's having to poke and prod me beforehand?
If nothing happens this year, we've talked about seeing and RE down at the university hospital. I REFUSE to see anyone else at my OBGYN's office about this anymore. They're obviously done with me so I'm done with them. At least on the infertility side of things.
I've still had some "moments" this year where I've been frustrated or felt hopeless about things ever working out right, but for the most part it's been pretty damn relaxing. Of course I also turned another year older so there's always that impending thought... But I still have quite a few good years left on these ovaries before they become senior citizens.
