On another note, thank god I talked to the dr about my progesterone, cause the label says once daily by mouth…. And it supposed to be vaginal… 💀that would have been a disaster!

We are so blessed to have such a smart, kind, healthy, beautiful daughter.

But it’s okay to want more.

It’s okay to be sad each month when those two pink lines do not show up on a test.

It’s okay to feel like a piece is missing from our family.

It’s okay to buy baby items to add to our “someday” storage tote.

It’s okay to feel happy for others, but sad for yourself.

It’s okay for our daughter to not understand why she doesn’t have a brother/sister and others do.

It’s okay for us to want more.

So after 18 months and 3 rounds of clomid, it finally happened! I’m pregnant (the same month we got engaged)!

I’m still in shock but we’re beyond excited. I have my first antenatal appointment next week. I still just can’t believe it!

Thank you to everyone who has helped me through this journey. I appreciate it more than you know!

Another pregnancy announcement from someone else we know. Baby #2 for them, she announced at like 9 weeks, and since my sister-in-law is attached at the hip to this person, I'm sure she'll be the next one in the family to get pregnant. It was so easy for them the first time - she gloated about it in front of me - and their firstborns are literally a day apart because they both got pregnant at the same time.

Crazy how things seem to work out for everyone else - even when they cant financially support a child.

Yet here my husband and I are paying $400 a visit to see a fertility specialist - not even going through expensive treatment yet, just the cheapest option of Clomid - and we still cant fucking have a baby.

We do everything by the book, the way we are told: trying to eat better, exercise, take the supplements, bd every other day. And even when I was pregnant we waited to announce until 12 weeks...and it didn't matter because the baby's heart stopped at 9.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

Why the fuck is this my path?

Doctor told us when to bd this cycle since I'm on Clomid so last night was taken care of. Got a peak opk this morning but we were told to bd every other day starting day 11. Today is cd14. I'm currently having really powerful ovulation pain, just like last time I was on Clomid.

Tomorrow morning I'm off and you better believe I'm waking hubby up early before he goes in to work.

Come on, healthy October baby!

Things are going to get better. They have to, don't they? At least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself. I need positive affirmations for everything that I'm dealing with. Please let this be the month. Please let this happen for us. We want this so bad.

You probably guessed it...

Number 5 was unsuccessful. We are heartbroken, but in a horrible sense, pretty used to this feeling. It sucks to admit that. But it’s true.

Our RE thinks it’s pretty likely that I have endometriosis. Of course the only conclusive way to find out is laparoscopy, which he doesn’t recommend until after we’re done trying due to risks of surgical damage. He also thinks that other options like COH shots and minimal stim IUI will likely be unsuccessful (and I honestly agree with him. If FIVE IUI’s didn’t work with stellar scans/labs/response to meds, why would those?)... He recommends going for the big guns: IVF. We have a much stronger shot of getting pregnant. It’s just a massive price tag that I can’t even fathom right now.

For now, we are taking a break to enjoy some time off from ovulation tests, doctors appointments, blood draws, scans... We know all of that is in our future anyway, since we’ll be continuing with IVF. So at this time, we’re going to enjoy quality time with our families for the holidays and relax. We’ll start again sometime in the new year.
