well i'm sorry
showed up for you mrs. bear
i know it's hard to keep it as a personal versus technical experience when you have to deal with all of this other stuff. i have recently been reading the book "taking charge of your fertility" and something it mentioned about "babymaking" v "making love" is that it can be more freeing to think that intercourse only needs to be timed during your most fertile time and every other time is just for the pleasure or intimacy of being with your spouse. that was helpful to me to think of it from that perspective.
thanks for the suggestions about the insurance too. i will definitely look into it, but probably not until after Christmas at this point. we just got back from visiting dh's family in SC, and tomorrow we head down to Orlando to spend Christmas Eve with my family. it's been crazy busy of course!
i'm glad to hear you don't have a cyst this time and can get right back to trying again
Merry Christmas Mrs. Bear!
i hope you have a lovely Christmas and that we both have a wonderful new year with big bfp's!
I'm expecting to ovulate either the 30th or 31st (I think), so i'm hoping we'll get a New Year's surprise! I'm not positive I've been ovulating or that my hormones are all level. i've felt like something is "off" with me hormonally for a couple of years now, but i haven't been able to get my ob/gyn to do the bloodwork. i need to get a new doctor tho, since we moved, so i'm hoping that whoever the new doc will be will listen. anyway, i tried taking soy isoflavones last month, which is a natural herb that acts like clomid. i figured it couldn't hurt me to try it, and i felt that i was more in "balance" all last month, so i'm trying it again this month. i had a much clearer (is that a word??)thermal shift last cycle compared to previous cycles. plus, a couple cycles ago i had this weird thing going on with my opk's where i had like 5 days of positive opk's... last cycle it was 3 days even with the soy, so it makes me think i've got something going on...possibly pcos. i don't know and i know it's not good to self-diagnose...i just feel like something's not as it should be. anyway, i definitely felt ovulation with the soy last cycle, and i rarely (if ever) feel it normally, so i feel like the soy isn't hurting anything at this point. plus, it helps with progesterone, which i was worried was low with not having a good thermal shift before. ehhh, sorry i'm babbling away now. .... talk to you later sweetie!
