Waiting for this never ending cycle to end, then it is on

Hi ladies - I've been ttc for almost 2 years now and I can not deny, it has made me bitter. I'm starting to get the "left behind" feeling when I'm on the other threads.

My history: I am 34, engaged, ttc #1. 2 mmcs. My last due date was supposed to be December 3, 2012. I really thought I'd be pregnant again by now, but in the depression, my weight has gone even higher than it was and I am on a seemingly never ending cycle. I think it is cd50 or something today! I was expecting af yesterday and now I'm realizing what I had hoped was a weak ovulation was probably just the fact that I started sleeping with the heater on in the house.

I had a consultation appointment with a fertility doc a few weeks ago. When cd1 comes I am supposed to schedule an HSG with my OBGYN and a saline sonogram with him. I am going to have to pay out of pocket for all his services. That is another sad story. I'm not rich and have already had to dish out all my $ for blood tests, the d&c in May and I'm not really sure how I will afford this, but my plan for 2013 is to do the HSG and Saline Sonogram soon, more blood tests, SA for OH, some blood tests for him, a round of monitoring follicles and then then up to 2 rounds of iui. Expensive right? Is anyone on here in my position? US citizen paying out the ass for this misery?

I am not even excited to call the doc and ask for pills to bring on af, cause I don't have the cash on hand to really dive in yet. I am letting mother nature help me procrastinate.....

I have had low progesterone in the past. I took clomid the last three cycles and as far as I can tell, it didn't help the situation. I also had high TSH and am on thyroid meds for that now. The doc has prescribed femara for me when a new cycle starts.

Is anyone in roughly the same boat? Do you have a sense of humour and a tolerance for tragedy? I guess at this point, we had better. <3
 
If we can't laugh about it then we WILL go crazy so I'm glad to see your sense of humor :) I am not in the exact same shoes at you, as I have never even seen two pink lines, but I can certainly relate to your journey and your feelings. It's such a hard journey and unless you've been through it, you just don't get it. And yes, it IS expensive and it really sucks that most insurance plans don't cover this stuff. It's beyond frustrating! The good news is that it sounds like you're on the right path - all you can do is test to see what you can find out about what's going on in your body and try treatment. I think that's all any of us are doing. I hope that you're feeling better today :)
 
Hey! I too am waiting for AF to show. I'm approaching the 3 month mark and still no sign of her return. I came off BCP in the beginning of October so I'm hoping I'll eventually regulate. It's so frustrating though! You just want your period so that you can continue TTC! Wishing you lots of luck!
 
Hi kim and ladybuggs, af came and was not joking around. It is cd5 and I'm still experiencing panty murder. I have an hsg scheduled for Friday.
