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.
