Confusion

My cycle is determined to not make getting pregnant easy for me… Here I am… confused yet again. According to online ovulation tests (which tell you when you SHOULD be ovulating) I was supposed to ovulate 11/26. These tests are based simply off of the first day of your last period and how many days [...]

Bittersweet

I ended up getting a bloodtest today. It’s really hard for me to trust that I’m truly not pregnant, since AF doesn’t come until a few days after I stop taking progesterone. I always worry that I didn’t wait long enough, that there is a chance I was pregnant, but would miscarry due to low [...]

A Dream.

So I have this… gift… if you want to call it that. I am completely aware of how crazy this is going to sound, but just hang with me while I explain. Ever since I can remember I have been able to “predict” (and I use that term loosely) when people I know are going [...]

Roadblock

So my Rx company called back today and confirmed my fear. My insurance will not cover injections. I am so upset and frustrated. I called the company before I started seeing my RE and they assured me that they cover everything except experimental things like IUI and IVF. I should have known, but it’s still [...]

What’s next

I had my appointment with my RE today to discuss my options after this cycle. He basically gave me two options. One is injections. That is the option he recommends most. It has a much higher success rate, about 20% (Clomid is about 8%). However, it is much more expensive, requires extra ultrasounds, and has [...]
