Sheesh, I've posted a lot today. If you haven't already, make sure to read the posts below by some of the other authors! Hopefully all of my posts haven't pushed too much on to the next page.

As you can see from the top, we are going private January 24th. I would really like to leave this public, since, like Stephanie said, it would be great to have people stumble upon this blog. But we do share fairly personal things, and I know I would feel more comfortable posting if the average joe couldn't read it. Plus, I'd love to see pictures of your families! Something I definitely feel more comfortable doing on a private blog.

Just to let you know, all current readers are now administrators. This should mean you can add people as authors to the blog without my approval. This also means that you can edit posts other than your own. Common sense, but please don't do it. Just to let you know, I have been adding labels to other author's posts so we can have a quick reference guide on the right. I'd rather not do this, but find it helpful to have topics listed so if there is a post I am looking for, I can quickly find it without going through the entire blog. Feel free to create and add your own labels.

Some people have asked me about this so to answer any questions, please feel free to advertise as much as possible in the next two weeks. Tell all your friends to tell their friends. I know there are more women out there struggling, and hopefully we can find them so we can all be uplifted and strengthened together.

The Next Step

By Dirk and Trish -
After my laparoscopy in June for endo, the dr. gave us 3 months to get pregnant. Well, 3 months is up, so today we met with the specialist to decide what to do next. We were given three choices (I know many of you have been there, just wanted to give some info for newbies). Option 1 is clomid and IUI (~$650/cycle), Option 2 gonadotropins (I think it was $3000-5000/cycle), Option 3 IVF (~$14,000/cycle). The dr. recommended, and we had previously discussed, option 1. The prices are just what I was told, so they probably are not standard. I just find it helpful to have some idea what I'm up against, so thought I'd include it in case it gives someone else a baseline to work from.We missed out on timing for this cycle, so we actually have 1 more try at the old fashioned method, then we start clomid next month. Apparently the chances of a procedure working are best in the first 3 months, so we're really hoping this next step is it.

My next approach

I thought I'd share a couple of things I'm going to try next. I wish I was posting this because I had been successful with one of them, but some of them state they take up to 3 mos. so I don't want to wait until then to tell you about it, in case one of you wants to try one of these things sooner, with me! These are some things I've been researching, and gathering info about, because they are less drastic than some of the medical approaches. Other things I like about them is that they are geared towards becoming healthier-so even if you don't get pregnant, you're not out anything, and you may have gained some other benefit, like eating better. Last but not least, though there is some expense involved, I think it will still be cheaper than some of the diagnostic testing and procedures. Here are some of the things I am thinking about trying... A fertility diet: I learned about this from a co-worker. She used fertility for her first child, and it didn't work th...
