This weekend I came to AZ to watch my sister have her first baby! What a miracle! It's weird how much I have forgotten about having a new born...been almost 3 years now. Just straight from heaven! I always feel happy when people get pregnant or have a baby. I wish it didn't remind me how much I want that!! Happy for them, sad for me. It seems like my family is trying to be sensitive....like overly sensitive about the fertility thing when I would actually rather talk about it and be open about what is going on but I like them to ask and not just dance around it. I'm so complicated:) I'm afraid this blog has become my way to vent, sorry but you might hear from me lots.... I thought watching my sister be in labor for 24 hours would help me not be so baby hungry but it was weird during her labor I wanted to feel all of it and go through that because I know every push, pain, is worth it cause look whatcha get...Your own piece of Heaven:)

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...
