SIGH

Hello guys! So I asked my doc what she thought about just starting out with clomid and I kinda got some so-so news. She stated she didn't recommend it since the success rate with just clomid is not substantially higher, but if I wanted we could do 2 cycles then move on to IUI(if those 2 cylces don't work). I wanted to start out with clomid because well let's be honest....IT"S CHEAPER(so we thought)!! But I have to come in for all the ultrasounds and bloodwork(that are not covered by insurance) that we might as well just go straight in for IUI. Plus with our ages and being "unexplained infertility" our chances of getting pregnant with clomid and IUI, looks pretty good. So looks like if God doesn't bless us this cycle(I'm in day 11) with a beautiful baby, He will next month when we go in for IUI!! I KNOW HE WILL BLESS US BEFORE THE YEAR IS OVER!!

Do you tell?

Have you told anyone about your struggle with getting pregnant? Do your parents know? What about siblings, friends, or co workers? I finally told my mother the other day that we are currently seeing a reproductive specialist and going in for treatment next month. She was excited and had alot of questions at the same time. She has informed me that she is REALLY ready for a grandchild lol. Even if they're adopted, which totally made me cry! So talk to someone besides your husband/partner, you have more support than you think. And sometimes it's good not to stress the hubby out so much.

Another song that I love and thought you would too!

Such a beautiful song and so true!!! Brought tears to my eyes.....

First

This is my first post on my blog.  I'm current in day 6 of Aunt Flow.  Can someone tell me why it's called Aunt Flow? I mean seriously, why can't we just call it a menstrual cycle? We always try to come up with cute little names to make things acceptable for society.  CALL IT WHAT IT IS! lol Aunt Flow sounds like that aunt you go visit that has milk and warm cookies ready when you get there, not this mean thing that shuts down your lifestyle once a month! Anywho, currently we are TTC naturally, while we wait for the hubby to quite smoking.  YES I know smoking is bad and that's why he's trying to quit.  Also our Doc told him to do so and usually couples are able to concieve naturally within 2-3 months if quitting! 0_0  Does anyone know of anyone that this worked for?  Also anyone have any tips on quitting the cancer sticks? Our nest step, if that doesn't work, will be Clomid with an I.U.I.  I'm a little nervous about this, but hey anything to see that POSITIVE on the stick and no more Aunt Flow.....although I would like some milk and cookies right now :-)!
