So AF showed up over the weekend... booooo!! Kind of figured it would. So I am on to yet another month of TTC. It sucks!
I'm going to do something a little different this month though. Usually I take Clomid on CD 5-9. I read somewhere that if you take it CD 5-9 you get better "quantity" of eggs. If you take it CD 3-7 you are suppose to get better "quality" eggs. Considering that I already ovulate on my own, I don't really need quantity, I need quality. So I am going to take it CD 3-7 this month. I did a bit of research and it said in several places that women have actually had more success taking it CD 3-7 then CD5-9... so hopefully I will be successful as well.
I also have a doctor's appointment next Wednesday to talk about our next option... IUI. So we shall see if maybe my next cycle (September) I can get that done. It's the cheapest of the fertility treatments. It will probably cost somewhere between 400 and 500 dollars... I hope.
Anyways, that's the update on me right now. Keep praying everyone... don't give up on us!

Just out of curiosity (and I'm sure you've been asked this before, but I'm honestly just curious), have you ever read anything by Toni Weschler? If not, I would highly recommend her... (and I'll shut up now...I'm sure you're ready to throw things at people who try to give you un-solicited advice...)
Not at all! No worries! And I haven't read anything other then a few excerpts on the internet. The ladies on my forum swear by her book. I've never really given much thought to getting it myself... not sure why actually! I guess because I already feel like I know everything there is to know about my fertility!! Of course this is probably not true... but I feel like it!
Good luck on your new attempts
I've been reading your blog for a few months now. I'm in the same sort of situation and can understand how you're feeling. Hang in there Shannon. I just know that you'll get your much-longed-for child.
Hi CC,
Just curious...how did you come across my blog?
I am glad that there are people out there who are reading! I hope that you and others will find some sort of comfort in knowing that you are not the only one going through the pain of infertility.
May I ask what your situation is? Of course I understand if it is personal!
May God bless you as you go through your struggles,
Shannon
Thank you.
I believe that I found your blog through something I typed in Google and I bookmarked it because it gave me strength to read how much you have.
My situation is very similar to yours in the way that I've also been trying for a long time - 2.5 years consistently and about 1 year before that off and on.
It's only recently that we've been thinking of using other fertility methods.
God bless!
