We've got one little one, 20 months old, and I am in the same boat. I am going in for more poking and prodding after the new year. I don't want to go through it all again, but also don't want my daughter to be an only child. Good luck with your journey... and I hope "crazy clomid lady" (as my husband calls it...) doesn't come and visit at your house!

I got pregnant in 2000 but had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. It is unlikely that I will get pregnant again, but I'm not giving up. I always love it when people say, "So when are you going to have some kids?" as if it is some concious decision on my part to not have kids. I don't think it ever occurs to them that there may be a reason that I don't have any children after being married for 10 years that is beyond my control. <abbr><em>Melissas last blog post..<a href="http://melissawphotos.blogspot.com/2008/12/why-does-cold-flu-season-coincide-with.html" rel="nofollow">Why Does the Cold & Flu Season Coincide with the Holiday Season?</a></em></abbr> I have PCOS which causes infertility (along with a million other nasty symptoms such as obesity, heart disease, stroke, hair growth in places you don’t want hair to grow and hair loss from the top of your head, diabetes, abdominal pain, headaches, and a whole laundry list of other symptoms).

It will be 5 years in Oct for me. No baby. I'm past the point of being sick of the poking and pill poping. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

WOW! I know that God made me miss that week of reading your posts because I would have been over the edge. The day you posted this would have been exactly one week after my first child's 1st birthday. But sadly, that baby went to Heaven before I could meet him/her. It was 18 months of infertility before I finally got that + on the Dollar Tree test (yes, I should have also bought stock in them), and at my first u/s I found out that the heart had stopped 2 weeks before. She/He was a ClomAd baby, the 3rd cycle. My ob/gyn had read the 21day progesterone level and referred me to the specialist..."it doesn't look like this is going to be your month again." It was, but it was very short lived celebration. It's been 26 more months of Dollar Tree - tests. We finally moved on to the specialist just for him to say, "You work on drugs, lets give you more so that you can be even better/crazier. Your O.B. on the other hand, he doesn't work so well." Will the O.B. torture himself with less than 1/10th the testing that we women go through????? NOOOOOO! So, on we go...temping, charting, checking for CM, OPK'ing, spitting on a mini microscope and looking for plant life, counting the days, then dragging our DH's to BD everyother day from cd8-cd18 (just to be sure that all the other tests weren't wrong). UGH!!! Sorry, about the rant on your post Casey, I'm in the TWW of a medicated cycle again.

My husband and I will celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary on Saturday, still no kids for us. I think it's hard for people to understand just how hard it is for people like us. I have various female issues, all which contribute to our difficulties. We'll probably try again here within the next year or so. What really kills me is when the people closest to me ask me when they will get grandchildren... I think they should at least understand. But what do I know, why should I expect them to know how it feels. Again, thanks for your post. It put a lot of my feelings into words. Also shout out to all 18 people I know who have had children without difficulties in the last 6 months. Thanks for making it easy! <em>Erika's last blog post..<a href='http://reyeshouse.blogspot.com/2008/06/carmel-high-school-class-of-2008.html' rel="nofollow">Carmel High School Class of 2008</a></em> It was so refreshing to read yourr post.
