It's a new day

I’m feeling better this morning than I did yesterday. I went and got a book last night, The Conception Chronicles, that so far I love. It’s not super medical or totally funny, which I like. It’s written by 3 women who each took awhile to conceive. Basically it’s for anyone who is to a frustrating point in TTC. It’s helping.

I feel guilty sometimes for being upset that it’s taking this long. We’re only onto cycle #8, and there a lot of women who take much longer. It’s just that I never thought I’d have problems and so far we know of at least one – what if there are others? When I talk to Kim today or tomorrow I may ask if we should bump up the SA (sperm analysis) and HSG (test where they run dye through my tubes.) A lot of places do those before they put you on Clomid anyways, so I don’t think it’s too out of the ordinary. I don’t want to feel like I’m blowing things out of proportion though. Then again, if there IS a problem, I’d rather know now, then after trying for a few more months. It’s the same philosophy I had before we did the progesterone tests, and I’m so glad that we did. Otherwise I’d have kept trying with no luck, and not have had any clue why.

I read yesterday that if Clomid is going to work, it will happen in 3 months. I need to ask Kim what happens after that. I’m not trying to be pessimistic, but I’d just like to know what could happen. I *think* that the step after that is IUI – intrauterine insemination. Granted it all depends on if there is anything else going on, but in general that seems to be the next step. Hopefully we won’t get to that!
