They're being careful about the clomid because I was told that sometimes it can thin the uterine lining. I had no idea.

I don't have a facebook. Have thought of it though. I had a myspace awhile back but never thought much of either of them.

Sounds promising about the spotting! I never had any of that, hope that's a sticky for you!!!!!

DH and I talked last night and if this cycle doesn't work we are going to take a few months off to re-group and decide what to do next. We will tell my father and go from there. Telling my father will be very hard because all he's ever wanted is a grandchild (I'm the only child). He's constantly on us about having a baby. We're considering IVF, but only just talking about it for now. Shady Grove Fertility Center has the shared risk program. Patients pay $20k and they guarantee a delivery. If you're not pregnant in 6 cycles, they refund your money. Of course, the $20k does not include meds; which are upwards of thousands of dollars more.

I'm off to run some errands. Have a great day!

Lisa,
Did you not do a trigger this round? I thought you did. Now do you have fertility issues at all of just DH? I was only wondering why you would be considering IVF. Does your insurance cover any of it? I would say go for it! Only because I have done both and really there isn't much of a difference in the course of treatment except for those dreaded 2 inch needle shots in the rear, ouch. Actually it doesn't hurt that bad it's just the antisipation and the thought that is the worst! The success rates per cycle are much higher with IVF also. If I had the money to do it again I would. We are also offered the shared risk program. It is a great thing to do, if you can afford it because it takes some of the pressure off you if it doesn't work the first time. I am sorry you have to tell your dad, do you think he will help you guys out? My father-in-law said he would when we did IVF, I started the injectables and everything, and then he changed his mind, WTF!!! He said he thought it wasn't a good time for us to do it! Mind you he is extremely wealthy. I looked at it as you gave birth to your son and he has a problem and will be robbed of having children and you don't want to help him! Needless to say I hold a little anomousity! How are you doing and holding up? Atleast you get to start up again this month that is promising !

As far as my progress today is day 9 or 10 piui (do you count the day you had it?) and have POAS and I don't know what to think. It could still be early, but it's not looking good. Not even the faintest line. I really thought this was it for me! This was the month, but that lovely little test is contradicting me!
