Erin: I feel the same way!! I agree that by the time any sons we had are our age, they will have so many more medical advances when it comes to fertility. Just think how far they have come since we were born.

Funny you mention Ohio. I am from there, born in Marietta, went to Ohio University for undergrad and Ohio State for veterinary school. I moved to California right after I graduated vet school. Hunting was huge there but not big here in San Francisco. It is this time of year I really miss fall and colder weather. I used to go to the fall pumpkin festivals and would get apple butter, now that is one thing you just don't see out here. Darn, now I am craving it.

AFM: AF is super late, I am at day 35 and counting. I am sure it is the stress of the job situation. DH just got his estradiol levels tested and they are high normal so Dr. Turek wants to start Arimidex. We are trying to get Kaiser to approve it but I know it is pricey. We will pay out of pocket if necessary but we have funds set aside for IF and don't want to touch it until we absolutely have to. Could this stuff get any more complicated???
