Infertility Sucks!

Needle and grocery bags full of drugs

Well, here we go again...plan B. If plan A was Clomid and IUI and plan C may be IVF, then injectibles and IUI is plan B. I am now on the BCP until 5/1 and then injectibles starting 5/5 for 7 to 10 days followed by the "trigger shot" and IUI. Until our trip to the pharmacy to pick up our many bags of vials, needles, etc...it is like I am in college all over again on the pill...seems backwards, doesn't it? This is certainly an interesting journey and we are hoping that come June we are on the pregancy road and not this roller coaster any more.....

The middle...

Well, here goes nothing. I am a 33 year old, totally healthy woman with an incredible husband who has now been trying for three years to get pregnant. I know that there are so many more women out there in this same place --- and it pretty much sucks. I have decided that, even though it is not where I want to be, it is what it is. I can't get too stuck in the sadness and confusion of it all or I won't be able to enjoy what I do have -- an awesome husband, amazing friends and family, a job I love, two adorable "fur babies" and let's face it, everything except a baby. I am not at the beginning of this and don't know where the end will be...but here I am...stuck in the middle of this place so many like me call infertility....and it sucks.
