Infertility is a complicated problem to diagnose, and reading an article or book on infertility will not make you an “expert” on the subject. Let your friends work with their doctor to diagnose and treat the problem. Your friends probably already know more about the causes and solutions of infertility than you will ever know.
You may feel like you are being helpful by reading up on infertility, and there is nothing wrong with learning more about the subject. The problem comes when you try to “play doctor” with your friends. They already have a doctor with years of experience in diagnosing and treating the problem. They need to work with and trust their doctor to treat the problem. You only complicate the issue when you throw out other ideas that you have read about. The doctor knows more about the causes and solutions; let your friends work with their doctor to solve the problem.
Don’t Be Crude
It is appalling that I even have to include this paragraph, but some of you need to hear this-Don’t make crude jokes about your friend’s vulnerable position. Crude comments like “I’ll donate the sperm” or “Make sure the doctor uses your sperm for the insemination” are not funny, and they only irritate your friends.
Don’t Complain About Your Pregnancy
This message is for pregnant women-Just being around you is painful for your infertile friends. Seeing your belly grow is a constant reminder of what your infertile friend cannot have. Unless an infertile women plans to spend her life in a cave, she has to find a way to interact with pregnant women. However, there are things you can do as her friend to make it easier.
The number one rule is DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR PREGNANCY. I understand from my friends that, when you are pregnant, your hormones are going crazy and you experience a lot of discomfort, such as queasiness, stretch marks, and fatigue. You have every right to vent about the discomforts to any one else in your life, but don’t put your infertile friend in the position of comforting you.
Your infertile friend would give anything to experience the discomforts you are enduring because those discomforts come from a baby growing inside of you. When I heard a pregnant woman complain about morning sickness, I would think, “I’d gladly throw up for nine straight months if it meant I could have a baby.” When a pregnant woman would complain about her weight gain, I would think, “I would cut off my arm if I could be in your shoes.”
I managed to go to baby showers and hospitals to welcome my friends’ new babies, but it was hard. Without exception, it was hard. Stay sensitive to your infertile friend’s emotions, and give her the leeway that she needs to be happy for you while she cries for herself. If she can’t bring herself to hold your new baby, give her time. She isn’t rejecting you or your new baby; she is just trying to work her way through her pain to show sincere joy for you. The fact that she is willing to endure such pain in order to celebrate your new baby with you speaks volumes about how much your friendship means to her.
Don’t Treat Them Like They Are Ignorant
For some reason, some people seem to think that infertility causes a person to become unrealistic about the responsibilities of parenthood. I don’t follow the logic, but several people told me that I wouldn’t ache for a baby so much if I appreciated how much responsibility was involved in parenting.
Let’s face it-no one can fully appreciate the responsibilities involved in parenting until they are, themselves, parents. That is true whether you successfully conceived after one month or after 10 years. The length of time you spend waiting for that baby does not factor in to your appreciation of responsibility. If anything, people who have been trying to become pregnant longer have had more time to think about those responsibilities. They have also probably been around lots of babies as their friends started their families.
Perhaps part of what fuels this perception is that infertile couples have a longer time to “dream” about what being a parent will be like. Like every other couple, we have our fantasies-my child will sleep through the night, would never have a tantrum in public, and will always eat his vegetables. Let us have our fantasies. Those fantasies are some of the few parent-to-be perks that we have-let us have them. You can give us your knowing looks when we discover the truth later.
Don’t Gossip About Your Friend’s Condition
Infertility treatments are very private and embarrassing, which is why many couples choose to undergo these treatments in secret. Men especially are very sensitive to letting people know about infertility testing, such as sperm counts. Gossiping about infertility is not usually done in a malicious manner. The gossipers are usually well-meaning people who are only trying to find out more about infertility so they can help their loved ones.
Regardless of why you are sharing this information with someone else, it hurts and embarrasses your friend to find out that Madge the bank teller knows what your husband’s sperm count is and when your next period is expected. Infertility is something that should be kept as private as your friend wants to keep it. Respect your friend’s privacy, and don’t share any information that your friend hasn’t authorized.
Don’t Push Adoption (Yet)
Adoption is a wonderful way for infertile people to become parents. (As an adoptive parent, I can fully vouch for this!!) However, the couple needs to work through many issues before they will be ready to make an adoption decision. Before they can make the decision to love a “stranger’s baby,” they must first grieve the loss of that baby with Daddy’s eyes and Mommy’s nose. Adoption social workers recognize the importance of the grieving process. When my husband and I went for our initial adoption interview, we expected the first question to be, “Why do you want to adopt a baby?” Instead, the question was, “Have you grieved the loss of your biological child yet?” Our social worker emphasized how important it is to shut one door before you open another.
You do, indeed, need to grieve this loss before you are ready to start the adoption process. The adoption process is very long and expensive, and it is not an easy road. So, the couple needs to be very sure that they can let go of the hope of a biological child and that they can love an adopted baby. This takes time, and some couples are never able to reach this point. If your friend cannot love a baby that isn’t her “own,” then adoption isn’t the right decision for her, and it is certainly not what is best for the baby.
Mentioning adoption in passing can be a comfort to some couples. (The only words that ever offered me comfort were from my sister, who said, “Whether through pregnancy or adoption, you will be a mother one day.”) However, “pushing” the issue can frustrate your friend. So, mention the idea in passing if it seems appropriate, and then drop it. When your friend is ready to talk about adoption, she will raise the issue herself.
So, what can you say to your infertile friends? Unless you say “I am giving you this baby,” there is nothing you can say that will erase their pain. So, take that pressure off of yourself. It isn’t your job to erase their pain, but there is a lot you can do to lesson the load. Here are a few ideas.
Let Them Know That You Care
The best thing you can do is let your infertile friends know that you care. Send them cards. Let them cry on your shoulder. If they are religious, let them know you are praying for them. Offer the same support you would offer a friend who has lost a loved one. Just knowing they can count on you to be there for them lightens the load and lets them know that they aren’t going through this alone.
Remember Them on Mother’s Day
With all of the activity on Mother’s Day, people tend to forget about women who cannot become mothers. Mother’s Day is an incredibly painful time for infertile women. You cannot get away from it-There are ads on the TV, posters at the stores, church sermons devoted to celebrating motherhood, and all of the plans for celebrating with your own mother and mother-in-law.
Mother’s Day is an important celebration and one that I relish now that I am a mother. However, it was very painful while I was waiting for my baby. Remember your infertile friends on Mother’s Day, and send them a card to let them know you are thinking of them. They will appreciate knowing that you haven’t “forgotten” them.
Support Their Decision to Stop Treatments
No couple can endure infertility treatments forever. At some point, they will stop. This is an agonizing decision to make, and it involves even more grief. Even if the couple chooses to adopt a baby, they must still first grieve the loss of that baby who would have had mommy’s nose and daddy’s eyes.
Once the couple has made the decision to stop treatments, support their decision. Don’t encourage them to try again, and don’t discourage them from adopting, if that is their choice. Once the couple has reached resolution (whether to live without children, adopt a child, or become foster parents), they can finally put that chapter of their lives behind them. Don’t try to open that chapter again.

Don't get me wrong - Barry is entitled to his emotions. My wife has even accused me of the same thing at times when I'm naturally a little cranky. I can only imagine if I'd also had a drug inside me designed to amp up in women's bodies the sometimes challenging cycles of fertility. Not to be un-PC but "The View" can get pretty scary some days.
Don't bad news. Mr. Bonds is not about to be another Thomas Beatie, the famous pregnant man. The slugger's stomach may be the one fragment of him that didn't grow, according to a story that said some of the testimony in his perjury case involves "witness description of Bonds' head size, hat size, hand size (and) foot size..." I'm guessing at least all those properties got bigger.
At least one story describes clomid as an estrogen-blocker and testosterone enhancer, so I might just be getting in a mood about this PMS thing, wholly unsupported by scientific and medical realities. My apologies.
The last time I saw Barry Bonds up close was years ago at a dinner party in the Seacliff home of Jeff and Carole Shorenstein Hays. He was wearing a well-tailored suit and moved his considerable bulk any which way the floor with some ease. He was friendly and almost retiring, not in keeping with the angry, arrogant diamond superstar portrayed, well, nearly everywhere in the press.
He also sent some baseball-interdependent toys as a present - Christmas or birthday, I can't remember - to my oldest son when he was still a toddler. I didn't recognize it a teddy bear-bribe at the time; it blameless seemed like a nice gesture, presumably celeb parent to celeb parent (neither of them me.)
But it was only after those brief connections that Barry Bonds became just about an every day part of my life. The BALCO case consumed a ton of oxygen at The Chronicle, both as an ongoing fiction and as a First Amendment cage match midway the paper and formerly-U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez over the ability of our reporters, Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada, to maintain the confidentiality of their sources.
Lance and Mark did not go to jail and continue their impressive reporting careers. The on-the-field baseball career of Mr. Bonds is over, a victim of age and that case. A judge or jury will decide if Mr. Bonds committed perjury about his steroid use. This morning he pled "not guilty."
But we're only left to imagine the crime war waged under his skin in the gender-bending days when Clomid met "The Clear.

Guy and I went to our first fertility appointment yesterday and it was a very bittersweet experience. Bitter because the doctor found the problem... and sweet because, at least, he found a problem and now we can do something about it. We are going to call him Dr. P, and he is amazing!!
We arrived at the office and they put us in a room until the doctor arrived (he was doing rounds on his patients at a nearby hospital). He finally saw us about 8:45 and he just collected a good medical history foundation on both of us. The nurse took our picture for our file and then we were off to the exam room.
I undressed and got on the table. In addition to the regular poking and prodding of a regular annual exam at the ob/gyn, I also received a transvaginal ultrasound (a probe in inserted vaginally and ultrasound is used to visualize the pelvic organs). Everything looked perfectly fine until he looked at my ovaries. I could see these black "bubble" things around my ovaries and I knew this wasn't normal. Right then and there he diagnosed me with PCOS (PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome). At first, I was very upset thinking I would never have the chance to carry my child or be a mother. Then Dr. P then chuckled, and said "I deal with this everyday! We have medicines to fix you!" Boy, was I relieved!
We then went back to his office to discuss what we are going to do. We first had to go give blood that afternoon to check us both out to a T. Guy has to go next week to give a semen analysis (just to chek the number and quality of his Michael Phelps...) and to make sure the only problem is with me. He put me on Aygestin 5mg to make me have a period and shed my uterine lining so that he can perform a test on me in the next week or so called a SIS (Saline Infusion Sonography) and an HSG (Hysterosalpingogram). An SIS is done to evaluate the inside of the uterus by filling the uterus with saline during a transvaginal ultrasound. An HSG is an X-ray test that looks at the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes and the area around them. After these tests are finished, I will then be out on injections to stimulate ovulation and then Dr. P will artificially inseminate me with Guy's sperm. He says doing it this way is a lot more controlled and insures a pregnancy even more.
We are eager about all of this starting, yet nervous as well! We hope everything works out for the best and we are blessed with a beautiful baby one day! I will always remember this experience that my husband and I are going through and we can't wait to have a little miracle!
Thank you for all the prayers and thoughts.

After appointment #1, we love the new RE! She wears funky glasses and (perhaps more importantly), she treated us like we were important, honored the difficult time weve been having, agreed that a year and a half is too long to be trying and felt like she could help us. Im not 100% happy with the appointment, but the bottom line is we have a (soft) plan of action. The soft part is what Im not happy about but Im working on relaxing and accepting that things might just take a little longer than Id like (I would like instant action, so theres room for compromise here).
What we liked most about the RE, who Ill call, Dr. Get Us Baby (Dr. GUB), was that she looked at the 25 or so charts we gave her and said that without a doubt something was wrong. She said some charts are beautiful and absolutely show ovulation but some most definitely do not (she was especially baffled by last cycle). This might not sound like good news, but knowing theres something to treat is a relief and it validates what weve suspected. Just to note, these are some of the same charts Dr. Fucker at Kaiser glanced at and declared Fern was absolutely ovulating every time, all was well, PCOS was definitely not a problem, no he wouldnt test for it, get out of my office etc. even though we were pretty sure (and Cactus thought too) there was a problem. Dr. F was completely obsessed with our sperm and thought the only solution to our problems was switching to frozen. He makes me mad, he does. Fern and I have been talking about the various ways he treated us with disrespect today.
So, the other great thing about Dr. GUB was that she, and apparently many other employees of her clinic, do not like Dr. F at Kaiser. While we didnt actually talk shit about him with her, she said she knew exactly who we were talking about when we described the difficult time we had at Kaiser and made it clear that she was not a fan of his. She and some of the other staff said that they get a lot of Kaiser patients at their clinic. This was really nice and affirming since doctors are such authority figures and when you feel youve been given the cold shoulder by one, its sometimes hard to feel like youre in the right because theyre the ones with the fancy degrees and all. I never felt like Dr. F was the final word but he made me feel like we were up against a wall and it was nice to know that another doctor in his field thinks hes got some problems. We definitely felt like we were in the right place yesterday.
The other small thing I liked about Dr. GUB was how many times she referred to Fern as a future pregnant person. She was describing the glucose test she might have Fern take and said, ll have to go through that again when youre pregnant. And when she was advising us to test to see if Fern is a carrier for cystic fibrosis, she said, s now standard protocol to ask all women who are trying to get pregnant or who are recently pregnant to test for this, so you might be asked again really soon.
I cant say I left there feeling like were out of the woods, but I do feel like were in good hands. They took a ton of Ferns blood and are running tests (some of which weve already done, but we decided to re-do them since its been so long). She thinks theres a good chance that Fern will have insulin resistance based on her charts and the fact that she has diabetes in her family, so that will likely be the next test once we determine the results from yesterdays batch. Then, depending on the test results, well start either metf0rmin or cl0mid and roll from there. I get impatient waiting for all the blood work, but I understand its a necessary and, really, not too time-consuming step.
Dr. GUB also further confirmed that Basils numbers are normal, yay!
Im trying not to beat myself up for all the questions I forgot to ask. I didnt go in with a list and I forgot some obvious ones (like if theyll do KD IUIS, though I think I know the answer). But Fern reminds me that this wont be the last time we talk to her. Yes, true.
Tests will be back next week, credit card is at the ready and cautious optimism is engaged.

Im trying not to beat myself up for all the questions I forgot to ask. I didnt go in with a list and I forgot some obvious ones (like if theyll do KD IUIS, though I think I know the answer). But Fern reminds me that this wont be the last time we talk to her. Yes, true.
Tests will be back next week, credit card is at the ready and cautious optimism is engaged.

Billy said: "It works by helping to produce more hormones that cause your ovaries to release one or more mature eggs during ovulation. Clomid is a very effective medication for both men and women. Clomiphene citrate is widely available on the black market in a variety of brand names. Clomid is typically prescribed for women to aid in ovulation. As easy as using Clomiphene. Clomid will gradually raise testosterone levels over its period of intake."

This blog is supposed to be fun.Pure and simple. This is not the Diary of (Insert My Name Here.) This is the Dairy of the Yummy Mummy. Yes, it is based on my life but this is only one dimension of my life. Therefore, it should not come as shocking to anyone that this blog is ONE DIMENSIONAL. It is what it claims to be. A diary of a mom who loves her son, loves Boston, loves living a city lifestyle, and likes fashion (the horror I know.) I have tried to create a fun environment where the things that make me smile are shown.I don't intend people to have a life changing experience when reading my posts. If you want political commentary read the Huffington Post or CNN. If you want to discuss the horrors going on around the world might I suggest the ICC's website or PHR? This is not, and will never be that place. Consider it blog lite. The US Weekly of the blog world. You don't pick up a Star magazine and find yourself shocked when you see celebrities, of a Vogue and pass out because there are expensive clothes featured, so don't be surprised when this blog is exactly what it claims to be. Fun.

Categorized in two classes, oral or injectable, Clomid falls under the first label of oral drug - another reason for its popularity. As a post drug use therapy in returning natural testosterone production. Clomid works to stimulate a woman's ovaries to mature an increased number of follicles every month. Clomid therapy should not be initiated until a semen analysis has been completed.

There could be many causes of infertility in addition to ovulatory disorders, including endometriosis, tubal disease, cervical factor and others. Clomid is not useful for women whose ovaries have reached the end of their working life. Clomid stimulates the ovaries but has previously been linked to severe sickness in a fifth of patients who take it. Clomid citrate is commonly the first medication that is used to induce ovulation, to correct irregular ovulation, to correct irregular ovulation, to increase egg production and to correct a condition known as luteal phase deficiency.

Parlodel ( Bromocriptine ) 2,5 mg is a stimulator of dopamine receptors. Inhibitor of secretions of prolactin.
Indications
Infringements of a menstrual cycle, female barreness.
Parlodel-dependent diseases and the conditions which are accompanied or not accompanied by hyperparlodelemia:
– amenorrhea (accompanied and not accompanied by galactorrhea), oligomenorrhea;
– insufficiency of a lutein phase;
– hyperprolactinemic infringements caused by medical products (for example, some psychotropic or antihypertensive preparations).
Parlodel-dependent female barreness:
– a syndrome of polycystic ovaries;
– anovulatory cycles (in addition to antiestrogen, for example clomiphene).
A premenstrual syndrome:
– morbidity of mammary glands, the hypostases connected with a phase of the cycle, meteorism, infringements of mood.
Hyperprolactinemia at men:
– parlodel-dependent hypogonadism (oligospermia, loss of libido, impotency).
Prolactinomas:
– Conservative treatment of parlodel-secreting micro and macroadenoma of a hypophysis;
– Preoperative preparation for reduction of volume of a tumor and simplification of its removal;
– Postoperative treatment if the level of prolactin remains raised.
Acromegaly:
– As additional means in a complex with radiotherapy and operative treatment or, in special cases, as alternative to surgical or radiotherapy.
Suppression of a lactation:
– Prevention or the termination of a postnatal lactation under medical indications;
– Prevention of a lactation after abortion;
– Postnatal hardening of mammary glands;
– Beginning of puerperal mastitis.
Good-quality diseases of mammary glands:
– mastalgia (in the isolated kind, or in a combination with a premenstrual syndrome or good-quality central or cystic changes);
– Good-quality central and-or cystic changes, especially fibrocystic mastopathy.
Parkinson’s disease:
– All stages of an idiopathic Parkinson’s disease and postencephalitic parkinsonism either in the form of monotherapy, or in a combination with others antiparkinson means.
Collateral action
During first several days of treatment at some patients can be marked a nausea; less often - the dizziness, the general weakness, vomiting, however these phenomena, as a rule, do not demand the termination of treatment.
Parlodel can cause a hypotension, including the orthostatic hypotension, which sometimes can lead to a collapse; therefore especially in the first days of treatment it is recommended to supervise the ABP.
Besides there are messages on development of blocking in a nose, a lock, drowsiness, headaches and, less often, confusion of consciousness, psychomotor excitation, hallucinations, dyskinesia, dryness in a mouth, spasmes in gastrocnemius muscles, allergic skin reactions and loss of hair. Usually these by-effects are doze-dependent and can be supervised at decrease in doze of Parlodel.
Sometimes at long treatment of cases of temporary whitening of tips of fingers of hands and feet in reply to influence of cold are marked, especially at patients at whom the Reyno’s syndrome earlier was observed.
Application of Parlodel for suppression of a physiological lactation in the postnatal period was accompanied by development of an arterial hypertensia in rare cases, a heart attack of a myocardium, spasmes, a cerebral insult or mental infringements.
Contra-indications
– An uncontrollable arterial hypertensia;
– An arterial hypertensia at pregnancy (including eclampsy, preeclampsia or the arterial hypertensia caused by pregnancy);
– An arterial hypertensia in the early and late postnatal period;
– CHD and other serious cardiovascular diseases;
– Serious mental diseases current and/or in the anamnesis;
– The raised sensitivity to the components of Parlodel or other ergot alkaloids.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
care in case of application of Parlodel during the early and late postnatal period is necessary, as sometimes (about 1 case from 100 000) at application of Parlodel for prevention of a lactation revealed a heart attack of a myocardium, spasmes, an insult or mental infringements; sometimes spasmes or infringement of brain blood circulation preceded by a strong headache or time infringements of sight. At prescription of Parlodel during the early postnatal period it is necessary to supervise carefully the ABP, especially in the first days of treatment. Extra care is necessary at treatment by Parlodel of patients, recently accepted or accepting the preparations adjusting the ABP. At occurrence of a constant headache or any attributes of neurotoxicity the treatment should be immediately stopped.
It is necessary to appoint Parlodel to patients in minimal therappeutically effective dozes (except for the pathology caused by raised secretion of parlodel) for prevention of decrease of concentration of parlodel in plasma of blood below normal values, capable to be reflected badly in function of a yellow body.
At mastalgia and nodal and/or cystose changes of mammary glands it is necessary to exclude presence of malignant new growths before application of Parlodel.
At acromegalia before application of Parlodel it is necessary to exclude presence of ulcer diseases of a digestive path, and at their presence it is better to refuse from application of Parlodel or to recommend the patient to address immediately to the doctor at occurrence of any infringements from system of digestion. Care is necessary in connection with some messages on gastroenteric bleedings at patients with acromegalia on a background of treatment with Parlodel, notwithstanding that their causal interrelation is not established.
Care at purpose of Parlodel is necessary for patients with mental or heavy cardiovascular diseases in the anamnesis.
At treatment with Parlodel, especially in the first days, occurrence of a hypotension is possible, care therefore is necessary to be taken at work with various machines and mechanisms.
The bearableness of Parlodel may worsen at reception of alcohol.
There are separate messages on occurrence of pleural effusion at patients with parkinsonism, having received high dozes of Parlodel for a long time, therefore a patient with a pleuropulmonary pathology of not clear genesis should be surveyed carefully and a preparation should be cancelled at acknowledgement of a causal relationship.
Some cases of development of retroperitoneal fibrosis at the patients, who have been receiving Parlodel during some years in daily dozes over 30 mg are described. For duly diagnostics retroperitoneal fibrosis on early, reverse stages of illness it is recommended to pay attention to its displays (a pain in a waist, hypostases of the bottom finitenesses, infringement of function of kidneys, etc.) at the given category of patients. At suspicion or acknowledgement of presence of fibrous changes in retroperitoneal space, the treatment by Parlodel should be cancelled.
The treatment by Parlodel can restore fertility, therefore at undesirability of approach of pregnancy it is recommended to use reliable methods of contraception. At approach of pregnancy it is recommended to cancel Parlodel, reception of a preparation may be continued only under strict indications. At cancelling of Parlodel on early terms of pregnancy, its negative influence on current and an outcome of pregnancy is not noted. At approach of pregnancy at patients with an adenoma of a hypophysis treatment by Parlodel should be cancelled, establishing careful supervision over the patient during pregnancy. At occurrence of attributes of the expressed increase of a prolactinoma (for example occurrence of a headache or narrowing of fields of vision) treatment with Parlodel is possible to be renewed or operative intervention should be undertaken. Application of Parlodel at treatment of female barreness with the subsequent approach of pregnancy (over 2000 cases) was not accompanied by the raised risk of abortions, premature birth or developmental anomalies.

Its raining outside today and of course, as usual, I found myself thinking about my inability to have babies. And then I started thinking about all the celebrities with twins. Surely they didnt ALL have those twins naturally? i googled celebrity infertility and found a few interesting articles about celebs who have openly admitted to going through fertility treatments and others that are speculated. Julia Roberts wont admit it but she has twins. JLo has twins too but says she conceived them naturally. Angelina Jolie? maybe. Marcia Cross openly admits IVF treatments and so does Courtney Cox. I think my favorite find was that the Dixie Chicks sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire who collectively conceived two sets of twins through IVF treatments and wrote a song about their struggles. I am a Dixie Chick fan and I did not realize that So Hard is about infertility but it is. Take a look at the lyrics.
So Hard
Back when we started
We didnt know how hard it was
Living on nothing
But what the wind would bring to us
Now weve got something
I can imagine fighting for
So why is fighting all that were good at anymore
And sometimes I dont have the energy
To prove everybody wrong
And I try my best to be strong
But you know its so hard
Its so hard
Its so hard when it doesnt come easy
Its so hard when it doesnt come fast
Its so hard when it doesnt come easy
Its so hard
It felt like a given
Something a womans born to do
A natural ambition
To see a reflection of me and you
And Id feel so guilty
If that was a gift I couldnt give
And could you be happy
If life wasnt how we pictured it
And sometimes I just want to wait it out
To prove everybody wrong
And I need your help to move on
Cause you know its so hard
Its so hard
Its so hard when it doesnt come easy
Its so hard when it doesnt come fast
Its so hard when it doesnt come easy
So hard
I can live for the moment
When all these clouds open up for me to see
And show me a vision
Of you and me swimming peacefully
Last night you told me
That you cant remember
How to feel free
Its so hard when it doesnt come easy
Its so hard when it doesnt come fast
Its so hard when it doesnt come easy, easy
Its so hard
and there you have it. add that to your i cant get pregnant and it sucks ass playlist.

So, I am beginning to feel like I actually ovulated at 6DPO. I haven't had any temps below the coverline (and hopefully won't!). I had two days where I woke up at 5 randomly and had to temp then, but those temps were still up, so that's good, though frustrating that I don't know what my "real" temps were. Oh well! I am about to get moving so I can head to the doctor to get my CD21 Blood work done. It's really CD22 for me, but seeing as how CD21 was Christmas, my doctor said it was fine to wait until today. I am really nervous. Not so much about blood work or my progesterone levels as I am about being pregnant. I am SO anxious for this luteal phase to move along so that I can test. At the same time, I am terrified to test and take away my "dream world" where I COULD be pregnant. I will be so devasted if that little stick says "no" to me. I had a lot of cramping the first few days PO, but not so much now. I had a major metallic taste in my mouth around days 3 and 4, but it hasn't shown up really today at all. My nipples are sore to the touch, which NEVER happens to me, but that could also be because of ovulation, since that has also never happened to me! (At least in recent memory!) Ah, well. I guess we continue to participate in the waiting game. Joy.

I had my annual gyn appt yesterday - it was two hours (most of it waiting) but it went pretty well. The Dr. was not impressed with my ovusoft charts, though. He said bbt's are too unreliable - I just said that I had to disagree and left it at that. He was supportive of my use of NPC but was skeptical that it would help me to ovulate on my own. I am just going to keep fingers crossed and think positively!
Today my cervix is again soft, high and open and I had a big temp dip down to 96.44 today! Praying that I actually O on my own so I can supplement with the NPC soon.
I am continuing to increase my daily fruit/veggie intake and lower my refined sugars/carbs. I am eating only healthy carbs such as whole wheat pasta, brown rice, etc... and only one serving per day. I am losing my tummy, which is great! I'm really trying to be healthy and I hope that the NPC will be a good supplement in the lp for me.

I've become a crappy blogger.
Work is good, but not being home all day means cramming a lot of work into a few short hours. I started work with 6 other girls. I have always learned things quickly, and this is no exception. Reviewing med authorizations to me is like playing a video game. You have to memorize the complex rules, and know all the secret tricks. I get a little thrill when I know I can approve something, or when I take time to make a patient's case with one of our docs (we email our spiel to a doc, and only they can deny a case), and they make an exception to approve someone. I love that there is only minimal calling a doc's office, and mostly just talking to a medical assistant. We might do a couple calls a day tops. I am floating on cloud nine at the thought of never being screamed at again because I just happened to be there and the day was going bad.
Knowing what I know now, I see the Big Evil Insurance Company in a different light. I can't tell you how many of thousands of medication requests come through every day and are approved immediately. They only make it to me when it requires clinical judgment to gather and interpret the information for the doc. I'd say over 50% of the time the Dr offices don't bother checking off the 8-10 yes/no questions on the paper we send. Or fill in a diagnosis. Whether they should have to or not is debatable, though. It's all a question of money.
I can also see the business aspect of it. I see how much everything costs when I look at a profile. New drugs cost much, much more. My Lyrica costs $250/month on my half-dose. $500/month for a full dose. Now, I need my Lyrica for my fibromyalgia. It's been FDA approved for this diagnosis. If I forget my afternoon dose, my hip starts throbbing by evening. I have never had pain relief in 15 years- never slept well through the night in that long either. I see a lot of Lyrica being prescribed for off-label uses. That means we pay $500 on a guess. If I took a full dose, my full monthly premium would cover my meds only, never mind the doc visits, tests and whatnot. Big businesses can go under too- like Enron or AIG. Or Chrysler and GM.
Of course, that said, I do try and leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding information that can help the patient's cause. Today I got excited when some poor girl was requesting a lot of Zofran for the pregnancy pukies. There is a certain amount you can request usually, and that can be increased for the preggo pukies. But this was a lot more. I was so glad for the office nurse, who wrote a novel on her behalf. I quoted her exactly, and the doc actually approved. FYI- Zofran is really expensive. But you just can't have quality of life when puking every 30 minutes.
J is doing very well at D's house. My husband reports that when he sets him down in the morning, he crawls towards her at warp speed. That's a good sign. He does the same thing when he gets home and sees me. He's even started saying "Hey!" in surprise when he sees me.
He tried chicken for the first time at D's house. It did not go well. It was the pureed, jarred variety. He gagged and projectile vomited on the 3rd bite. Exorcist style. So, no more chicken. I think we'll try some tofu and yogurt next. I swore I wouldn't try Gerber puffs, but he has all of one tooth and I'm paranoid about choking. The Puffs dissolve rather quickly. He has a good pincer grasp, and loves picking them up and feeding himself. I measured him the other day, since the 6-9M pants really seem like capris, and he's nearly 30 inches.
It boggles the mind that he ever took up residence in my uterus.

I want to know if anyone has ever taken herbs (and no prescription drugs) and was able to go on to conceive. If so, what kind of herbs did you try and for how long?
I have been reading about different herbs such as Maca that is supposed to regulate a womans hormones naturally. My background I am 28, i do not have kids, I have been diagnosed with PCOS, I produce more estrogen and not enough progesterone, and I have been trying to conceive for quite some time now without any luck. I plan to get insurance at my job in May during open enrollement so I can get fertility medicine but I am hoping that maybe if I try the herbal route that it may work and I can finally be a mommy.
Thank you in advance,
Melissa
Hi! I have been trying to concieve with Pcos for years, have been with Husband for 5 years, I am 29. I have been on 4 rounds of Clomid with no luck, I recently was searching stuff online like natural stuff,because fertility specialists can get expensive, and I bought Ovulex 3 months ago online at there website,www.ovulex.com, I bought a 3 month supply because they have a guarentee on there product so I thought well if it dont work I can still get my money back. I prayed alot and tried to keep in tune with my cycle, I noticed within a month I was ovulating, well I had my last period September 23, and it never showed up in October so I started to test and they were very faint positives so I went to the doctor and I am pregnant 5 weeks and 4 days!! I am still in awe because I have been trying so long and it just happened out of the blue. I encourage you to look into Ovulex because I think it really helped me! Good Luck to you!.

So I've decided to skip the ovulatin kit this month, I really think it just adds stress to the equation and I don't need anymore of that. I'm using mymonthlycycles.com and getting to know my signs of ovulation. Next month I will use the ovulation kit if need be but for now I am content not using it. Today is considered day 14 of my cycle and I am considered fertile days 13-17 so we'll see, I have a doctor's appt on Tuesday to discuss the fertility issues and medications further. Also after a long conversation with my cousin who is a registered dietician I have decided to give a PCOS diet a try, although it will prove to be difficult I am really going to give it a try. It is very similar to a diabetic diet reducing refined sugars, less complex carbs and using snacks and small freq meals to maintain a constant insulin level. One thing I have read over and over again related to PCOS is the need for more water (I am so bad about this). When working a 12 hour shift I can hardly find time to eat one meal and go to the bathroom, but I am going to make an effort to get up earlier to eat breakfast (which I never do), stop my star bucks white chocolate mocha's addiction, eat less processed foods (bye bye subway), and try healthy snacks to keep my blood sugar at a constant level (fruit, nuts, cheese, crackers, and high protein items and most of all less eating out which I love to do. It may not do anything to get me pregnant but for my weight and health it's beneficial. Marcus has also hopped on board and is taking steps to lose weight so that will make things easier. Hoping for the best.
