So of course I can't get in to see the reproductive endocrinologist until January 24. But she said he was the guy to see so I guess I will wait. I'm feeling really torn about this. On the one hand I am all about taking action. But after I made the appointment I had to go in the bathroom and cry for a few minutes. (I'm at work.) I guess it is a little sad. Also, suckily, I found out that my insurance DOES cover reproductive technologies but the ONE clinic that does them doesn't file with my insurance! So if it gets to that point, we would have to pay up front. I think that sucks. What is the point of having great insurance if I have to shell out thousands on my own? Which I won't because I just don't have that kind of money. So, please cross your fingers for me that either I get preggo before this appointment or that drugs do the trick. (apparently drugs I can get w/o going to the special clinic.) Anyway..I am moody. Today is day one of cycle 12. I wanna go home.

That made me cry!!! I'm so sorry that you've had to go so long without getting pregnant. It's such a long, tough road and having to deal with formalities and bureaucracy definitely makes it more difficult!

What drugs are you going to be on? I will absolutely cross everything in hopes that you get your BFP THIS MONTH! (Happy New Year, eh?) Well...I'd like to uncross my legs, though, so that I can PRETEND that I have a chance at getting a BFP.

and to you!

So sorry, Dawn.

I took measures to get some help recently, also. My clock is just about ticked out. I didn't want to resort to that either, but it's either this or my little boy grows up with no one to play with. I understand a bit about how you are feeling.

Insurance companies can be stinkers.

Wishing you a BFP...

Thanks ladies...I don't actually know what they would put me on. The doctor is only at my clinic Tuesday mornings so that is why we can't get in until then. But the nurse/receptionist(?) I talked to said he would probably give me some "medicine" to start out. So I guess I assume it will be some form of Clomid. Although I already ovulate ok so I'm not sure. I have to say, although I hate that all of us are taking so long to get a bfp, it's sometimes more comforting to be on this board than the regular ttc board. I never begrudge anybody their bfp's but it can be disheartening to see some of the really quick ones after trying for awhile. Anyway...worrying about the ART stuff is pointless for now until we have a better understanding of why we aren't getting pregnant. So I will try not to worry about chickens who haven't hatched yet. Oh and Jess? Please uncross your legs...I'd like somebody to get a bfp this month and it would be great if it was you.

I hope that this visit leads to a BFP!!!!! I know it is so hard to have to go but it could be something so simple mine was.

Oh, Dawn! I know how you feel! If any one of you were to get a BFP, of COURSE I'm always happy for you. But there's the "I wish it would be me for once!" that lives somewhere inside all of us, too. I don't even consider it jealousy. We just plug along till the next month or so.

I'm glad that you're getting "medicine" (note: a little weird that the nurse would give you such a "technical" term ). Maybe it really will be what you need to get things jumpstarted!

And thank you...we're trying. We don't even expect anything anymore. Just take temps, pee on sticks, BD because the stick says so (well, that and...I think DH is hot), take more temps, and prepare for AF. I do like being on this board, though, because it seems like more of a reality that it will happen...at least, I think so. We're all just proof that it sometimes takes just a little bit longer for some of us. Here's hoping that our "little bit longer" doesn't go on for TOO long!!!
