...to the next cycle.

I'm only 9DPO, but I've pretty much known since 3DPO that this cycle was a bust. That's when I started getting my usual sciatic pain radiating down my leg...
(I just had to used that smiley ).


I don't know if I posted on here about it but I went to a specialist a few weeks ago about the sciatic pain, which according to Dr. Google is a symptom of sciatic endometriosis. She said she doesn't think I have endo, b/c the pain actually is relieved by getting my period. She said we could consider doing a lap in a few months, but she didn't think I'd have any problem getting pregnant. I think she based this soley on the fact that I already have a child and that my charts show I'm ovulating. She's an RE, so apparently not many of her patient's ovulate on their own... I wanted to tell here I know a lot of nice ladies on JM who ovulate and still aren't conceiving...but whatev . I'm probably going to get an MRI done next month during my symptoms. DH and I have decided to give it a couple more cycles and then schedule another appointment to discuss the lap. I really think that's a major part of why I'm not conceiving.

So, yeah. I think I'm going to try the soy again next month, maybe at a slightly higher dose. ( I only took 80 mg last month.) It gave me the best EWCM I've ever had, and my cervix was HSO for once, so eh, it's worth a try. I'm not too hopeful of anything happening until we address the cause of the pain, though.

I think we're already moving past the point where we hope for a "December baby" or a "January baby".... we're just hoping we have another baby...someday...

Hmmm... I love pouring my heart out for all of cyberspace to see and then getting no response. Ah, well.

I'm sorry I didn't see this post before... I've been trying to put out fires, pick up my cat's ashes, blah blah blah... Either way, it's no excuse, so I'm sorry.

I don't know anything about sciatica or endo, and I'll concede that you know your body better than anyone else... but I have to say I think your chart looks fantastic and it certainly doesn't look like you're out to me.

Try to keep your chin up... It's not over til it's over.

I'm with Nikki, I think your chart looks good! And looks like you timed things really well too, so you never know!

Either way, I hope you are able to figure out what's causing the pain and get it taken care of!

I think your chart looks great. I know how you feel about wanting to just move onto next cycle. That's how I feel about this month. Let me know how the soy goes. I've been thinking about trying it but I'm worried it would mess things up more than it would help.
