Scott and I have been trying to have a baby for 3 years now and it's starting to feel like a game. Like poker, all this betting and taking chances, playing the cards. And I feel just as in control of our fertility as I do the cards that the dealer lays out.

We had our first IUI this cycle and now we just wait till AF comes or doesn't and we test. I really don't like waiting. I wish this process was a little faster. Have the IUI test the next day, if negative get your period right away so you can go on meds and try another IUI right away! I feel like all this waiting is a waist of time! Oh well, at least we have cable.

rant rant rant,... I am getting good at that!

Missed IUI #2 due to gall bladder surgery 1/4
u/s scheduled for 4/4- follies too big and too small skipped IUI
June- triggered and on prometrium...bfn
July & August- taking cycle off, I'm broke! Babies cost too much!

I understand 100000% what you are going through. We have been trying for a year and a half and it is turning out to be more stressful to me then fun! We just ended our first round of Clomid and I know deep down it didn't work. All it did was take an emotional toll on me! GRRRRR there now I ranted with you.

I too know what you mean. I had a m/c in January 2007 & so it's making me realize we have been at this for a year now....I was naive & just thought I'd get PG right away after the m/c. It didn't happen - here we are a year later with no baby & it has taken us this long to finally be to the point where we can go through IVF. We'll begin IVF the end of the month. I'm on BCP now.......

I just keep thinking that I'm going through all of this waiting to start so that I can wait some more. I pray for the day I look back & think - "that seems so long ago."

This site has helped...especially to read about others' success stories!

Yeah, I've never been great with any waiting games - not so much lack of patience, i just like to know things are for sure, so this is driving me a bit nuts. Feb. 1st isn't that far away (next appt) but still.......

i know how you feel, although my dh and i long for a child it was always comforting that we had each other to go through this with .

good luck
