| Once in the while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale….and sometimes that fairytale spins into something greater than you ever thought imaginable.

This cycle, I MASTERED the injections! It was a bit of touch and go there for awhile. I would cry one day...then not the next…then sob uncontrollably for 15 minutes the day after that. But today is CD 15….the first day of our IUI this cycle. So I mastered it…no needles for me today!
Another part of the JOY of doing an injections cycle is the increased monitoring by the doctors. They watch your ovaries like a hawk! I knew there was going to be increased visits but seriously…every other day?!?! Our RE seems to get joy out of making us wake up early (and of course collecting our co-pays).

| Tomorrow I turn 30! I will admit I am really struggling with it. It is not so much the age as getting older thing….it’s the age as getting older without children thing. I can deal with turning 30…I can’t deal with 30 without a child.

| I love the understanding that Prince Charming and I both have in regards to our issues with trying to have a baby. We get each other. We are on the same team….team infertile!

It’s about to get real religious up in here….haters need not apply!

For me lately, trying to get pregnant has been like a bad game of Press Your Luck. You step up to the board to spin the wheel, of course, with hopes of getting pregnant and finally getting my baby.
Come on…big belly!! Big baby….No whammys…and STOP.

| I know I have said before, I am an open book. I’m not ashamed of my infertility. It isn’t something I caught from being careless or as far as I know, it isn’t an effect of something I caused (I say as far as I know because there really isn’t enough research on why so many people deal with infertility nowadays). It’s been a lousy card my husband and I have been dealt. We are dealing with it and getting through it.

| I’m here again….in my 2 week wait…also known as the 2 weeks of weary womb worrying. I had my IUI on Saturday and Sunday. We triggered on Friday, which is different from the normal so I’m hoping it’s different enough to work this time!

| I’ll admit, I came into these treatments a little smug. When we first started in October with the IUI’s, I felt on top of the world…I was going to kick infertility in its backside. I had planned out how we would do an IUI every month through March. I counted six IUI’s by then…I would surely be pregnant in 6 IUI’s…I mean seriously…what are the chances I wouldn’t be?

| The Queen of Broken Hearts has showed her mark for the SECOND time this wonderful, wonderful menstrual March! Tomorrow is my day three appointment where we will see if the creepy little resident that has taken up on my left ovary is gone…as expected. It received it's eviction notice, delivered by Ovidril, over two weeks ago! Cyst BE GONE!

Our story begins in high school... I married my best friend. Frank and I have been together for 12 years, married for almost 4. We have been trying to conceive since summer of 2006, but have hit a lot of bumps along the way (issues with insurance, doctors and PCOS). This journey has been a rollercoaster and on the cusp of our thirties, we are back on the ride full force. I fall in love with my husband every day as we dream and hope for our future with our children! We are parents... we just haven't met our child yet!
