Hi girls,

Just to tell you all a bit about me and my TTC journey, DH and I have been TTC for 2 years. I've had laproscopic surgery with hysteroscopy and my RE found areas of "mild" endometriosis which was removed by laser. DH had 3 SA's all around 24-28 million. He's considered borderline. We did 2 rounds of IUI with injectables that failed. I also hyperstimulated the last cycle and had to go the ER, fun! Going through all that to find out it didn't work. My RE wants us to do IVF but we're going to wait a couple months. Give my body a break, you know? In the meantime, we're going to give the OV watch a shot, see if that works. If not, then onto IVF I go!
Quick vent: I keep getting calls that this relative is pregnant and this friend is pregnant followed by, are you okay?? Let me just say that EVERYONE got pregnant in the now 2 years DH and I have been trying! I feel like everyone I know that gets pregnant is a jab at me. I know it isn't intentional but why, all of a sudden, does everyone have to get pregnant?! I can't even look at Angelina Jolie, what are you trying to prove??
Ok, I feel better! Sorry for the long rant guys. Oh and I refuse to go to any baby shower till I'm pregnant. That's my new rule. Ok, that's really it ;)

Thank you guys soooo much for the warmest welcome here! I truly appreciate hearing your journey's as well. I realize, hey, I am not alone here! I have my days that are worse than others and my DH feels so helpless. I've tried to put it nicely that he has no idea what it's like to be me and feel what I feel. Especially after I get the calls about someone being pregnant. I just make him take me out for a couple cocktails ;)
Don't you love reading the US weeklys and In Touch mags about this star being pregnant and so on. What's worse is not only are they pregnant, it's twins! Oh goodie, put lemon juice on my open wounds too! Why can't J.Lo just admit she's had in vitro? C'mon now, boy/girl twins when you couldn't conceive for years??? It makes me sick. She can help bring the whole infertility issue to the forefront instead of denying it. I think that is my rant for the day, lol!
Thanks again guys for the words of support, like I said, I appreciate all of it. I'm not too hopeful about this cycle (due for AF 3/8ish). At least I can try my new OV watch out for the next 3 mos and hope for success with that. I'm hoping to get pg the least invasive way. I hope March brings us all some well deserved luck!
