I don't even know what I will do with myself if I do get a BFP at some point. I'm afraid I will be constantly waiting for it to end or something else horrible. Here's to hoping that our blogs can be full of baby pictures in the future instead of pictures of OPK's and negative HPTs. I should start framing them to show people when they show me pictures of their babies hahaStephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776243083345097331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248832077031519183.post-57690664595913412012013-03-13T20:48:09.859-07:002013-03-13T20:48:09.859-07:00BFN are stabs at the heart for sure.

Because of my ovarian drilling procedure we did not have to go the injection route, although that was the next step if the surgery did not work. It was a tough decision for me but really I just got as many opinions as I could (from those who were on an infertile journey as well) and then went back to my doctor. Our 2nd doctor did not want to try anything out of the 'normal regimen' as he called it so we decided to seek a 3rd opinion. I just say follow your gut, it's not about rushing things or pushing - it's about making sure you feel comfortable knowing you are doing everything that's available to you in order to reach your dream. I wish things could be more cut and dry, it would sure be easier on us!!

As much as it sucks to break every once in a while, we do need it. I've been known to throw tantrums over taking breaks, because I'm usually not the one calling the 'break shots,' so I understand! I agree with T, that you do owe yourself a few more IUIs, that way you can see what is working and what's not. I'm finally coming to the realization 5 cycles of injects in, that I'm not ever going to produce more than 2 lead follicles per cycle...even when combined with femara or clomid. Hang in there! You're doing all the right things and it will be your turn soon!
