I have to admit I'm surprised to find that it's been a whole month since my last blog post. If anyone is out there and still reading, thanks for following along, even when I apparently abandoned my own blog.
So what have I been up to? Well, I made it through tax season in one piece, which is always a good thing. Also, I just got back from my Baha*mavention trip yesterday. Hubby stayed home and I went with my Aunt and cousins, and we had a blast. There was lots of rum and sun to be had! It was exactly what I needed after a very stressful few months. We pretty much lazed around like beached whales the whole time, swimming, sunning, and of course, drinking fun and fruity tropical drinks!
AF still hasn't come, but then again, I still haven't picked up my Provera yet. Oops. Hubby and I still haven't had "the talk" yet about what we're going to do as far as proceeding with IF treatments. It didn't help that a few days before I left for my trip we got a bill in the mail for all the wanding and blood draws. Gulp. The Lord *must* work in mysterious ways, since apparently it wasn't enough that I was stimming for 3 weeks, had to go in almost daily for blood draws and get a long stick shoved up my vajayjay AND had the whole thing cancelled, because in addition to all that fun, we got a nice little bill of $4000. Which my insurance is most likely not going to cover.
So, because of that cost, we really need to reevaluate what our next step is going to be. Part of me wants to do another injectible cycle right away, but the other part of me wants to wait till we get a little more money in the bank and pay off this bill.
It really stinks that throughout this whole 3 year ordeal, we still don't feel like we've really tried for a baby. Between me not ovulating, the Clomid not working, and having to cancel our first injectibles cycle, it feels like we've been playing Double Dutch this whole time, waiting for the right time to jump in. So here we are, still, yet again, waiting.

Hey PB, thanks for visiting me, and welcome back! I've missed you.
Glad you made it through tax time and had a good vacation.
Eeeks about that bill. I didn't remember what you had been doing last cycle, so i went back and did a little reseach. It really sucks that your cycle was cancelled because you had too many follies growing... I really relate to your situation (PCOS, and clomid did nada for me,) so I'm surprised that your RE had you on such a high dose of Folli.stim...
It's a bit of a frustrating, vicious cycle- follies aren't growing so we up the dose, and then they grow too much. Maybe next time you will have more success if you stim for longer but at a lower dose?
I know! I'm no RE, it's just my bit of assvice for today. I empathize with you whole heartledly, so I hope you don't mind me chiming in.
Best of luck whatever you and you hubby decide to do.
Glad you're back from your Bahamavention. The Bahamas should definitely set up a shared risk program. I just don't understand how it didn't work :-) I'm glad you had a good time.
The financial side of IF makes me ill when I think about it.
