That'd be the fat lady singing. AF is here wiht a vengence. I'll be calling the RE to beg him to let me do injectables again this month, even though he likes for us to wait between cycles. If nothing else I'll beg for clomid again, anything to not sit around another cycle.....

I hearing her loud and clear too. AF is a soprano all the way lol.

I once hated sitting out cycles just as you do. However even though time is running out, I now think a break is the best thing between cycles -- especially if you have PCOS. (I don't know if you do or not, but I do.) Too much meds = cysts for me. Also, if I take a break, my cycles are not as painful in regards to ovarian twinges.

Ask you doctor why you need a break. It might give you the best change to conceive. Overstimulated ovaries might not work as well.

Good Luck on future cycles.

I DO have PCOS, but do not have a problem with big cysts. The nurse initially told me when I started injectables in Jan that they do back to back cycles for teachers, since the summer is the only time they have off to do the u/s and stuff. All I can do is ask. It wouldn't be such a big deal, but my work trip in July is really messing me up. I can't change the dates I'm gone and I'm really tired of doing one cycle, sitting out 2 or 3 then trying again. I let my job interfere with ttc once (had to take 9 months off) and I don't want to do it again.

I'm just feeling really b****y right now. HOpefully that will go away before I have to go back to work tomorrow. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

You don't sound b****y. Your desire is very real. I didn't understand the conflict with your job. Once you tell your doc your work conflict, I think he should let you do another one.

I understand completely that waiting two or three months between ttc attempts is way too much. I had to wait three months because of bad health and cysts earlier this year. That wait was near impossible near the end. However, I do like one month breaks.

Sometimes, I feel stuck between ttc and my job. I don't want my job getting in the way of ttc, but I have to watch my attendance and make sure my work is always up-to-date to because I can't be without my job.

Good Luck this month and I hope AF leaves quickly for you.

Thanks Mindoo! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'm a lot less whiny now, probably the after effects of a good steak dinner and a couple of beers!

My job and I are at odds. My boss is SUPER about the whole thing, but I still have a job to do, and that involves traveling. I don't want to stick my co-workers with all the traveling, because we're losing people left and right and it's just not fair to them.

I feel like I've just had a crummy year. I spent 3 months pursuing a fantastic job opportunity, only to be offered the job in 2 cities that I couldn't take. One was Honolulu, I would love to move there, but couldn't afford to live there, since dh can't easily transfer with his job. The other city was LA, not even a consideration http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif I guess it just wasn't meant to be, but was still a huge heartbreaker, considering it started at 20K more than I make now!!!!!!!!! Now I've had 2 failed IUI's, lots of down time and much frustration. I think I'm just hoping things pick up for me here soon http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Anyways...I"m rambling yet again. Hope you ladies have a good week.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I just talked to the nurse. Not only is my RE on vacation for the next 2 weeks, but he's going to be on vaca in August, so my next cycle begins Labor Day weekend! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif WTF??????????

I could start a cycle on July 3, but since I'm leaving town on the 14th, it may not be long enough for me to get the IUI's in before I have to go and it's not worth spending $800 for the cycle to not be able to finish it. Now, if it goes only as long as my 1st 2 injectables cycles went, I'd have 1 day to spare and the 2ww I'd be out and about with a friend and it'd be an easy wait. However, what if I responded badly this time? Any ideas? Should I go for it? Or wait another damn 2 1/2 months to try again and hope that dh is in town?

Denise, being in such a similar situation w/ the traveling and stuff, I would probably go for it...go with your instinct whatever it may be. Good luck! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif

dknees..
you poor thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why do these sh***ty things continually happen to a great bunch of girls like this???????It isn't fair at all.
I would try in July if I were u..(only my opinion)
I had to skip out a cycle..but now am waiting til July. It is so frustrating!!!!!!It is so hard to plan around every thing too.......I told my hub the other day..that this really sucks not being able to plan a g**dam*** thing frm month to month.
You hang in there.. I wish I had something of comfort to say..cause I can relate.but u go with ur gut ......and u will find an answer.......I am here for u to vent anytime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u take good care!!!!!!!!! Annie
