Sometimes I really just want to quit trying. I haven't started AF yet but I feel like I do every other month around this time. Should be starting towards the end of next week. It's really hard to stay positive in situations like this. We still don't know definitively why we are ot conceiving. I have a wonderful fiance who has continued to support me and our efforts but he will never understand from a woman's perspective. I find myself feeling totally hopeless. Thsi is one of those things over which...

The nurse already called this morning with my results; I was at an 8.5 and she said they like to see a 12. I was kind of prepared for a low reading but figured it would be because I believe I ovulated only about three days ago. However, she totally busted my bubble when she said to call when I start again so we can repeat the test.

So our computer crashed last week and I haven't been able to access the internet at all, so nice to have it back!

But I had the most wonderful staff! The nurse was great and talked and laughed with me the whole time. Then the doc and the woman that was assisting her came in and were just as much...

AF finally showed up (yesterday)! It's close enough to when I called the nurse that the results of the tests will not be affected. My fiance and I are excited - we are hopeful that the HSG will help us conceive and if not we will at least be closer to defining the problem and solving it! It has been a crazy week for both of us in our lives outside of TTC so this one bit of good news was warmly received!
