Where we are...

TTC#1 cycle 9. sigh

It is a strange place to be I feel. We have not been trying half as long as some but longer than most who have not had any diffaculties. We are that the point where friends say "oh it took us this long to get pregnant" and we have surpassed them all, not including the ones who went on to fertility treatments of course. I have 8 cycles of charts, 6 months of CBEFM use, 1 normal HSG, 1 questionable SA, 13 pregnant friends, and a partridge in a pear tree to show for it.

I think we can officially say...Houston we have a problem! And so we have made our first RE apt for November. I thought I would be ok with that. Look at it from the medical point of view. Find out where the problem is and fix it. Turns out not so much. I put alot more into this past failed cycle than I thought. I had my HSG and hey lots of women get pregnant after their HSG because it cleanses the tubes, even if they really did not have any blockages. The OB doing the test even threw that out there for me to hang on to. I chose not to look at the stats showing a very mildly increase in fertility s/p HSG and rather at the cover of People with Trista Sutton who got pregnant immediately after her test. Because isn't People where we should get our medical info from after all. So instead of calculating due dates and figuring out how close my baby would be in age to my friends children, I instead am hoping on the bitter bus and taking it to buy lots of baby shower gifts for other people.
