Hey everyone, it's been a long time since I posted here but I've been trying to keep up with the thread when I have time. Sounds like a lot has happened, both good and bad. It's now been officially 9 months since I stopped my treatments and decided to take a break from it all. I was hoping something would happen naturally by now, but dang I just turned 35 last month and I am starting to panic. I know time is running out.
I will probably go see an RE soon if I can work up the nerve to do it. The thought of endless appointments and tests again just makes me want to cry, and insurance won't cover much more than what I've already done, so part of me is like "why bother," you know? Plus everything was putting a strain on our marriage for a while, too. I just have to decide how far I'm willing to go with the TTC business, how much I'm willing to sacrifice.
Chloe: I'm so sorry to hear about your news. That is awful.
kurby: My brother is 8 years younger than me and we are really close, always have been. My husband has a brother 1 year younger than him, and another 3 years younger, and they have never been close, and rarely speak. Their personalities just don't mesh that well. So if you want another child, don't be discouraged by time gaps. They don't necessarily mean what you think. Also, I'm not overweight and STILL can't get pregnant, so even losing weight isn't a guarantee in the crazy world of infertility. I know plenty of overweight friends who had no troubles getting and staying pregnant.

I will keep you in my prayers!
It has been a crummy week for us ladies. I went onto 
. Hopes were dashed this month but we will start again and things will get better!!
She was lovely and gave me her extension as well so that after I see the Dr. in September the BCBS lady told me to call her so she will tell me how much is covered and also explain more if I need it. She was very sweet.
