It took me a long time to feel comfortable sharing online, but I am so glad that I have. <br /><br />Every RE has a different protocal and it is so hard to know what is the best path to choose. It would be so much easier if there was a standard path that all RE's agreed on. No such luck for us infertiles!<br /><br />After waiting for SO LONG, I wanted to pull out the big guns when we finally had the chance to start trying. I used the OPK for 6 months when we still thought that BDing would work, before we got our azoos diagnosis, and was able to confirm that I do ovulate every month. I used them every morning first thing when I woke up. Even though I ovulate, we choose to do medicated IUI cycles to increase our chances. For me I wanted to do anything and everything that might get me pregnant as fast as possible. The emotional pain and trauma of each month that I am not pregnant is just not worth it to not give every month the very best chance. At least, that has been my philosophy. <br /><br />It is so sad how you talk about shutting friends and the world out. We've done the same thing. There are some friends who we have actively avoided because they have children. We've avoided so many other situations because I am just not strong enough to be out in public and have to field questions. I feel bad because no one knows why we are avoiding them, and even when we say that we are struggling with infertility it just doesn't mean anything to them. Reading other blogs has actually really helped me find the language to talk about our experience in ways that feel right to me. <br /><br />I DO hope that we are celebrating next year with our long awaited little ones.foxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482866425915180237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263103958688331790.post-58415115888372095242010-12-29T21:02:37.065-08:002010-12-29T21:02:37.065-08:00this post was SO not pointless.

Because what is the point of taking the same pics, just me and DH, year after year. <br /><br />Hope your IUI does the trick and you won't have to endure this heartache any longer.Cherbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439877443069132853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263103958688331790.post-82302882528061888422010-12-29T20:29:28.302-08:002010-12-29T20:29:28.302-08:00also, they can be used first thing in the morning!...also, they can be used first thing in the morning!E and Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11960045172275370437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263103958688331790.post-31098872951618197292010-12-29T20:28:33.253-08:002010-12-29T20:28:33.253-08:00Hi - I am a new follower of your blog and I too ha...Hi - I am a new follower of your blog and I too have had trouble with the OPKs - I did find one by clear blue easy that is digital and is an empty circle when negative but is a smiley face when positive. SO much easier and gives peace of mind that it is definitely positive.<br />Good luck!E and Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11960045172275370437noreply@blogger.com
