Well, AF is STILL not here and I swear she is just doing it to piss me off... I have spent a small mint on HPT in the last few years (today was just another addition to the BFN fund) and I think that she is getting kickbacks from EPT!
How can I get on the kickback bandwagon? I think that I should be able to get a small percentage of money back for every "lost" cycle... We all should... You hear that Mother Nature and AF... Show us the money!
Now, I am not saying ALL women get kickbacks, just us "lifers" who have the drug store on speed dial and they know us by name...
"Hiya , Mrs. Smith. Here for another stick to pee on? Golly gee whiz, Mrs. Smith, haven't you been in here like 20 time in the last three months? I think we have a frequent pee-ers program. Would you like to sign up?"
Someday we may get our BFP and we can turn in our "Infertile Myrtle" cards but until then, give us a break, will ya? Show us the money! Get me a lobbyist! Someone march on Washington! I don't care who gets it done, just get it done!

Trying to cope with TTC and all of life's other trials... "Have you had your meds today?" Pvb. 17:22
From My Mom
No flesh of my flesh,
No bone of my bone.
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for one single minute,
You didn't grown under my heart,
But in it.

May '00 - Married w/ mandated 3 year wait on baby ~ The only b/c used counting and CM checks
April '01 - I see the PCP, I can't stop gaining weight. I diet, eat right, nothing helps. I am healthy, stop worrying about it. I see the OB and question my long cycles, weight gain, facial hair. First love wand u/s; nothing. The doc says I am healthy, stop worrying.
June '02 - I again question the doc about my long cycles, missing periods, the 85 lbs. of extra weight in 4 years with a healthier diet. Why don't we need b/c? I am healthy, stop worrying
Aug '02 - I get the name of an OB from a friend ~ My hero. I ask about the weight gain, lack of periods, heavy periods, facial hair and why am I not pregnant we are careless not careful ~ PCOS, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Blood work to confirmed it, he Dx'd me in 3 minutes. I fall in love with my OB/GYN. :o) Metformin, chart for 4 months, come back. TTC officially begins.
March '03 - Ovulation? lol Clomid for the first time ~ 50 mg.
May '03 - 100 mg of Clomid - DH has really good s/a
June '03- 100 mg of Clomid, Metformin sucks, I become close friends w/ my toilet. Lose weight because that will help TTC. Try for a year; if no BFP, come back.
Aug '03 - Bad accident, 6 months to even have a bad sex life.
May '05 - Still struggling financially from the accident, I give up TTC. The heartbreak it is too much for me, No b/c
Feb '06 - My mother dies suddenly, the pain of her never being a grandmother is too much to handle, life is a bit out of control. I start therapy several months later
May '06 - Charting again, my PCP puts me on Actos for the PCOS and Welbutrin for depression.
Oct '06 - Go to Dr. Wonderful and w/ a plan. I am beyond his expertise; need to see a RE, PCOS specialty. I find WebMD and start learning more than I ever wanted to know about TTC and reproduction.

Jan '08 - S/A comes back worse, low testosterone ~ 25 mg of Clomid fix the problem, hopefully. Go back in 3 months for another s/a... TAB until May 2008, no prevention.
April '08 - BFP for two days, chemical preganncy after 100 day cycle. This sucked.
