Cycle Trails

Infertility is a journey where one cannot claim the universality of ‘As you sow, so shall you reap’.

This is the first cycle since January when I am proactively in the race. Prior to this, I was only worked about the impending arrival of AF, and how many days late or early it is/ was/ could be.

We had sex. We did not have sex. And I cared two hoots about when that happened in the previous cycles.

And even though I did not harp on CD this and CD that for the current cycle, everything was virtually chalked out.



[That's my beautiful chart...Click for a larger view of my intimate life.]


So, as of now I am in the 2ww (what a joke!). We have timed our lovemaking to specifically coincide with my fertile period.

Let’s see how the natural IUI works out *smiling*. I plan to do this again for at least one more cycle and then just go for an ovulation study (yippee dildo cams).

Since I have had one of the ovaries exhibit a single cyst before, and I have not had an ultrasound in months (do I see jaws dropping?), I do not know what is going on down there…

I am just keeping my blind faith in the knowledge that I never did have ovulation troubles. And that 2008 investigations had revealed nothing wrong with my ovarian reserves.


I am slowly getting back on track…

  6. The bees and flowers motif is much more fun than the spreadsheets that I always used for charting.

  7. It really is too bad that getting pregnant doesn't work in the "you reap what you sow" way. I think the world might be a better place if it did!

    Great charts!

  9. Good luck on this cycle! No jaw-dropping over here. There is something to be said for trying to make a baby without the help/interference of strangers. No matter how hopeless it may seem sometimes!
