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…

Your charts are super cool - my cycle tracking is a scribble in the bottom of my diary ;)

Here's hoping you get a miracle pretty soon honey!

What a pretty "birds and the bees" chart! Good luck!

GeekByMarriage said...

Good luck and I agree those are some great chart graphics!

Cassandra said...

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

Emmy said...

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!

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!

Was just coming over to see how you did the charts. Will have to check out WebMD.

Hope the natural IUI works for ya! :-) Lot cheaper on the pocketbook too. By the way, who says pocketbook.... man, I need to work on my lingo.

I am going to cross my fingers, toes, arms and eyes that having sex at the "right time" works for you this cycle!

HUGS
