This month has been
a mess, even in the blog you can probably tell that my head has been
all over the place. Do we try something new? Do we keep trying
naturally? Do we go back to Clomid? Stop charting? Keep charting? I
certainly feel all over the place. So I wanted to be honest with you
and explain what has been going on in my head, aside from confusion.
I'm getting
desperate, May was supposed to mean a new beginning, although we
miscarried our little May baby, which was every sort of devastating,
I was so sure that we would be pregnant again by now (I don't know,
after over 2 years ttc, why I would think it would happen quickly
this time?). Everything was (and still is) regular but as we are
heading to 6 months without success I'm starting to feel defeated
again. I know I am young and that there is still time but I feel like
I am stuck in this middle ground. Not pursuing things because “if I
get pregnant I can't do this”, not doing things because “I might
be pregnant” and yet I keep holding onto the knowledge that Clomid
worked last time so I can always try that again. But every month that
passes I feel like a failure and it feels like I am wasting my time
waiting since I'm not getting pregnant anyway. I know ultimately it
will all be worth it, I know that everything we have come through
will be worth it when we are holding our baby but this is still so
hard to go month to month without any success.
So after spending
the last month debating between trying Clomid, continuing naturally,
and attempting things that bounce around the TTC community. We have
decided to meet with my OB next month and go back on Clomid. We will
be going back to the same dose that we got pregnant on last year and
although I am nervous to go through the side effects that the double
dose of Clomid did to me last year I am excited that it will work
again and we might be pregnant. I also have to acknowledge that we
may not get pregnant on Clomid again and that means waiting for the
reproductive specialist to decide that I'm a priority which my OB
warns may not happen for a while considering my age. It sucks
thinking that this could mean putting actively trying to conceive
behind me for a while, moving my focus away from becoming a Mom but
at the same time it means I can move forward which I don't
feel like I can right now.
We will still be
trying this cycle, I see my OB on June 4th and of course
there is a chance we could be pregnant but I am preparing to go back
to Clomid this summer. Interesting note, every time I have started
Clomid it has been in the summer 2011, 2012 and now 2013. Hoping that
we will have our 2014 baby one way or another!
xo, Anne.
