It never gets easier

Well, my 2WW turned into a 1WW (one week wait) I found out Monday that I am not pregnant.

We've decided that it's time to take a break from treatments. I'm going to focus on treating my endometriosis naturally, with diet, vitamins, etc.

Thank you all for all of your support

I'll catch you up

I'm kind of doing this all backwards, but bear with me, I'm a first time blogger ;)

I guess I should go back and explain what was supposed to happen this past month. There may be a little too much information here...I was to go through my first round of 'real' fertility treatments, which would have given me multiple eggs/chances at getting pregnant. All throughout this time, bloodwork and ultrasounds are being done to monitor my hormone levels and ovaries. So, I took the 5 days of Clomid, got bloodwork and everything looked perftect, so I was on the the injections. Not NEARLY as bad as I thought they were going to be. I did 2 days of the injections and had more bloodwork and ultrasound. The Dr. saw on the ultrasound that I had one large follical in my right ovary and a few smaller ones in the left and was concerned that the one large one would overpower the others, but had to wait for the results of the bloodwork to know for sure. A few hours later after getting bloodwork, I get a call that my estrogen level had skyrocketed and the treatments were basically cancelled. I was devistated, but am trying to remember that I really don't have control over everything, and thateverything happens for a reason. So, now, here we are, in the 2WW...

The 2WW

For anyone who doesn't know, 2WW is the Two Week Wait. The dreaded time for anyone who is trying to conveive between when you could have gotten pregnant to when you actaully find out if you did or not. It's a stressful time filled with hope, excitement, anxiety and doubt, all at once. Having gone throug somewhere around 85 2WW's I'm realizing that it doesn't get easer, but harder each time. It's funny how the level of intesity of each of those feelings is usually always the same too, it never gets any easier.
