FAIL
I have called my doctor and reported the failure of round 2 of Clomid. She's going to see me on Dec 20th for a follow up and decide where to go from there. Until then, does anyone know how you go about getting a SA done? I'd like to have the results to take to that appointment if possible.
I had said we were going to take precautions so that I would not be due 2 weeks before our wedding. I have since decided that there's no need to take precautions. Obviously if it's not working while we are trying- it's certainly not going to happen if we don't try. Yes, some people say that it happens when you aren't trying- but I think that only applies if there are no "problems".
How do you decide when to finally call it quits? Obviously it hasn't been long enough to do that with the current information we have- but I've been trying to decide when 'enough is enough'. As I said before, there is the age gap with my 2. Even at this point, a baby would end up being pretty much an 'only child' in many aspects. I'm going to be 30 next year and while that's not old by any stretch of the imagination- it's old for my reproductive system. It's going to get harder and harder the older I get. Chop is 38, again- not ancient, but new studies show that male fertility does decline with age. Then there's money. How much can I afford to put out on something that may or may not happen before I feel bad that I could have spent it on the 2 kids that I do have? So far, I've only got $20 into it (2 rounds of Clomid) but anything after this could be expensive--as I am sure a SA is. If you stopped trying, how did you decide?
I can't say I was devastated this month, more annoyed. I pretty much figured it wasn't going to work. Ya know, one of those gut feelings. Or maybe I'm getting so used to BFN's that I'm not even a POAS addict anymore. I didn't POAS even once this month.
See ya in December!
