I think that I am on cycle 14 now. I can't even remember. All I know is that it has been a heck of a long time. I decided to give Clomid plus Metformin a one cycle chance and, if that doesn't work, move on to insemination on my last Clomid cycle. Rachel will be leaving to go to New York at the end of this month (so sad) so it will be easier to focus on insemination and all the appointments related to it then.
We had a different leader at our RESOLVE meeting last weekend who, when noting my pessimism and Paul's optimism, talked about positive imagery and its impact on fertility and fertility treatment as she learned from the book "Getting Around the Boulder in the Road: Using Imagery to Cope with Fertility Problems" by Dr. Aline Zoldbrod. I found this very interesting but, as of yet, have been unable to get my hands on a copy of the book as it is out of print. However, from the little bit she told us, I am trying to be more positive and think of in terms of "when" I get pregnant, not "if". I also am trying not to assume that each cycle has failed and therefore look toward the next step. (I am obviously not doing well at that part since I just mentioned my next steps earlier in this blog!)
