act ii. decision making, temping, IUIs, clomid, anovulation, low ovarian reserve, age, more family and life drama, IVF attempt number one aborted after no response to heavy meds ( 1.5yrs)
Intermission
(Heavy servings of gingersnap lattes, carbohydrates, shoe throwing, anger, misery, therapy, blaming, acceptance, adoption research)
act iii. donor eggs on the table, bcps, starting Lupron tonight for trial cycle, picking donor, baseline u/s and b/w on Friday ( 1 month)

Nice Intro! It's my second ICLW too!

I too am familiar with the need for just STOPPING this fertility train and taking a detour. It is hard to live it day in and day out, all the drugs making you feel like PMS on steroids (literally!)!
I look forward to hearing more of your story and hope you can finally get off these tracks and onto a new path of parenthood.
(Metaphor much?)

I love anything ginger snap, lattes, scotland and sadly sperm catalogues (just in case we need assistance). My fave is California cryobank's donor of the month which hubby and I read occasionally as bed time reading!
