Getting tired of the journey...

Posted 06-24-2009 at 05:40 PM by angelaiswordy
I started a profile on an infertility community website about a year ago, when I first started trying to get pregnant. In my profile, I wrote something like, "Ready to become a mommy and looking forward to the journey." I look back at that and realize I had no idea what I was in for. This has been a year of roller-coaster highs, each and every one followed by the crash of dissapointment.
Needless to say, after a year, (and a lot of drugs and cash) I am not pregnant. But I am exhausted.
I know there are many, many women out there who have been TTC much longer than a year, and my heart goes out to each of you.
Although I am new to this community, I have really gotten a lot from the posts I've seen so far. I'd like to say a general thank you for being willing to share such intimate details.
As for me, I'm 36 and have been on fertility treatments for about a year. I tried clomid, then clomid + Avandia, then injectibles (I hyperstimulated). I'm taking clomid again this month at higher doses (150mg) with Avandia twice a day to see if I will ovulate without hyperstimulating. If I manage to produce a follicle, I will have IUI next week sometime.
I have tried to focus on keeping my stress level down by doing yoga, eathing healthy, etc. I still fight with getting enough sleep, but I'm working on it.
The bright side: Most days are positive. Most days, I actually do not tear up when I see women carrying infants. Most days I really do enjoy my life. Then there are other days that aren't so easy.
I have decided I need to build a community of like-minded, supportive women who are struggling with PCOS and infertility. I don't have any friends in my area who can relate to what I'm going through. So if you're out there, and you need to talk, I'm all ears.
