AF Again!

Well, today was the day I could test, but it looks like AF has spared me the drive to the office for bloodwork. She showed up today finalizing my failure on Clomid. Now I have to get an ultrasound to check my ovaries before starting on the injectibles. Then if my ovaries are not still stimulated from the Clomid, I start injectible meds. I guess I have mixed feelings about this. My inability to get pregnant on Clomid even though I was producing good follicles, doesn't give me much confidence in the injectibles, I mean, all they do is produce more follicles, so how is that going to help. However, it's a new drug and a new protocol, and I heard that sometimes the injectibles produce better quality eggs, so that gives me some hope. I'm just so scared that this will fail too.

I have decided to give the injectibles a better chance, and have made my very first acupuncture appointment. It's a bit scary, since this is a Dr. that I don't know, and he'll be sticking needles in me, but he's an MD from China, and is an instructor at the Acupuncture school, so he knows what he's doing. It's just scary. I hope it works.

We have one more development. DH got an offer for a job in Houston. We are heading out there to see Houston. It's a good offer, and we'd be making more money, and the cost of living is lower in Houston than in Cincinnati, and it would give me another year to try to get pregnant before going to school. However, that would mean giving up my spot in the CRNA program here in Cincinnati, leaving my job, and making all new friends in Houston. It's a tough call. I guess the trip to Houston might make the decision more clear, either we'll love it our hate it.
