Beth is Chris' wife. Turns out they're having some really similar fertility issues to Matt and me.
In light of all that, I thought I'd bring you up to date on the whole battle. I finished my first round of Clomid and patiently took my temperature every morning. It's supposed to spike about a half-degree or so when you're ovulating. In addition, I peed on a stick every night for five nights. (When is someone going to make an ovulation and/or pregnancy test that doesn't involve me getting urine all over the place? Jesus H. Christ...) The results? Nothing. No egg made it into the end zone.
My doctor said that was a likely thing. He said that when people have ovulation problems, the first round of Clomid doesn't usually work. I guess you have to build up the right hormones or something. Knowing that, I'm not too disappointed, but...still...
I hate hearing those, "I have a friend whose sister had the exact same problem, but she did *fill in the blank* and it worked right off the bat!" I have no expectation of "right off the bat." I believe my bat is lost in the Depo-Provera induced limbo of forgotten hormone production. Seriously. I think Depo, which I took for years to combat my endometriosis, shut down the works. Now I just hope that additional hormone supplementation can bring it all back around.
Anyway, luck to Chris and Beth, and everyone else out there dealing with fertility problems. And us.
