May due dates, our TTC'ers, and new members

For our TTC members, how is the journey going? Need to vent, cry,
yell
a bit? Feeling hopeful? Into the 2ww?

I'm on cd6 on cycle #684321654 or maybe even #684321655 ... I ovulated
just fine the last two cycles, thanks to yet another exercise in
patience (i.e. a month on bc pills). For this cycle, I'd been hoping to
use some form of ovulation induction to O predictably and do an IUI, but
my new gyn seems to think I'm the ovulatory poster child and don't need
any meds. Not sure I'm too happy with that - though it makes for a nice
change after the gazillions of docs who insisted I had to take
cortisone!
Next Monday (cd13), I'll have a test call gas perturbation which will
check whether my tubes are open or not. I'm completely unconcerned about
this, though, I can't imagine any major blockages - never had any pelvic
inflammations, not even a UTI (I know, not really related), no surgery
of any kind (i.e. no scar tissue), no chlamydia, nothing. But maybe
there's some minor thing that's keeping me from getting pg, so it's a
good test to have. And my gyn won't do any treatments before checking
tubes anyway.

I'll have a chat with my doc during the perturbation whether we couldn't
try to get an IUI in on this natural cycle somehow. I still have lots of
problems with cervical mucous (even though I'm on estrogen tablets to
improve things), and I'm worried that the combination of "bad mucous"
and a very variable, slightly low sperm count keeps me from getting pg
unless we do IUI. Oh, and our health system is being reformed, and it
looks like IF coverage goes from 100% to 50% on 1 Jan 2004 - yet another
reason to get pg this year! :-)

Yep. Not feeling hopeful this month like I did last month.

FWIW this is exactly why a friend of mine didn't get pregnant with her
first child for about 3 years. It was their second IUI cycle that was
successful. I hope if you do get to go that way it works as well for
you.

Thanks :-) That's the sort of stuff I needed to hear!
