CD 27 - crampy crampy crappy
No AF yet, but I have a feeling it's going to rear its ugly head any day now because I've been feeling mildly crampy the last few days 
Guess I should make the appointment now and move onto testing for me....way to ring in 2014

BFP 2: 7/7/2014 Beta 7/8: 115, Beta 7/12: 638, Beta 7/16: 3793, Beta 7/21: 21,625
Anyway, let's see what happens once I have testing done....
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
My Ovulation Chart
You know what sucks about all of this too....you go through every month just hoping and hoping that this month is your month, then nothing. And then people tell you 'don't worry so much/think about it', but it's so hard not to. I try to put all of this out of my head, but I just can't help it....I start thinking what if there really is a problem/what if there isn't - how long do I keep trying before I say fuck it and throw in the towel. I realize it hasn't been THAT long, especially after reading stories from other ladies here, and believe me when I say that I really feel sorry for each and every one of you that has had to deal with issues even if I don't reply to all threads on here, I do read them and I feel so very sorry when I see what you guys go through. My H & I are almost at the year mark, and for me, just because of my age (39), I'm now trying to figure out how long should I keep trying before moving onto other options (such as adoption). I would go the other routes, but my insurance doesn't even pay for that and I'm afraid to throw money at something that isn't even a sure thing with success rates - exception being clomid. I'd rather adopt a child who needs a loving home with people who would love them as their own.
Anyway, sorry for my rambling, just feeling somewhat emotional today.....I think I need some wine for my whine....

Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
It didn't cover the testing before, which is why I put off testing (should have done it at the 6 month mark) because I wanted to see if there would be any changes in my plan for the new year. It doesn't cover treatments at all, but it seems that testing is now covered because it is under a blanket umbrella of bloodwork/preventative care/etc. So I guess the whole Obamacare thing, for all of its problems, has helped for some things. What was really frustrating this year was the fact that I switched OB/GYN because the one I was seeing for years just started to really go downhill with the level of care (or lack of), but then the new one I went to did absolutely nothing in terms of testing - at all. Referred me straight away to a fertility clinic. The minute I would have even set foot into that clinic, nothing would be covered. Oh yea, and initially when I contacted the clinic, they said absolutely ZERO about testing - only treatment. I still genuinely don't know if there is even a problem, so how are you going to talk about treatment when you need to do testing to see if there is even a problem first? I'm in NY, so I almost expect this - everyone here only sees $$$ before anything else.
Yea, so my one friend recommended her doctor to me and he does all testing in his office - initially I had reservations about seeing a male doctor, but I have nothing to lose at this point and just want to have someone figure out what, if anything, is the problem and not have to pay out the ass to do it....
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
Yea, it's not like I'm opposed to treatments, it's just that I don't have 20k to just drop on that, and then what if that didn't even work? I have a friend who has done multiple IVF treatments and who knows what else (I didn't even ask), spending thousands of $, only to have no success and she's about to do it again, but is dipping into 401k to cover the cost. I feel bad for her because I know she would be a great momma, but I just can't imagine having to go through this and then have it not even work. It's hard enough to have issues getting ku naturally, let alone having treatments not even work.
What sucks even more and this is a whole other separate thing that totally just pisses me off - my BIL and his wife are also actively trying, have been having issues (which, yes, it sucks and I feel sorry, sort of), and the wife has taken it upon herself to rub in my face the fact that her insurance not only covers testing, but treatments as well. She is the only person in my H's family that knows about our journey and the only reason I even said anything was because I felt bad after she had her 3rd loss - so I stupidly opened my mouth about our 'issues' hoping that in some way it would make her feel better. But, I realized very quickly - she doesn't want comfort - she wants attention. I realize this sounds wrong, but it is true about her the more I've gotten to know her. I mean, this is a person who had 2 full weddings (to my BIL obv). The entire family knows about her issues, friends of the family know, people in the church know - everyone knows. So ever since I stupidly opened my mouth, she texts me with news about her. I am sorry if this makes me sound like a bitch, because I really am not, but I delete her texts - especially when she texted me the 'good news that her insurance covers everything.' I should probably be posting this in the FFFC thread, btw....
