After reading a couple of comments from my last post (Thank you ladies), I decided to go ahead and do this cycle. I think moving during my 2ww would be a great way to keep my mind off of things.
I need to be honest here, I also want to do this next cycle because I have had four friends announce their pregnancies this week. Every announcement was more heartbreaking for me than the last. I am truly excited for all of them, I just wish I was a step closer to being called mommy. There are no amount of bills I can pay off or Caribbean vacations that I take that will satisfy this deep seeded need of having a child. Sometimes I start thinking about delaying my next IUI out of the fear of the physical, mental, and financial consequences associated with having a child as a SMC. I just have to continue to remind myself that problems always seem to work themselves out. So in the end I decided "Game on" or as a good friend told me "Suit up!" I should start my cycle around the 26th and I am so pumped for it (never thought I would say that about my period). Is anyone else cycling next month?
Just a little side question, has anyone else gained gobs of weight after being on clomid or gonal-f? I gained 12 lbs last month (I'm still working to lose them) and it all seems to be in my boobs, which is the last place I need excess weight.

Glad to hear you made a decision...here's hoping this will be your last cycle for a while!
Yes, I've gained about 10+ lbs since my 1st Clomid round in March...it's disheartening since I have been eating a lot healthier plus exercising...
Love the "suit up!" comment! So great you are trying with your next cycle. (I can relate to the "ugh, another missed egg opportunity" when I had to delay ttc for a couple of months)
Good luck with the move--sounds like the bigger place will be worth it when you have your baby! I'll be starting to try next month--probably a couple of weeks after you.
Hey! First, you are such an awesome blog-land friend. Thanks for checking in on me during my self-imposed isolation period!
Secondly, yes, I did gain weight during clomid, but that's because I like to eat. I can't blame anyone but myself.
Sending you good vibes - can't wait to hear more and am glad you're still trying!
