injectibles

[Tandy]

that's the new thing my re recommended....i am ovulating but "not as well as [she] would like."

i am not sure what that means besides there must be better ovulations and not so great ovulations....

it is more than we can afford...

and my problem is being overweight due to psychotropic medications....

so i am inclined to go off the meds to lose weight....

does this make sense: if i am not getting pregnant bc i am overweight, than wouldn't pregnancy also be complicated or otherwise unpleasant??

i am thinking that i should concentrate more on the natural method of losing weight by doing things more wholistically than going in debt to induce "better" ovulation...

i am just having a hard time with the unnaturalness of it all....really....it's tearing me up....

i would appreciate any thoughts/suggestions/sharings....

Tandy - Sorry that your here. Infertility is awful.

Since your seeing an re I am guessing that you have already tried clomid. How did you respond to that? If you ovulated on it will your re let you try it again? Clomid is way cheaper than injectables.

My issue is an age thing (now I am 39). So I went to injectable iui's after 3 failed clomid cycles. Then after 3 bfn of injectable iui's, I have had 2 failed ivf's. Wow I guess I have been thru a lot. Was I scared and overwhelmed when I first saw the re? Big time. What I am doing still weighs heavily on me. I dream or did dream of having that "Oh I am pg and we were not even trying" moments. So I get that this is not the "natural"/journey any person would choose. But for me I chose it and focus daily on the positive and am thankful I have the choice to do this.

I agree that it is best to be healthy. Can you check with your doctor about the psychotropic medications and the weight gain? Infertility is stressful as you know. I have had my share of hitting the wall many times. From the cycling I have gained about 15 pounds. I just go up and down in my weight and moods. Really if you have a support group/doctor set up that knows what your going thru that will really help you get thru this.

Let me know about your ttc journey and what your re has checked you for. Maybe we'll have some ideas.
