Secondly… bewitching?? That is the single most fabulous adjective ever used to describe me! I will now love you forever… I will be sure to use this in the future… “Attila… will you please rub my feet… aren’t I bewitching?”.

Thirdly, “…we are all so massively relieved to have found this community that we are terrified of losing it…” Yes!!! That’s it! A fear of loss!

I’d say two miscarriages and not ovulating pretty much qualifies you. Of course I’m going to hate you if you get pregnant, but if you got pregnant with IVF I’d hate you too, so that’s nothing to worry about.

I hope the side effects go away quickly for you.

I truly hope Metformin works for you with few side effects that quickly vanish. And now that I have found your blog, I will continue to read it religiously even after babies start shooting out of your nethers.

Back to my point. I have recently begun with an RE, after making the useless and frustrating tour with a “special” GYN. There is a suspicion of endometriosis with a lap forthcoming and I am fervently enjoying Clomid now. Knowing that endometriosis will return after a lap, I am kicking around the idea of skipping the IUI ride myself; yet I, too, feel guilty. Rationally I know that feeling guilty as I gvie myself injections is dissonant, but nonetheless, the feeling remains.

I agree with Wessel I don’t read you because you are if I read you because you are funny.

As for being “IF worthy,” my dear, you are anovulatory. That is a significant infertility problem. Even if you get pregnant after a couple of months of Metformin, your story will help someone, somewhere, who has the same problem. Aside from that, you will keep readers because your writing is funny and engaging. Don’t worry about that.

I’m a comment addict too, and it has taken me well over a year to get the loyal readers that I have. I’d love to have a steady dose of 40-50 comments per entry, rather than my average of about 12 per entry. But honestly, I could not handle getting 200 or 300 comments as some of the more popular bloggers get. No thanks! That would make me so tired and I probably wouldn’t read them all anyway.

Saving the best for last: your cat Lennie. I love this story! I love this cat! Especially the part about him accompanying you to the bathroom. He just loves you so much, you know. Poor guy sounds like he is hallucinating a bit. Well, you know, maybe he is just bored and is really very smart rather than crazy, demonstrating that he knows how to entertain himself with his imaginary bugs.

To Lindy, I must be interpreting your comment wrong. Clomid disqualifies a person from being an IF??? I don’t buy that.

I do agree that some have to deal with more than others. That’s why I put Tertia’s Pain olympics and LAF’s Pain Points in my ‘to keep’ folder. It isn’t because I have a rediculously low score on pain points that I’m any less IF.
Alexa, I advise you not to make a tally of your ‘pain points’, because even though you’re ‘just on Metformin’ now, you have already accumulated a respectable score. The pain points are just a metaphor, all I want to say is that you have nothing to feel guilty about.

I whole-heartedly wish that this treatment works for you. And I’m sure the rest of your readers do too, especially the more seasoned IF’ers.

I don’t read your blog because you’re having fertility troubles; I read because your writing is excellent, and the more of it I read, the more I like you.
