It's so hard to look at the whole list, isn't it? But we're definitely not alone.
here's hoping the list stops with #8! kinda crazy to see it all laid out like that, eh??
I have to compose my cycle history in a few days in preparation for meeting with a new RE and I'm dreading it. 14 tries over 2 years is so exhausting. You are not alone.
Definitely not alone! The months seem to fly right by when you live cycle to cycle!
I have so many problems that my cycle history is so short because I can't get past all the problems. :( I hope you see a BFP soon!
I think you're due for a BFP....now! I'm thinking of you.
Were you on BBC at the beginning of your attempts? I think I remember your picture. Our first cycle was September 2007 and I'm in the 2WW of our 8th cycle.
Good luck! hopefully #8 is good to both of us!
I can't wait to see this list end with a pregnancy. This has been a really long two years for you two and you have really duked it out through a lot of clomid cycles. I am waiting to see what new plan your RE is cooking up to help get this show on the road.
