Our Fertility Journey

A friend of mine had told me to take my temperature and chart it every morning because when she had started trying to have kids she wasn't able to get pregnant right away so she went to her doctor and the doctor wanted her to take her temp for 6 months and chart it before they did anything else. That was hard for her because 6 months feels like forever when you are trying to conceive. SHe had reccomended I just go ahead and chart. We went on our trip to Italy where we had planned on starting to try and conceive. We did not understand the small window of time. We had the timing WAY OFF for the first few months.
After trying for 6 months I went to my gynocologist. She did an internal ultra sound and blood test and found nothing out of the ordinary. I have never had any issues with my cycle or period. So I was in shock when month after month I was not getting pregnant. My doctor put me on Clomid. And still no luck.
A friend of mine reccomeneded I got to the Endocrinologist who had helped her get pregnant after she had 3 IUI's. We went through all of the wonderful test and then tried 3 IUI's w/ clomid. He had said our next step would be injectibles with the IUI. Unfortunately I had become an emotional wreck and decided I needed a break and needed to lose weight.
Unfortunately our health insurance changed before I could return. We had been very lucky to have great coverage and now it was gone- I was beyond devistated because we don't make a lot of money and we would not be able to afford this w/out insurance.
March of 2007 I decided I wanted to lose weight. I also decided to try accupuncture. I managed to lose 40lb and felt really great. I only had 25 more lbs and I would be at my goal. Without warning my gym closed and work became increasingly stressful, my mother became ill and I allowed life to derail me. I have now regained all of that weight. In January I became unemployed and decided that I would use this opportunity while looking for a job to get myself back in shape. I have no excuses anymore.
I have wondered if I am afraid of what will happen if my weight is no longer and obstical for my fertility. What if it isn't the problem? Well I will never know if I don't try. At the very least I will feel better.
