A badge for those waiting?

You can tell me if this is a silly idea....but anyone out there with me that has no idea WTF they're doing??? 

 I mean, you want to cycle but maybe you dont....you might adopt or you might do another IVF??  If you do another IVF cycle again, you may try DE or maybe just try OE one more time. You might get back into this in a few months, maybe next year.

Awww who the hell knows, LOL

I was thinking we could have our own little check in :)  

Maybe we could be called the Indecisive IVF'ers of 2013 :)   Haha Party!!!

I like this idea =) I seem to remember that there was a non-IVFers check-in at some point?

We're [personally] not all that indecisive though, just stubborn!
My Ovulation Chart
TTC with MFI and poor ovulation since 03/11
TCM and progesterone supplements
Early loss in 08/11
MFI Dx in 03/12 Low count, low motility, poor morphology and high levels of anti-sperm antibodies
Treated with supplements and TCM. Much lower on all factors. Count too low to test for anti-bodies
Met with new urologist 11/12
IUI #1 12/12: Letrozole + Gonal-F = BFN
DH started Clomid 01/13
New SA shows 33 million sperm! Thank you Clomid!!!
Discovered I am hypothyroid 04/13 waiting for specialist appointment
Hoping to try IUI again in July?

Was there a check in? I don't recall but I could have just missed it...

And yes, stubborn is a good word I just was trying to stick with alliteration, LOL  but stupid IF gives too many options and decisions. Its like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book where I want to go to page 35 AND 72 to see which outcome I like better!!

I totally used to do that!

I think the check-in was quite awhile ago though, like last spring or early summer maybe? (I only got here March of last year, so I don't know if it was a regular thing.)

I like it!  We haven't started treatments yet, but still fit in as "waiting."
