TEBB

Isn't it funny how quickly you catch on to fertility language. :)  I got my computer out to put my detective skills to use after noticing 3 days of brown bleeding at the end of my period this past week.  It's not uncommon for me to have a day here or there at the beginning or end but not usually 3 days.  So I, of course, got stuck online reading all kinds of other in/subfertile blogs.  I can't even say how much their example and honestly helps me in my own journey.  For example, Mom & Then Some inspired me to go ahead with surgery last October after reading her trials.  Others have inspired me to ask more specific questions, look into vitamins and prayers etc.

My current theory is maybe it's some kind of infection for either me and/or Hubs.  I was strep-B positive at the birth of #1 and never got the antibiotics (labor went quickly) and Hubs tests showed some minor inflammation that no one seemed to bat an eye at.  I was told that we should keep with the Clomid/Prog, etc process for 2 more months and then we'll reconsider with fresh eyes.  So I'll have to bring up questions but know that we may not get to answering them for a little while.

My job- fertility detective

Well, I've had 4 effective cycles as of about a week ago.  That means that we've had 4 months of all conditions being right to conceive and it just not happening.  My hope that there was one small thing in the way that needed dealt with is slowly disappearing.  I can't believe it's still there at all after a year and a half of trying, surgery endless vitamins and lots of hormones...  I spend a good part of each day playing detective, trying to think of absolutely anything that may explain why I'm not getting pregnant.  My big frustration is that I can't see any issues.  My charts and mucus signs look great, my PMS isn't bad, no brown bleeding, etc.  I'm left wondering what is really going on.  That's why I jumped at surgery last year and that didn't find anything big red flags either, although it took care of some troubling things (mild endo and a cyst on one tube).

I don't know if I'll ever stop googling everything under the sun to see if there's some magic bullet or pill or issue that's causing all this.  WHAT is the invisible perpetrator!
