Did you know a "healthy" couple only has a 20-25% chance of conceiving each month? I swear when we were in junior high and high school we were led to believe it was like 100% Yeah... well that is NOT the case! Then throw into the mix some male and female "issues" and your odds go down from there. Not what I wanted to hear today.... but something I needed to here.

We started this journey slow and tried to take the least invasive and least expensive route. It has been an up and down battle. Had a new doctor today who I actually liked very much. Seemed very down to earth and explained things slowly and in detail. In fact, J asked a few questions... that is a miracle in itself!!!

So the news this cycle was I have two follicles growing but neither are big enough yet. This may be a "dump" cycle. I lost it briefly in the room then composed myself as J took the stethoscope placed it on my chest and said "Oh my are you alive?". He did bring a smile to my face.

We'll play the waiting game this weekend and see how the body responds.... hopefully my follicles will grow and we can "try" again this cycle. Of course this means we also get another $200 sonogram on Monday.... so lucky me instead of needing 2 (a baseline and mid-cycle) I'll have had 4 this month.

Could I just be normal?
