Update
Insanely brief becuase I'm busier than anything at work, and can't work up the motivation to do this when I'm home on the weekend.
Winter is coming, and we have no windshield wipers, so the car is finally getting futzed with tonight. Fun with electricity! Hopefully we can get the oil changed too, and stop leaking so much from the damned filter. I'm going to try to (finally) clean the inside too.
I think I've figured out the problem with having babies; it's not that I'm infertile it's that I'm one of 10% of women who ovulate RIGHT AFTER their period. We're talking the day it drops to spotting. I'll get some ovulation pee sticks to confirm, maybe, but we'll see if having sex 2 weeks earlier helps at all. I'm also discontinuing the clomid, see below.
I've started having some nasty pain located in/near my ovaries. Seems a little coincidental that this pain I normally only have near my period is occurring in the middle of the month once I start fertility drugs. So I'm going to see my primary care, instead of the OB/GYN, and see if it's related or something else entirely.
I'm finally looking for a therapist of some flavor; it's been a few years and it can't hurt. Who knows, maybe they'll help me figure out how to enjoy life again. I realized yesterday that simple things don't give me pleasure anymore, not without some kind of major catalyst (alcohol, tons of sex, etc) to relax me and/or get the endorphins going. In short, I realized how truly miserable my day-to-day existence was, through no effect of my actual physical circumstances, and I'm fucking sick of it.
That's about it for now; hope everyone's been hanging in there.
