Aftermath

It's been a little over a week now and things are getting back to normal. Last week we went camping in Harper's Ferry, WV and had a great time just spending time together and relaxing. The dogs I think were the most happy of all. Fudge was positively giddy about being outside. We cooked on the campfire, made s'mores, swam, hiked...all that kind of good stuff. We had a few sad moments, particularly when we went to the outlet mall and were looking at baby stuff. Saturday was another hard day...We basically stayed home all day and read/watched TV. Nothing else. I think now that we're looking on to our third try the pain will lessen a bit. It's just so frustrating to have to deal with all of this.

Our plan this time is to use natural fertility boosters/light remedies for common fertility problems. In addition to her prenatal vitamin, Megan is taking low-dose aspirin, vitex, and evening primrose oil (EPO) supplements before ovulation. After ovulation, she'll drop the EPO and use progesterone cream instead. We're hoping that will do the trick so we don't have to see the doctor about things. Megan realllllllly doesn't want to visit the doctor. She truly hates them and prefers to control her own health...funny that I'll be a doctor one day soon...

Anyway, with a little luck, Megan will ovulate this weekend and we'll be back in the game. Here's to hoping that this will be our last try!
