So this is a quick update. Running has changed me. I am running a half marathon in September, Ragnar Relay in November and who knows what else in between. I have lost 10 plus pounds since the start of this blog. Its amazing what infertility drugs do to your body. I think part of my problem last cycle was the drugs. I was a mess. Running is clearing my head, slowly. I still struggle A LOT with my infertility but running helps. I am thinking of ending this blog and putting all my efforts into a running/infertility/life in general blog. This one is so depressing and every time I sit down to write I just want to whine and oh poor me and have a big pitty party. The other blog would be more about running with the occational infertility talk because it is not what defines me, I cant let it be. I so badly want someone to say "oh you poor thing, you've tried for so long and spent so much money, here is $30k, go get another round of treatments". But I dont think that is going to happen. Im sick of feeling sorry for myself, sick of doctors letting me down, sick of no one giving a shit, just sick of it all. See, pitty party again. Everyone elses infertility blogs are happy and hopeful. Its hard to be hopeful when you have few options and you've been doing this for so damn long!
But speaking of options, I am getting acupuncture every week and get this, after one treatment my period went back to normal. I am also taking Dang Gui which is an herb that is supposed to help the female parts. It is hard to believe that natural treatments can help blocked tubes BUT it has helped people in the past, who knows. I cant give up hope.
