Welcome ICLWers!

Welcome ICLWers!  This is my first time participating and I’m excited to find new blogs to follow! 
As the title of my blog suggests, I am just another endo girl trying to make a baby in the arctic.  I blog about the rollercoaster called infertility, sometimes I get down in the dumps but I try hard to get back up as quick as possible.
Here is a quick recap of the last 2 years…
Dropped the BC, laughed about baby names, cried every time AF showed, had endo surgery, Dx with stage 3 endo, cried some more, tried clomid, went gluten and dairy free, tried acupuncture, tried IVF, found out my ovaries are old.
The old ovaries thing is new.  I found out last Tuesday that I wasn’t responding to IVF meds very well.  Tuesday was a very bad day but I’ve been able to find some light in the darkness.  Blue, my fabulous hubby, and I are going to Europe for three weeks starting next week and I plan to eat as much pasta, cheese and wine as I can get my hands on. 
I hope you’ll follow me on this crazy ride and I hope I make you laugh along the way.

    I'm so sorry you've received yet another bit of bad news regarding baby making. I hope your trip to Europe provides some much needed escapism.

    Hi there Im sorry to hear such news...yes dam endo and ovaries...I have low ovarian reserve but this is due to endo and surgeries does not necessarily mean they are old? Im sorry your body did not respond to the drugs..my body did not respond well to Gonal F ie FSH drugs then my FS has given me instructions for every 3 day pregnyl shot to accelerate ovaries a bit more and I got a reading over 800 yesterday...not too sure if thats something you can try
