Drugs!

We had a follow up appointment at the clinic yesterday. The doc was dismissive about my concerns about the tests being done too early in my cycle. Guess I have to take his word for it...? So, he has recommended a 6 month course of fertility boosting drugs and some other drugs to improve mucus quality. Apparently, if it's going to work it will usually work in the first 6 months. Eeek! I have a further invasive procedure to look forward to within the first cycle. Nice.
Needing 'help' doesn't make me feel particularly feminine. And I didn't expect to be needing treatment, even though we have been trying for 17 months now.
To be honest, there is so much going on in our lives at the moment - redundancy, starting a new business, home improvements, potentially selling up or renting our house and moving overseas temporarily - that this feels like just another addition to the list of variables.
