June 30th

The doctor called! This only after Keith pretty much stormed the office with a bombardment of telecommunications. There's only so much a guy can take in the way of suspense when it comes to these sorts of matters, and he had just about taken all he could.

But, as he has liked to declare in the past, his boys can indeed swim. So, we are on to Stage 1 of infertility treatments a la Indiana, which is Clomid for six months and then re-evaluate.

This is a huge weight off my mind. I did not want to go straight to artificial insemination, though I would have. This way we can just boost the chances of pregnancy by upping the amount of eggs I produce monthly. There is about an eleven percent chance of twins with Clomid, which is not much compared to other infertility drugs, drugs which are normally used in conjunction with IVF.
