This is about my struggles in Trying to Conceive our first child. I am no longer going to do this in silence. Hopefully this helps others along the way as well. God Answers Prayers, just not in the timing I always like.

Clomid Journey #1....


Well, I am on Day 97 of this cycle. I am calling it the never ending cycle. I have had the Ultra Sound stuck up my hooha so many times in the last 3 weeks I think I need to ask what its intentions are, and remind it that I am married.

We had decisions to make. Do I take Provera, and then start the clomid? Or do I just start the clomid? My Dr decided we could just start the clomid right away. So on 7/3 I took 50 mg for five days, and now I am sitting here waiting. No indication on my chart that I ovulated, and tomorrow I go to see if there are any follicles. Since my temps haven't gone up, I am pretty sure that I haven't Ovulated, and tomorrow I will taking an Ovidrel shot to trigger ovulation. Oh joy!

As for side effects. Haven't really had any. My headaches and nausea are typical. My IBS issues typical. Hot flashes, there are probably more than usual. Cramping, ok it is mild and more constant, and has eased since taking the last pill. Other than that I am feeling great. Relaxing, enjoying the summer for the week with my cousin. Exploring L.A. for cheap and doing things I haven't done before while living here. In all, I am just really enjoying my time off.

What will happen next? I don't know, but for once in the last few months I think there is a glimmer of hope.
