So, as I mentioned, we are trying another cycle of Clomid. Dr. P called in 100 mg of it (up from 50, which I am weirdly pleased about). The way Clomid works is, you take it for 5 days in your cycle (either from day 3 through day 7 or from day 5 through day 9 – day 1 is the first day of your period, btw). Then you do your best to errrm, well, you know. Bow-chicka-boom-boom.<\/p>\n
Anyway. Seven days from the day you ovulate, you give a big scary vial of blood and they figure out how much progesterone you have this cycle (the higher the #, the better your chances were – talk about 20\/20 wisdom!). The funny thing to me is that Dr. P is really picky about just assuming that I ovulate on day 14 and, while it’s a good average, it’s not a definite for most women. I tried telling his nurse that I tend to ovulate earlier than that and it pretty much blew her mind. So, Day 21 it is!<\/p>\n
Today is that day. Typically I see Dr. P after giving blood but he couldn’t fit me in so I am seeing him Friday. (Tomorrow and Thursday are payroll days so who the hell has time for obstetrics or gynecology? There is minimum wage to obsess over!)<\/p>\n
So, if today is Day 21, then next week is Day 28, the traditional ending of the cycle. And maybe I’ll have good news. (D and I were comparing period notes today and I told her that I have somewhere between 1 and 40+ weeks to go).<\/p>\n
(Cue crazy part of this post)…<\/p>\n
Dear My Body: Pleeeeeeease let this be my month. I know that I’m pretty much the poster child for Best Laid Plans screwing me, but really. I’ll be with my entire family in July and I would REALLY like something awesome to tell them even if it’s before 12 weeks. So, how about it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
