Target didn&#8217;t close until 9, so :: phew :: up to 8 tests again. I really wish they had more of the clearenced Target brand tests because those were soooo cheap last year.<\/p>\n<p>You know, you really only need ONE. It&#8217;s just making sure it&#8217;s right one (i.e., one that says &#8220;Hell yeah!&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>The Clomid Pony has officially done a number on me. (We can&#8217;t blame buying more tests on it, though). So far today I nearly cried leaving Target (Clomid had me feeling all &#8220;woe is me&#8221; just because someone&#8217;s exwife has been pregnant THREE TIMES and, well you know&#8230;), I totally burst into tears in the first 10 minutes of the Sex &amp; the City movie (which, weeping aside was so so so good), and I&#8217;m pretty sure I literally gave God the finger on my way out of the mini mart, where I went to look for Hostess cupcakes.<\/p>\n<p>That last one was wrong in so many ways, the least of which is the lack of Hostess cupcakes (not even the Mexican off brand!).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway &#8211; did I tell you this? &#8211; the results on Friday were actually good. My progesterone was good and high, suggesting that I probably did ovulate (which is good to know since I would have done that a WEEK AGO) and I probably escaped this cycle of Clomid cyst-free (echhh, but, woot!). I saw the midwife, not Dr. P (which is fine with me &#8211; here I go tempting fate again &#8211; because if I manage to get pregnant and have a low risk pregnancy I totally want her to deliver Plan B).<\/p>\n<p>The midwife gave me the Stupidest Advice Ever: &#8220;Don&#8217;t test until Day 32!&#8221; (Seriously?? I have an arsenal and she thinks I&#8217;m going to wait another WEEK?)<\/p>\n<p>RIGHT. As if, lady. I made it as far as yesterday (two tests) and so far nothin&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>But I guess that explains why I had to go to Target.<\/p>\n<p>Stupid Clomid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Okay, a really BIG nutshell &#8211; like I can ever be short winded about ANYTHING?)
