Come Visit AF

I have never wanted a visit from AF so badly.  I finished day 10 of Provera on Thursday, March 27th.  This is four days later and still no sign of AF.  I need AF to come so that I can start taking Clomid on day 4 and start checking my levels for signs of ovulation.

I envy those that are able to conceive easily and without intervention of any kind.

The Beginnings of Our Journey for #2

My dear husband and I have decided that it is time to expand our family.  We have been trying unsuccessfully for several months now.  I regret not logging more of the events of our last pregnancy so I am going to try hard to keep up with things this time.

Today, March 18, 2014 we met with a physician to discuss our challenges with fertility.  The meeting was brief but we left with what we went for....a prescription for Clomid.  In 2010, when we were ready to try for baby #1 we were given a prescription for Clomid.  We successfully conceived during the second month on this medication.  We are hopeful that we are just as fortunate this time around.

The doctor's instructions were this:

1) Take a pill once a day for ten days which will cause a force bleed since I do not ovulate regularly, or at all, really.
2) Day 1 = first day of bleed
3) Days 4 - 8 = take Clomid
4) Days 13-18 = most fertile
5) Day 25 = take a pregnancy test
6) If not pregnant, go see doc to get a second script for Clomid.

We'll see how it goes.
