Ok, so I went to get my ultrasound today to make sure I did not have any Cysts from the Clomid. And thank GOD, I Didn't!! None, nada, zilch. Which also brings me to other surprising findings. I didn't ovulate at ALL! Which means those ovulation tests are BAD and my body plays tricks on me. (I used the answer dip sticks from walmart. I got two surges on those dang things, but I didn't ovulate!) Therefore, however, I got my Clomid DOUBLED! yay!! So instead of 50mg I'm now on 100mg starting today. I have another ultrasound on Halloween, to see if I am responding, and if I have enough follicles mature, I may get a HCG shot to make sure I ovulate! Thanksgiving blessing, here I come!
My RE had no idea why I got AF so soon, he was shocked because I have +/- 60 day cycles. He said that at least I got it, and I can start earlier on this next round. I've heard of alot of successes with 100mg, so I hope it works for me! I also asked about baby asprin and he said that it doesn't hurt to take it, but it is usually taken by women that have had multiple miscarriages, he said its great for your heart if nothing else. I also asked about progesterone suppliments and he said he has had no difference between women taking them and not taking them, so he doesn't usually prescribe it. He said we'll wait to see what my levels are when I'm pregnant.
On top of that, I don't have to worry about paying for the ultrasounds, because they list them as preventative as they are finding out why I don't have periods, so major kudos to them for helping all the ladies who have fertility issues in that office. Saves me big bucks. Anyway, I'm on CD3 today and I will be taking my pills at 3:30pm just like last cycle! Pray I get some MAJOR follies in there and ovulate!! Much love and baby dust!

Oh for the joy of needles....
So today is my doctor visit. I'm over my fear of needles now, probably because I have been poked so many times. I am getting an ultrasound today and finding out if I can start my new round of clomid. PRAY I have no cysts and can start it! That is my one fear!! I just know I'd go crazy if I can't try this cycle and have to wait until december. Not fun! I just wish I could wiggle my nose and be pregnant, then I wouldn't have to go through all this. Sometimes, life seems so unfair. I never imagined I'd be one of the ladies with fertility issues. ugh. Why can't life ever be easy? All I know is when my child asks me if he/she was a mistake or planned, I can honestly say planned because I wanted him/her so very much! Love will be abundant in this house.
