I know it's been awhile...

The truth is I was hoping to be able to post on here soon that we are pregnant..but I can't post that yet and I want to update everyone on what is going on.

This past month the DR increase my Clomid to 100mg instead of 50mg. This was TOUGH!! I had headaches, body aches, and some serious MOOD SWINGS!!! I nearly had a breakdown in walmart because I couldn't find a movie I was looking for!! I dont think I went one day without crying about something for a whole 2 weeks!!

Following the Clomid, I received Progesterone injections instead of the cream I was doing. The DR said the cream wasn't doing its job so we tried this instead...YAY.....

Kort gave me the shots and even though needles don't bother me, it wasn't fun! We did 10 days of that then went to the DR for tests. Both the Clomid and the Progesterone worked!! My levels all got to where they are supposed to be! That is very good news!! (Except that it means I have to do injects every cycle that I take Clomid...but as long as I get a baby, it will be worth it!)

During my appointment we went over my hormone reactions over the last few months and she said my levels prove that I am only ovulating every other month, even with the Clomid. We decided that if I am not pregnant this cycle that we will take a break next month and let my body rest and try again in two months when my "strong" ovary should ovulate. I am glad for the break but it means that I have to wait another 2 months before I have the possibility of getting pregnant...that sucks!

One thing that has made me feel better as I look back over what we have been through is that time has gone by really fast. It seems like waiting for those certain days of the month to come along so that we can try take forever....but the days go by pretty fast and all I can do is pray for patience and keep doing what we are doing!!
