As promised, I am here to update on what happened during my appointment with the fertility specialist yesterday. The good news is that we will start Clomid 150mg next cycle, with monitoring ultrasoun between days 14 and 16 as well as blood work confirming ovulation on day 24.
The disappointment came later when he said that if Clomid doesn't work this time then this is it for us until I am able to lose 25 more pounds. The clinic has a rule that you have to be under a certain BMI for them to take out the big guns, wether it be intrauterine insemination or invitro fertilization. That means that I have to get back on the weight loss horse and do this so that maybe some day I get my dream.
As much as I want to believe it will work for us (and we know it does, this dose made me ovulate once), part of me is saying, yeah whatever, what is different now that wasn't there in 2008 when this dose worked? Will I ovulate earlier, will my dear husband be able to "finish" every single time and even then, will we catch the proverbial egg? Do I keep going or do I give up?
Well, we will try this for a while and then we will have to see what we want to do. I remember last year saying that if I wasn't pregnant by January 2010 I would just stop trying... Now that deadline is so close and I'm nowhere near ready to give up on my dream.
