12 DPO and counting

And I haven't tested yet, I will not subject myself to the disappointment of seeing only one line as I know at this point it would surely be negative.

The good news is that my blood test confirmed ovulation, with a progesterone level of 23, which is great as what they are looking for is anything above 15 on a medicated cycle.

I still have symptoms, which started around 7dpo but I trying to not go psycho over them and read too much into anything. What bothers me though is the nasty menstrual like cramps I've been getting for a few days, they have me convinced AF's on her way. I am constantly running to the bathroon to check, I call it panty psychosis. My temperature is still high but I don't yet see a triphasic pattern as there hasn't been a temperature dip to indicate implantation, I know you don't necessarily need that triphasic pattern but maybe I would be more optimistic if I was seeing it.

Anyway, AF is due on Wednesday, if she hasn't shown up by Friday then I'll allow myself to pee on a stick, if not then I'll go get my prescription for Clomid and get back to work.

Follicle count, painful ultrasounds and confusion

As I finished this round of clomid last week, this Monday was THE day for me to have my follicle count ultrasound. After waiting 45 minutes, being on the table for five minutes and the technician not being careful not to hurt me, I was not happy! First the technician gives me crap because I was not doing the ultrasound on my day 14 (euh duh can't day 14 was on the weekend and you don't do ultrasounds during the weekends). Then she starts bitching because she can't find my left ovary. And then she wouldn't even tell me if I had one if any mature follicles and said we were done for the day.

I left and I swear if she'd come to talk to me I would've punched her. Next morning I called the RE's office to get some answers and I was told by my doctor's wonderful assistant that the ultrasound report said I had at least one mature follicle. In her opinion I have a good chance at ovulation this month but it will only be confirmed by a blood test I have to take next week.

As for the confusion...It was looking to me like I could be ovulating Monday, which was perfect as were were "due" to DTD anyway. Temp went up Tuesday but down again yesterday. Hopefully yesterday was it, but this morning I had a little bit of EWCM but I've heard that it's not reliable the day after you DTD since it could be HIS leftovers. Anyway, fingers crossed!

New cycle, new hope

I haven't been good at keeping up with this blog in the last little while. I just wanted to say sorry about that lol

My new cycle started on Nov 1st, makes counting cycle days very easy. I took my clomid 150mg from days 5-9 and I have a follow-up ultrasound next Monday. I'm really hoping it works but my temperature has been weird, I have 3 days that are way above what my usual pre-ovulation temperatures are. I know that for yesterday and today, the H1N1 flu vaccine can be to blame but what about the other one? What should I read into this, should I take it to mean it's not going to work? I really hope next Monday's ultrasound shows I have follies and that I will ovulate. I wish they would give me a trigger shot to make me ovulate.

Only time will tell
