Round 2.

I just took my last 100 mg dose of Clomid Round #2. Now, in a few days, I begin my OPK adventures and hope to see 2 dark lines before CD 21's blood work. Here's to positive thinking!!

Hi from CD 4.

Good morning.

Sitting here on the couch after being on the front porch all morning... indulging in a little cafe mocha... and reading. It's perfect weather outside--hoodie weather! It was really relaxing to sit out there and listen to the birds chirp in the trees while swinging. The only thing missing is a hammock. :) But, if I had one of those, I'd probably quit my job.

Last night was the first night of Clomid round #2. Instead of the 50 mg I took with the first round, I took 100 mg last night. I also took it with a Bupap... which really seemed to help with the headaches I had with the first round. I'm really, really, REALLY hoping I don't suffer from the moody-depression-hopelessness I had last month with Clomid. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the rumor of "less side effects with the 100 mg" is true.

I'm not using my monitor this month. I decided it wasn't worth the high cost of the sticks. Sure, it's nice to see that peak reading... but, you know, seeing as how we're doing the OPK's and CD 21 blood work to confirm ovulation, I just can't see tossing out another $50 on test sticks. So this month, we're just using OPK's and temping to try and pin-point ovulation.

So now until CD 21, I just stick with the Clomid schedule... and keep hopeful.

Negative.

Bring on Clomid cycle #2. 100mg this time.

:(

I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one.

Sitting at the park. Just had my blood drawn for hCG. I won't get the results back for another 4-5 hours. In the meantime... I'm letting my mind wonder.
