CD 2... finally.

I never thought I'd be so glad to see Aunt Flo arrive as I was yesterday.

I had really given up any hope that "things" would ever return to normal. (Yeah, that's being overly dramatic. I mean, I KNEW they'd EVENTUALLY go back to normal... whatever that is.) But yesterday proved me wrong. She came. And she was/is large and in-charge.

And kicking my butt.

I hurt in places I didn't even know I had.

But, that's okay. This is necessary to cleanse my body and get it prepared for full-on baby making this month.

This month I'm using my monitor. I haven't decided if I'm doing the OPK's this month or not. I'm leaning towards no... and just the monitor and perhaps temping. We'll see. But no Clomid. No bloodwork out the ying-yang. No 10-12-14-16-18 day schedule. Just going with the flow.

Let's rock.

Onward Clomid soldiers!

Hi from CD 2. I tried to make a post via iPhone yesterday, but (for whatever reason) it wouldn't let me. So, here I am on day 2.

As I somewhat expected, Aunt Flo arrived yesterday. I had some spotting late Wednesday night... very very light spotting... almost wasn't sure if it was spotting. But, it apparently was. Because by the time I had gotten to work yesterday morning, I was cramping pretty badly... and had fully started the next cycle by 10am.

Pretty depressing, yeah... since "the stars aligned" for the last cycle... and I felt pretty good about it all. But, after meeting with Libby and finding out that I might not have even really released an egg, it didn't sting as badly as past cycles have.

So I start my first round of Clomid tomorrow with CD 3. I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects... ranging from the small moodiness and sore boobies to the big ones like the enlarged ovaries and cysts. I'm just putting faith in the bigger percentage of people that have no side effects at all. Guess we'll find out tomorrow night/Sunday morning.

Okay. Off to work.
