CD 10 (AKA: CD 9)

Good afternoon to you. I shake you firmly by the hand.

So my monitor requested a test strip this morning... which I knew it would since it's CD 10 (or CD 9 according to it).

I wasn't expecting to see anything different... just the same ol' low reading I've been getting so far without a test stick inserted. But. I was wrong. To my surprise, I got a high reading.

Now, if you've been following along, you'll realize that it's really out of the ordinary for me to be getting a high reading this early in the game (even for the month the monitor was still "getting to know me"). CD 17 is the earliest I've ever gotten a high reading so far. So I'm feeling pretty darn good that the Clomid is actually doing what it's suppose to be doing... which is getting my O-Day here sooner... and, hopefully, get my follicles bigger... which, in turn, will have a better ovulation/egg.

And.. since today is CD 10 on CST (Clomid Standard Time)... the festivities begin tonight. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

Keep those fingers (and toes!) crossed that this month is it!

I'm high.

Well, it seemed like forever that I was getting nothing but low, low, low. Now... all I'm getting is high, high, high.

I got my first "high" reading on CD #17... which was 6/8/10. Well, today is CD #23... and still no "peak" reading. I have 2 more days that the monitor will request a test stick. I'm really hoping to get it within the next two days. I've already gone through a 2 month's supply of test sticks for just this month.

(CBEFM is suppose to only use 10 test sticks a month... making one box a 3 month supply. However, if the monitor doesn't detect a peak reading in the first 10 test sticks, it'll test 10 more. As far as I know, it does NOT exceed 20 sticks per month. But, still... one box is $40, give or take. I'm really hoping to get pregnant this month so I won't have to buy another box of test sticks. Well, that's not the only reason, of course. But that'd just be the icing on the cake if I got pregnant AND saved $40.)

So anways. That's my update. More when I get more to report.
