I'm still here.

And still not pregnant.

I was laying low this last cycle because things were going smoothly. I almost didn't want to go into details because I was afraid I'd somehow jinx myself. But, since getting a new cycle this morning... I figure I'll explain now.

I up'd my dose to 100mg this last cycle after a non-responsive cycle on 50mgs of Clomid. I got a positive OPK almost like clockwork... and then confirmed that + OPK with CD 21 bloodwork... and progesterone levels of 14.7!

Then the waiting game was cruel this time around. I had cramping like I haven't had before... and was thinking it was implantation cramps. But, alas, nope. I've gotten - HPT's the last couple of days and now Aunt Flo this morning. So... yeah.

But I go into cycle #8 feeling a little bit more confident. I know the 100mg works... and that I'll more than likely ovulate again on it. So I feel like we're actually standing a chance.

Now I just take my Clomid days 3-7... and wait.

Iono.

Hi from CD 27.

I could be either 9 DPO today... or 4 DPO... or none at all. No way to really tell this cycle. I've had positive OPK's, 2 peak days on my monitor, a slight shift of temps... but none at one day or point on my chart. So, couple that with my non-ovulatory blood work and nothing makes sense.

I took a HPT tonight. It was negative... which, any scenario above would made it so. But something came over me, and I couldn't control myself.

I have been cramping the last 2 days. They feel like PMS cramps. I thought for sure Aunt Flo had arrived today. I even went to the restroom at work... fully prepared to deal with her. But it wasn't her. Not even a little pink. Nada. Just crampy. But I'm taking that as a good sign. Any other time I've had those crampy feelings, I would start that same day. But still no sign of Aunt Flo. *fingers crossed that she stays away*

So yeah. I'll wait for at least another 9-10 days before I try and figure everything out (read as: obsess over every little detail).

On a happy note... HAPPY BIRTHDAY Miss SJ!! She turned 6 today!! :)
