Clomid Questions

I wonder endlessly if I'd be pregnant right now if I'd started sooner. I ovulate on my own and have no real need for Clomid other than to up my chances by creating multiple follicles. I switched to clomid on my 4th try. My DW said she would have started immediately but it was my choice. Given the fact that my RE said that you should limit the use of ovary stimulating meds to 12 attempts per lifetime and I want 2-3 kids I didn't want to escalate to meds immediately. It's a personal choice but I have to admit I do wish I'd been more agressive in the beginning.

Let's Do It?

We've decided to go with an unmedicated cycle this month because we're having timing issues again. It looks like I'll be away for my "end of July Day 3" so if my cyst doesn't clear up before my "end of June Day 3" we wouldn't be trying again until SEPTEMBER! I'm getting dizzy watching the calendar pages fly by! Anyway, this may sound totally dorky but I've taken this as a sign and I'm ditching the clomid (until I'm allowed back on it) and I'm going to keep trying without it. It all seemed a bit stupid to wait to take a clomid which in turn caused 0% chance of conception. So here we go... (to the poor house)... I'm back in the game!

Canceled

My left ovary has a 3cm cyst so my cycle was canceled. Needless to say I'm pretty upset. The dr. said I could do an unmedicated cycle but just like last month when I couldn't get in for my Day 3, I can't justify it. Damn it all.

Day 3 (again)

I went in for my day 3 scan today and I'm waiting for the results. To use clomid again I’ll need to go in on Day 3 so for May (since I'm going to be on vacation) I’m going to have a natural cycle as I had predicted. I’ve upped my dose to 100 mg and I’ve added the HCG trigger. Funny how easy it is to dictate my treatment - over the phone.

Freakin BFN AGAIN

AF arrived and I'm so happy to have the cycle over with. I don't like having a delayed AF - if it's a BFN I want it over with immediately so I can move on. That said, I just booked a trip to Walt Disney World and I'm cancelling my "Since I may be pregnant" vacation plans.. since I won't be. I'm still going to go in for my day 3 scan just to make sure everything is ok from my last round of clomid and I'll cancel the cycle after getting the results.

Death of a Computer

So my computer is dead again. I'm writing this over my Wii internet channel & it will probably take me 20 minutes to write.

Bummer. I thought of canceling my trip to buy a new computer but with all the stress of ttc these last few months I figure I should get away & have fun.

#2

I'm at home this morning because I found out that my insemination is going to be at 11:00 am (normally 12:30pm). Good news - I did ovulate yesterday. I was worried that my 30 mm follicle was actually a cyst but it appears it wasn't.
