A few weeks ago I got the okay from my RE to start Clomid on my next cycle. So it was on to Prometrium again. It worked pretty much like I figured it would and then on cd 2 I started the Clomid. I was anticipating the worst after all the horror stories I've heard and read about the side effects. I have to say that is wasn't as bad as it could have been. I definitely had a few moderate hot flashes and minor mood swings, but nothing was unbearable. On cd 10 I was having some pretty noticeable twinges on my left side. I was pretty sure it was something that had to do with ovulation but didn't want to get my hopes up...and then later that night I noticed EWCM when I went to the bathroom before bed. Anyway, I kept on temping and on cd 13 fertilityfriend.com (FF) confirmed ovulation on cd 10! I was not expecting to ovulate that early, but hey, at least the Clomid worked. I am suppossed to go for progesterone blood work on Tuesday, so I'm crossing my fingers it comes back with a strong O number. I know I will be disappointed if we don't get pregnant this month, even though I know there's only about a 25% chance for conceiving each month. I keep saying that all that matters is that there's still hope because the Clomid actually worked, but who am I kidding...everytime I get a BFN it hurts my heart a little more. I'm trying to stay positive and hopefully I won't need to be on Clomid for much longer, or any more after this month. Say a prayer for our little family if you think about it!
