OK, too much information .... but it's my blog. If you don't want to know the particulars ... read someone else's blog. I'm pumped and I want to share ....... :)
Part of my problem this year is that my medicine, Provera, wasn't working. I was supposed to take 10 pills over the course of 5 days to induce a period. The period is supposed to start 3-7 days after the last pill has been taken. The first time doing this it took 12 days. The 2nd time it didn't even work so the Dr upped my prescription to 15 pills over the course of 5 days. Then I got pregnant, then I miscarried, and this is the 2nd cycle since my miscarriage. Last cycle it took about 10-14 days again ... and I figured that as long as it took less than that ... we were headed in the right direction.
This cycle the stupid pill only took 4 days to work! WAHOO!!! I'm a girl!
I've had the question asked many times ... when do you take the clomid. You can't take the clomid (ovulation drug) until you have a period ... that has been my whole hold up to date! So because my period started this month I can finally take my clomid, which should help next month start up a bit easier too.
Unfortunately for me, just because I have a period, doesn't mean I ovulate. I will need to go in on day 21 to see if I ovulated. If not, I'm sure my Dr will up my clomid from 100mg to 150 (I started at 50. The highest they'll let you go, that I know of, is 250, but since clomid has some gnarly side affects .... we're hoping 100 is enough!! It is for most.)
For me, this small thing is a miracle. A small step in the right direction. I'll take it!

YAY!!!! So exciting. I have found that I do a bit better on 100 mg of Clomid rather than 50 mg. The side effects haven't been that different between the two does for me. And I'm thankful that my doc gave me something to deal with the headaches...the worst side effect for me.
Good luck my friend! I hope we have babies around the same time...
Best of luck!! :)
YEEHAW!!! I am so happy for you ;) I hope you get a baby VERY soon! Love ya!
P.s.- Where do you get your blog printed into a book! Do you use Blurb? Is it hard? Expensive? I have three years worth I need to get done! YIKES! email me about it! ferworwood@gmail.com Thanks!
Congrats girl. I took Clomid also. I started out at 100 and they upped it to 150 after the first month. The crazy part is that I have more eggs than a normal woman my age my doctor said. And I have a normal period every month and since twins run in my family they said that I ovulate up to 3eggs at a time each month with out the Clomid (my hubby has the fertility issue with us) but it is crazy to go in to see if I ovulated and see like 5 follicles in the uterus. That was scary. We did IUI and finally got pregnant the third time around. Clomid dose mess you up a little but I promise that the baby is worth it. I am praying for you, Just keep hanging in there and the Lord will help you deal with anything that comes your way...
Yay! That is awesome! I was on 100mg. Fun stuff. I am happy things are working for you. I'm praying for a baby for you soon. (And no more miscarriages.) :)
