Let me whine for a bit

• heartburn started last night.  Off/on today. 
• Hurts when I suck in
• random headaches
• My nipples are sensitive and hurt
• The sides of my boobs hurt
• I have a weird stabbing pain that shoots down to my butthole that lasts for a few seconds.  Ever had someone stab you in the anus?  Yep, that's me
• Peeing more
• Really been wanting plain M&Ms and watermelon...but not together
• Hurts if I push on my abdomen in the center and on the left
• Random bouts of nausea but it doesn't last long
• Left lower back has been hurting for 3 days
• A constant weird feeling in my abdomen.  Not really cramps, not really pressure...I don't know how to describe it
• I thought I was ok with hotdogs for dinner last night but when I started cooking them I totally didn't want it anymore.
• I almost passed out in Walmart last night
• Can't get full
• Sore throat for that last few days that lasts all day
• I'm hot all the effing time

This is just all my mind playing tricks on me right? haha

Hello my name is Crazy!! I'm driving myself nuts!! So many questions with no answers!

Will I have an implantation dip?
Will a period come on its own?
Are all the crazy symptoms I'm having because of PMS, pregnancy or because all those cysts are still in there?

I have a 3 pack of First Response Early Result.  I'm really tempted to take one in the morning....but I'm scared of it being negative because I tested too early.

Even if it is negative, I have to be happy about the fact that I did ovulate without the help of HCG and if AF comes by itself that will be a huge accomplishment!

The good news in all this....my chart looks good and promising :)

Ovulation?

I still have a headache, not a severe one but enough to bother me.  Also, I've been having a lot of twinges and pains on the sides of my abdomen as well as mild low back pain.  Overall I just feel crampy.  OPK this morning was negative so my LH surge definitely was yesterday.  My BBT went up today so if it goes back down tomorrow I'll know that I'm done ovulating.  I'm really really hoping this is it! I'll be testing around July 24th.  The Hubs birthday is the 21st so I might chance it and test early to give him the ultimate birthday present! Unless I have other super crazy symptoms, I won't post again until I test :)  Wish me luck!

Look What I Got

Last night I went to bed with an awful headache and I was so nauseous.  I had mowed the yard about an hour before so I blamed it on my allergies. I woke up this morning to this!

I'm tempted to call The Hubs and tell him there is an emergency so he'll come home.  We need to do it like rabbits! This makes me feel SO hopeful.  I'm super excited! I am 6 days post my last Clomid pill.  My temps don't mimic this +OPK....well at least I don't think so and I'm too lazy to put all the numbers into Fertility Friend to see what it says.

CD21 Doc Appt

I went in for my CD21 check this morning after taking 100mg Clomid CD13-17. My right ovary had 6 follicles ranging from 14mm to 23mm. My left ovary had one follicle measuring 14mm.
Because I have a history of fraternal twins in my family and so many big follicles, my doc doesn't want me to trigger this month....and even said to use condoms for the next week!! What?! What is a condom?! LOL

If I didn't have to have another prescription of HCG to trigger, I think I would do it on my own.  Sure, there would be a huge chance of sextuplets but I'm sick of waiting! 

The plan is to take 75mg Clomid next month and then trigger. Because we plan to trigger next month I can't trigger this month without another prescription. 

I think I'm going to risk it and just have lots of sexy time and hope to ovulate on my own. Maybe my left ovary will be the one working and I'll end up with one implantation instead of 6! 

Also today he did a mucus check like always after we had sexy time this morning...Doc let me see the microscope slide....very cool!! I could see little spermies swimming around in my mucus!  The count looked good considering the high dose of Clomid I was on.  The idea is that if we drop it to 75mg Clomid more sperm have a chance of survival.


He gave me a prescription for progesterone to take for 21 days then I should start a period 2-3 days later.  Well, that is if I don't get pregnant after we have sex WITHOUT a condom this week! 

CD14.3

I've been horrible at updating.  Honestly I've been horrible at updating everything except Twitter recently.

Short recap:  CD5-9 I took 50mg of Clomid in hopes of producing good size follicles so I could inject HCG.  I went to the doctor yesterday for my CD13 check and no big follicles.  They were all under 10mm.  Yesterday I started 100mg of Clomid.  My doctor used the analogy "your water isn't boiling yet.  I'll keep turning up the heat until it does" ha!   I return to the doctor on CD21 for a follicle and mucus check again.  Lets pray for some big ones so I can trigger!

Before my appointment yesterday, I was instructed to have sex right before the appointment.  The Hubs does not do well with scheduled sex and he doesn't like the pressure.  I decided to not tell him and just try to be sneaky and spontaneous with waking him up with sex yesterday morning.  Here is an excerpt from my personal blog to share how my morning went.  Beware of the strong language:

Last night I told The Hubs to make sure the alarm is set early enough for us to have sex in the morning.  I didn't tell him that it was doctor's orders...I just made it sound all exciting and stuff.  I even used the words "do you want to wake up with your dick in my mouth" lmfao  We had this discussion about how he will need to pee first.

I never hear his alarm clock...I usually wake up when he gets out of bed.  So at 5:43 he gets out of bed.  I remember looking at the clock and thinking wtf he has to be at work at 6.  I hear him in the bathroom so I'm like oh, its ok he's just going pee and then he'll come back in.  Then he lets the dogs out and then he goes to smoke.  WTF I am still at this point thinking ok I know he wouldn't forget our plans.

....and then he starts to put his shoes on and shit hits the fan.

"What about having sex this morning"

"I'm already late for work.  You were suppose to wake me up"

"You know I never hear the alarm! I was waiting on you to go pee!!"

I was on the verge of tears at this point

"What is the big fucking deal?!?

"We HAVE to have sex ok?! We just fucking have to and I wasn't going to tell you.  I was trying to be sneaky but apparently you didn't want to fulfill my needs very badly did you?!

"What do you mean?! What are you talking about"

At this point I'm bawling on the bed and explaining to him the situation.  He's just staring at me like omfg you can't be serious.  He gets on the phone and calls in late to work

Pretty dramatic huh? We are suppose to have sex again before the appointment next week.  I have chosen to just tell him this time to avoid all the drama and tears.

I should probably tell you that fraternal twins run in my family.  My dad is a twin and my great uncles were twins.  The fraternal twin gene is the hereditary one..not identical.  With the use of Clomid, HCG and my family history, I have a pretty high chance of multiples.....well, if the medicine works and my body would cooperate. 

I'll try to be better about posting after my appointment next week :)

CD23.2 ~ Doc Appointment

I guess I was mistaken last month.  Last month I did not produce a follicle like I thought.  There were some small ones, but not big enough ones.  This month I did not ovulate or produce large follicle, just like last month.  The Provera with Actos alone isn't working for me.

This month I will continue on Actos, another week of Provera and then CD5 I'll start Clomid.  I also should be expecting a phone call from a pharmacy to take my insurance information for HCG.  I don't know a whole lot about HCG.  I need to google it and freak myself out. haha

I'm a little disappointed with the outcome of this month, but not surprised.  I knew I didn't ovulate because my temps were flat and my boobs never started hurting.   I'm not even going to post my temps from this month because they're so boring.  They basically stayed between 97.2 and 97.6.

The Hubs and I have had horrible luck the last few months so I just keep telling myself something good has to come soon....maybe that something good will be pregnancy!
