FINALLY!!!

Well hells bells!!

I am SOOOOO excited!!! Just took this upon getting home from work around 5:30.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!

Still Waiting...

Its now currently CD22 and i still have yet to ovulate. Or at least i think. I've been using the OPKs but i am going cross eyed trying to read the results. Here let me post a picture of some them...

As you can see its hard to tell!! And as you can see i think its possible that I could have ovulated on 9/3, but i'm just not positive. If so today would be 10dpo, i took a pregnancy test this morning with FMU and it was a BFN. Which isnt too surprising since the OPKs are fading. I will have to get an updated picture to show you since then. I stopped writing down what time and what date i took them but you can still see the line progression. I do not temp, and i dont think i ever will. I know thats really the only way to totally confirm ovulation but i'm not doing it.

I'm getting frustrated to say the least. And its only our first round of clomid! I watched a video the other day on YouTube from a woman who ovulated on CD 31 and actually conceived so i guess hope isnt lost just yet. And AF isnt here yet so i dont know why i'm panicking, but i am! I want so badly for this to be our cycle and i feel like its not going to be. It just makes me sad.

Waiting to Ovulate!

Today is CD 12.

I've taken the prometrium and was able to have a cycle successfully. I had my doubts that it would work this time but i'm glad my doubts were just that...doubts. I'm also glad it wasnt horrendous. It was a normal cycle for me. With minimal cramps and headaches. The only think that sucked about it was that it started the day after our vacation started and our 2 year wedding anniversary. Chris had wanted us to have sex every day of our vacation so those plans had to chance.

I have taken all 5 of the clomid pills. And happily had very little side effects. Only some mild hot flashes and heart palpitations. Thats pretty much it.

Yesterday i took my first OPK and it was closer to positive then any of the previous OPKs i have ever taken, so i'm pretty excited i will ovulate this time! (Note to self: Take picture of OPK to show! :)) My doctor told me to start using the OPKs on CD 10 because some will ovulate a lot sooner then expected and soem will a lot later then expected so to cover all bases start early! Then wait the 2 weeks and take a pregnancy test or until AF is due. So i'm currently just waiting to ovulate. I wouldnt be surprised if i do within the next couple days.

Chris and I arent really planning when to have sex, we'd like to keep this fun and not turn it into a chore. I hate hearing and reading stories about timed intercourse and such. Seems so impersonal and unromantic. We want to have a child but we also want to continue our relationship in a normal fashion and conceive with love and passion. I never want either of us to get to the point where we are having sex because we have to if we want to have a child. I dont want to force him if he's not in the mood just because i'm about to ovulate. I'd love to have sex with my husband every day but some days we're just too tired or what ever. And thats perfectly ok!

I guess we arent at the desperate point yet and i hope we never do!
