Cycle #3...

I never expected to have to TRY to have a baby. All those years i prevented with birth control pills seem like such a waste now. I sometimes wonder if taking those pills all those years has affected my fertility. It seems to be a trend in the TTC world. So many of us spent years preventing and when we're ready its just not happening. Like my body go used to not doing what it was supposed to because i spent so much time making sure it didnt. Apparently studies have proven that to be wrong though. Oh well, i feel like i'm grasping.

Welcome to CD4.

I'm trying really hard to keep positive. We are on cycle number 3 of trying with the help of clomid (50 mg). Some people try for YEARS. I cant imagine having to try that long and still be unsuccessful. Things seem to be getting better with each cycle. Two cycles in a row that have started on their own, which is really good. The first cycle i ovulated petty late, the second cycle i ovulated a little sooner so i'm hoping even sooner with cycle #3.

I called my OB/GYN this morning to let them know i've started another cycle and to see about upping my dose of clomid from 50 mg to 100 mg. My doctor was in surgery so the nurse said she would check with her, but that they will probably up the dose, she just has to confirm with the doctor before calling the script in. So i'm just waiting with anticipation for the call back...weird i know. Its not like i can change it. The regimine i'm on i have to take the clomid on CD 5-9, so i hope they realize i need to have that filled by tomorrow. I told the nurse when i started and such so hopefully she realized. If i havent heard by like 3:30 i think i'll call again.
