Good dad

I think Karl is going to be a good daddy. We watched Mikey last night (a friend's little boy).

AF came & went!

So, on July 16th, I finally started. It was a pretty typical cycle, at least for me. It was 6 days long. The only thing that was different is that I cramped the WHOLE freaking time. On the 15th, I cramped the whole day & didn't start bleeding until the next. That pissed me off, just a tad! I'm just glad I'm not going to have a month long period!

So, am I going to ovulate this month from the boost of Progesterone? I don't know. I know one thing, I have done everything my OBGYN has told me to do, so I should be getting Clomid when I go on August 20th. If not, I'm going to a fertility specialist!

Trying to become a CLOMID CUTIE!

So, I got my Progesterone shot today. It wasn't that bad. I barely felt it. Maybe it was worse than that & I was just so engulfed in the bigger picture I didn't feel it! Who knows? I am just ready to get the show on the road!! I am ready to get this cycle started, let AF come & go & get the realll stuff going! Next Thursday I see my PCP to get switched from Cymbalta to something else. I think that will be the last step in the process before I get on Clomid.

First, I had to quit smoking. That wasn't so bad. Secondly, I had to get off of Lortab. I had to have an injection & am about to have another.. hoping for a cumulative effect! Now, I am just waiting to get off of Cymbalta. Do you see how much I want to have a baby? YAY BABIES!

Tomorrow

Here's yet another update! The nurse called me back today & told me all the info.

First, the doctor wanted to give me either another round of Provera or a Progesterone Oil shot. Despite my hatred for needles, I chose the latter. I have already done the Provera & I wanted to go ahead & see how the shot worked. So, we'll see how that goes. I am going to get the shot in the rear tomorrow!

Also, she said that on cycle day 21 I needed to come back & get my Progesterone level checked. She said the doctor wanted me to be off of Cymbalta before she would give me Clomid. So, I have to call my PCP & get her to change me to something else (probably Zoloft). Want to know the problem with that? Maybe not, but I'm going to tell you anyway!

ZOLOFT RUINS MY SEX DRIVE! Isn't that defeating the purpose of switching? I'm trying to make a baby!! I need my sex drive! Why don't I go without either, you ask? Because I don't want to kill anyone! I am too anxious to go without some sort of medication to calm me down. I would be too afraid I'd make myself have a miscarriage..

So, I just don't know, people! It's def something I need to discuss with the doctor!

Update

Okay so here's an update on my status! I went to the Women's Clinic the other day. I had a pelvic ultrasound. Have you had one of those? Not too comfortable.

I found out that my uterus is tilted & my ovaries are covered in cysts. I pretty much figured the latter. I didn't know my uterus was tilted. It is hereditary, though. My mom has a tilted uterus too. It doesn't effect fertility or child birth, so at least I don't have that working against me.

The doctor is going to call me Monday (by the time I got there she had left for the day). The nurse said they'd either start me on another round of Provera/Prometrium or give me a Progesterone Oil shot. I told the nurse to tell her I wanted to start Clomid once I got my cycle handled. Yay babies!

Did you know that multiples of 9 babies are called nonuplets? I hope I don't have nonuplets! But if I do, the more the merrier, I guess! I just really hope I can get pregnant & it doesn't take years for me to do so. I don't know if I'll be able to handle it.

57, post-menopausal, just gave birth?

Hello! I'm watching "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant." This 57 year old post-menopausal woman is about to have a baby! Look, if I never have kids of my own, I am gonna be pissed! POST-MENOPAUSAL? NOT TO MENTION 57!! I better have a baby, damnit!

Cycle day # ?

Okay, it has been a while, but I just wanted to let everyone know what's going on! I am still not having a cycle. I had a cycle 5/19 & haven't had one since!! I started Provera 10mg 11 days ago & finished up last night. I haven't started yet!! This isn't the first time I've had problems not having a cycle, but it is the first time it's taken so long for it to start after starting the Provera. I called my OBGYN today & they said for me to wait until the end of the week & if I haven't started by then, to call them back for blood work. I HOPE I START. I just can't wait until August 20th! YAY BABIES!
