First sight of summer!

So my summer officially started with a trip to Atlanta to see my girl Lydia. She is a Captain in the Army and has been in Iraq for 10 months. She had a two week break so she decided to come and see some of her girls. She then came back to J-ville with me to find housing because she will be stationed here when she comes back from Iraq!!! YEAH~!!!! She had a list of things that she wanted to do while she was in the states. So we decided to help her out with the Joe's Crab Shack mission!!!! YUMMO!

Not so much......

Went to the doctor again this morning and once again the medicine didn't work. They are going to try and give me something called glucofage. I would take this with the next round of Clomid. Women with PCOS often have elevated insulin levels which hinders the ability to make eggs. They are hoping that the glucofage will lower the insulin levels and then I will make eggs. I think that I have decided I may take a little break for now. I will go ahead and take the glucofage but I think I'm going to wait on taking more Clomid right now. I think I may start running again! I used to run all the time and I loved it!!! I'm sure God will grant me what is best. I know this blog seems to jump back and forth, I'm just a little off today.

I'm baaaaaaaaaack......

Once again, I was lost in oblivion. So obviously the last round of Clomid didn't work, so we have started a new round. Tomorrow is my last day of taking the medicine and I go to the doctor on Friday. It has made me very tired but other then that I have felt fine.....until TODAY! I swear I think one of my ovaries is going to jump out of my body! Talk about sore!!! However, I'll take it and much more since it means the meds are working!!! Wish me luck, cause I'm not sure with all of this bloating that I will fit into any of my clothes by the end of the week!

Once again I have fallen off of the "blog wagon"!! When I went to the Dr. last Wednesday they said that only one of the 4 eggs I had grew. However it only grew to a 15 and needed to be at an 18. He sent me home and told me if I didn't ovulate by Friday morning to come back in for another ultrasound. So, back I went Friday morning at 7a.m. When he did the ultrasound he couldn't find the egg. He told me that he thought I may have released it which means I may have actually ovulated. However, it could also be that it was a bad egg and it deflated. Leave it to me to have bad eggs, right???? He said it is possible that maybe JP and I could conceive naturally but the chance is very slim! He told me that if I didn't start my period in 15 days to take a test. When I start we will then start another round of Clomid. He said this time I will be on 300mgs. When I asked what the highest dose of Clomid was that he would put me on he said, "This is it. The next step is the injectibles and at that point you really need to think about doing in vetro since you will be spending all that money. IVF will give you a higher success rate." So, keep us in your prayers that it will work this next round cause I can guarantee you we can't afford IVF!!!

Update

Went to the doctor on Friday. They said that I have two eggs on each side but they are small. They gave me another 5 days of Clomid and I go back Wednesday morning. Hopefully I will be ready then!

??????

I don't even know how to begin today. I gotta admit, I'm a little nervous. Tomorrow is the big day where the doctor does the ultrasound to see if the Clomid worked or not. I'm so excited!! I really can't wait, but in the same respect I'm really nervous! What if it didn't work? Or what if the medicine works but the next step doesn't? There are so many questions, why can't this just be easy?? People get pregnant everyday and aren't even trying. Yet I have to jump through rings of fire and there is no guarantee even then! I'm sorry, I don't mean to rant. I think the hormones are taking over! ;-) I'll be sure to try and post tomorrow. Keep us in your prayers!!
