Amanda's TTC Journal (m/c 7/22)

Started progesterone this week... on it for 12 days then back to RE once AF comes. Then I will be starting Clomid- 100mg.

Keeping my fingers crossed that this will finally be it!!!

I got super crampy last night so I figured AF was on the way... I stopped my progesterone (since I knew I wasn't pregnant anyway... just taking Prog. to get AF). I only had 2 days left of the progesterone so it's not that bad. AF will probably arrive laster today or tomorrow. Then the fun begins!!! YEAH!!! I really can't wait!

DH and I are planning our Halloween party and I'm super excited! We are Halloween freaks! We are actually heading to the Halloween store tonight when DH gets home :-) woo hoo! They have these zombie babies that are new this year... we haven't seen them before so we are assuming they are new... they are so cool! And, our neighbor has a friend who used to do Halloween like we do Halloween (we do it up big... tons of decorations and everything!!!)... but he hasn't been doing it the past few years and all his stuff was in storage. Well, a few days ago, we got gifted with 3 HUGE boxes of Halloween stuff!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was like Christmas!! :-)

Okay, enough of this... I should really get to work... I'm just really not motivated at all! BLAH!

So I had b/w and u/s today... it's CD4. U/s looked good! b/w was even better!!!!

E2- 62
Lh- 5.2
progesterone- 0.8

I'm so excited because normally my E2 is around 20... I've had some CD9/10 b/w come back with a lower E2 leven than what I'm starting with now! I'm so ecstatic that maybe my body might be cooperating!!! :-) Even my progesterone was higher this time around... it's normally less than 0.2!!!

YEAH! I'm not looking forward to the Clomid crazies, but I totally can't wait to see what my u/s and b/w are going to be like on Tues, Oct. 13th :-)

Wish me luck!!!!

Took my first Clomid pill this morning! It's crazy... I'm so anxious/nervous. I totally shouldn't be, I've been on Clomid before!!! I'm hoping it's because it's the first day. I need to calm down!!! :-) I can't wait for next week!!

I'm back to temping and I think I'm going to start OPK's this weekend since my E2 was a bit higher than normal. I figured I'd start early to see how it goes.

1 pill down, 9 to go! YIKES!

had b/w and u/s on Tuesday... it was CD 11

E2- 98
Lh- 10
Progesterone- 0.7

I was hoping for better numbers, but I'll take it because they are higher than most of my numbers at this point... especially the Lh and progesterone.

On the cycle I did injectibles, on CD 11 my numbers were:
E2- 107 and I only had a 10 mm follie
2 days later my E2 was 199, but follie size was the same

I go back on Monday for another u/s and more b/w... I'm hoping things look even better then... wish me luck!!!

u/s today was GREAT!!! I had a follicle on the right at 21mm!!
My lining was a 9
and the u/s showed I'm starting to ovulate! It was soooo cool to look at!

I'm so excited about my lining... it's normally thin... like a 4!!

YEAH! Now, I just have to sit and wait for the b/w to come back

Blood work results came back:

E2- 310
Lh- 22
progesterone- 0.9

I have been "prescribed" intercourse tonight and tomorrow.
I start progesterone suppositories on Thursday.

Then I go back on Tuesday for my 7DPO blood work :-)

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 DPO and I'm already freaking out!!! Jeepers! This weekend and next week should fly by because Halloween is next weekend :-) YEAH!!!! We have a LOT of decorating to do... I can't wait!

I just hope the next 10 days go by SUPER QUICK!!!!

I get my prog. level checked on Tuesday... I started prog. suppositories last night, but doc said if my PL is good, then I don't have to continue with them :-) YEAH!

I HATE waiting for blood work to come back. *sigh* 2.5 hours more to go... I wish they could just analyze it right there, while you are waiting... kind of like filling a prescription!!!!!

LOL! I just want to know my PL so I know if I have a chance in hell or not. My BBTs are great and really high... they were high before I started on the progesterone suppositories, so that's good!

Anyway... I went to a church rummage sale this past weekend. It was fill a bag for $1! Last year I got 3 bags and got 70+ T-shirts to make cloth diapers. This weekend I filled 7 bags... yes, you read taht right... 7. I got about 82 T-shirts and a bunch of wool sweaters and fleece sweatshirts to make covers!!! Woo hoo! Now I just need the darn baby to use them :-)

I supposed I should get to work... maybe it'll make the time go by quicker????

Progesterone level- 22!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! I'm doing a happy dance!!! This is the highest it's ever been :-)
