My Journal, sweet journal

CD 1

So today is the first day of AF. Well not really, I had just a 1 episode spotting thing… about 2 days ago. I really am excited about this cycle. This is the first day of my cycle without having to induce. I went this morning to the drug store to pick up my prescription. Well $20 later in that evening, I realized that I had started on my own. Wooohoooooo. This is great. This is what DH and I have been waiting for. Today marks the beginning of our promise that this would be the last time on Clomid and Metformin. If this is not (which we have faith that it is) then we will go back to the RE (we stopped due to a death in the family and money). Everything is going to be good. I should have a regimen of the following…

Baby Aspirin Daily
Metformin Daily
Prenatal vitamins Daily
Clomid cd 3-7
Guaifenesin 500 mg cd 10-14
Progesterone Supp. PO daily
Lovin with husband Daily (lol) (I can wish right)


So in my best NASCAR voice….. Let’s go racin boys…. Boogity, boogity, boogity.



Day 2

So to day has been hard, I couldn’t understand what to do….. remember I had the spotting, well I thought that might be the onset of AF and so that would make today cd3 and so I think I am going to start the Clomid today just to be safe. I mean there are some doctors that prescribe it for cd 1-5 so I am not worried. I am prayerful that this will help with me ovulating earlier. I don’t ovulate until cd19 or 20 and that could be the reason for the miscarriage last time. I pray that this will work. So I will take the Clomid at bedtime so that I can sleep off a lot of the side effects (horn syndrome) and I will continue on with the regimen.

Day 3

So today was nothing special. I worked in the yard and all is well. No side effects of the Clomid this morning or throughout the day. It usually will not start until day 3 of the Clomid. I hope that I can continue to feel well thru this and not have any of the usual side effects. Today will be a rest and get ready for the week day.




Day 4

I am feeling so bloated today. I mean I feel like someone blew my belly up like a balloon and believe you me. I am not a small girl and so this looks even worse on me. I am belching every 5 minutes. That is even with not eating. I have tried it all. Tums, Maalox, nothing is helping….. Oh Lord please keep me feeling alright.

Day 5

Today I am really bloated. So bad that the jeans I was so proud I was in last month from my weight loss are now not buttoning and look as though they never will. I know this is only short term but I am so ready for it to go away. I have cramps in my lower abdominal region so that tells me something is working. I don’t think that I have recorded the temps above but I will here….. 97, 96.7, 96.8, 96.9, 97.2. This is great. They are right where I would like for them to be. We will wait and see. Cramping is getting a little worse than I remember but nothing I can’t handle.

Day 6

Well today was my normal day 6 dive in temp. It was 96.7 this morning and that is what a .6 change. Oh this is right on track. I just need to be sure that it goes back up so that it can dip lower on day 14. I really need to make sure that the ovulation happens at t good time this month to insure a good egg. The bloating is still here and the cramping is more frequent. I am sure this is just my ovaries working overtime. Lol. We just need a lot of prayer for us and the Lord is going to take care of this. Oh and last night AF left the house. Wooooo hoooooo, doing great……….
