It's been awhile

At doctor's orders I was taking estrogen to be followed on the last 10 days of the script by progesterone to induce my period. What followed was a two week period. Oh joy. I think today is cycle day 40 or 41. I'm not pregnant according to the test I took yesterday but who knows if I even ovulated last month. I wasn't diligent with the fertility monitor. Actually I ran out of test sticks and did not want to shell out the $50 for another box.

Based on the above it looks like we'll get to do the IUI for this upcoming cycle. I have a script of Clomid waiting and I have to call my doctor on day one to schedule the bloodwork and ultrasounds. If all goes well I guess we'll have a December baby.

So wish us luck that we get lucky with the IUI the first time around. From what I've been told I should not get my hopes up that it will work the first time.

It's hard to believe we've been trying to conceive for almost 2 years. We are two months shy of that anniversary.
