Day 1

Back to TTC #2 - Day 1 is here again. Officially this is my 3rd cycle postpartum. To summarize, Cycle #1 was what I thought was my first PP cycle brought on without meds. I did soy instead of clomid this cycle and while I think it helped my eggs get bigger, I never ovulated. Cycle #2 was brought on by progesterone and then I did 50 mg of Clomid. Again, no ovulation. That is the story of my life.

So now we are with the specialist at PARINTS. She had me do progesterone again to bring on a new cycle, which it has done. Now I'm going in tomorrow for a prescan ultrasound just to make sure there are no cysts or anything that would prevent me from ovulating. Once she can confirm that everything looks good, we will start 100 mg of clomid on day 3 through 9. I should go back around day 14 for another ultrasound to see how things are doing and then trigger then or in a few days. Then the waiting begins.

I hate to almost admit this, but as much as I really want to be pregnant (trust me, I do), I almost don't want it to happen just yet. If I got pregnant this cycle, my due date would be scary close to Noah's birthday and I just don't want them to have the same birthday or even that close to each other. Not to mention, I don't really want to miss all of busy season again. At this point, we'll just have to see what happens. Even those things aren't stopping me from continuing this cycle, I still want to be pregnant. What's that saying, beggers can't be choosy.

One other thing - from my calculating on the calendar, it looks like we might just be ok for the next cycle. I originally thought that we would have to sit the next one out because of our trip to Cancun. But it looks like we may be able to get the next cycle in before we leave. The only downside being that if I'm waiting to either take a pregnancy test or get my period, then I really shouldn't be drinking in case I am pregnant. While I don't mind not drinking because I'm pregnant, I don't want to not drink just because I MIGHT be pregnant. We'll just have to see as it gets closer.
