Cycle is over.

Again, I wish I could come here and say that the ultrasound went great and there were big eggs and then we triggered. But, it's even worse than before. My eggs actually got smaller. So really there is nothing we can do for this cycle anymore. It's over. I would have started Prometrium tonight to bring on my period and start a new cycle, but because of our vacation planned mid-June, it wouldn't work out for the next cycle. So, instead I'm going to wait and take Prometrium while we are on vacation and my new cycle will start when we get back. This works out better because I won't be pregnant on vacation which means I can drink without worry. It also means I won't have my period on vacation, good for many reasons that I don't think I have to explain (unless you are a guy and then maybe ask your girlfriend and/or wife!).

This also means that it's pushing my potential due date further to the end of busy season and while having me due say on April 15 is not ideal, it means I won't be missing all of busy season and I'll have a spring baby which I would prefer a lot more! So if I do some math, if my new cycle starts on June 26 and I ovulate 14 days later on July 9, I would be due March 31. Not the greatest time, but the reality is that I probably won't ovulate until closer to day 18 or later, which pushes that due date back a little farther. And then, if this cycle doesn't get me pregnant, then the next cycle for sure will be past April 15 and I will be fine.

The specialist also indicated that we would be more aggressive this next cycle. We will go up to 150 mg of Clomid and start some injectable meds if needed. I'm excited about the next cycle, but also anxious since I have to wait so long for that to happen. But in the end, it's all for the better (see reasons above). In the meantime, I need to focus on Noah (who is beyond cute right now) and getting ready for our vacation. So don't expect too many TTC posts between now and then.

Oh and one other note, Congrats to my brother who graduated college last night. We are so very proud of him and all that he has accomplished so far. I know he will do big things with his life. I have pictures, but they are on my camera which I don't have with me.
