Remembering back, I always knew that I would have problems ttc. I remember dwelling on it for a year or so, not being able to think about anything but having children. The I did what most 21 year-old do and sort of forgot about it.
Then I met the man who is now my husband. I’ll go into the entire story some day, but we discussed having children and five weeks later…I was pregnant.
We thought that it would be just as easy the second time around. Not so much.
This month marks the fifteen month point of Jesse and I trying to conceive.
While this has been the toughest area in our marriage, (other than our daughter) it’s also been the tie that binds us. We’ve become closer as husband wife, as friends as lovers and as parents.
But we’re ready to make Kylie a big sister–to expand our family.
So today is cd 4. I started the clomid. This time 100 mgs, versus the 50 mgs rx’d from my doctor. I know for a fact that the 50 mgs is not working. I used an opk everyday starting on cd 12 until I got af again and nothing. My family doctor is not a RE and the local RE is actually out on medical leave and will not be back for another month. After using opk’s for nearly an entire cycle, my regular doctor said that she doubted that I would conceive on just the 50 mgs. So the month that I didn’t get af, I filled the rx for clomid, and filled it again today.
Hopefully it works.
