50 mg Clomid...

It worked! I ovulated 3 days ago! YAY! We know the "magic dose" for the Clomid now, and I never had any side effects from it, so DOUBLE YAY!

Now we just have to wait another 10 days before I am going to let myself POAS. ;)

It's been a crazy, busy, hectic, stressful week at work. I'm so glad it's over. I'm only working a few hours tomorrow to finish up a tournament we held, and then I'm heading up to my uncle's for the weekend. I can't wait!

Quick Update #2

Work's been crazy. I'm working really long days and I'm coming home totally exhausted. I can't wait for this week to be over.

I don't know if I'm responding to the Clomid or not. We've been BDing a lot to make sure we cover the bases, but who knows. I really hope I ovulate, but I'm not holding my breath.

I love the show Parenthood. :)

A minor setback.

So, I had to cancel my U/S. Money just didn't work out for me to have it done tomorrow. If only I would get paid this week instead of next week, it would be fine. I trust that this is all part of God's plan and it will work out just fine. :) I don't need monitoring anyway. If it works, I'll O and I'll know it. If it doesn't, then if I don't O and get George within a reasonable time I'll use Provera and we'll start a new cycle. Seems like a good (cheap!) plan to me.

I didn't get to weigh in on Sunday to see how my diet and exercise plan has been going. I had a horrible weekend as far as dieting goes. Today hasn't been that great, either, but I'm still doing well calorie-wise. Don't know what we're doing for dinner, although I suspect I may get a call soon about eating out with my husband's family. Hopefully if we do that, we'll eat at their house or go somewhere where I can eat healthy.

I am so tired today. I slept really poorly last night. I was up every 2 hours, I think, just tossing and turning. I just couldn't get comfortable! Hopefully tonight will be better.

Happy birthday to my stepdad and my kitty Leah (who is 2 today)! Leah is sleeping on my lap right now, and I'm going to give her a first-class transport upstairs to sleep on the bed beside me (or on my knees like she usually does). ;)

Clomid, Day 4

The Clomid has been treating me well so far. I've been taking it at night so I can avoid most of the side effects. I've taken three days of it so far, and it's not been bad. I haven't had any hot flashes, no dizziness, no mood swings...I hope that doesn't mean that I'm not responding to it! DH and I are so hopeful for this cycle. I told my ovaries last night that I would just be thrilled if they grew at least one or two good follies. :-P

We went to the wedding of two of our closest friends last night. It was just so beautiful. The bride was absolutely stunning, and their little girl was the cutest flower girl ever! I am so happy for them. :)

About the job interview: I got the job! They hired me that day. I get to start in about two weeks. I'm really excited, although a bit nervous. Once I get started, I think I'm really going to enjoy it.

CLOMID!

I AM SO HAPPY!

My doctor's appointment was fantastic! My doctor knew so much about PCOS. I really felt like I was in the hands of someone who truly understood my condition and could really help me. He gave me a prescription for Clomid to start TONIGHT! :D I go back on the 10th for an ultrasound to see how the follies (if any) are growing. I almost cried when he told me he was going to start me on Clomid. I was so glad to finally get a plan set and actually follow through on it! I am so glad I listened to DH and switched doctors. :)

Another good note: I have a job interview tomorrow for a part-time job as a dental assistant. I'm really hoping it works out. We could really use the money, since right now we're paying for the medical stuff out-of-pocket. We'll see how it goes, though!

I'm just feeling great today. :)
