I finished the provera tablets on Sunday, however my monthly friend had begun her visit on Saturday. She wasn't totally moved in though until Monday.
So I called the nurse as I was told and she was leaving the office for the day so she said she would call me on the voicemail she left me. However I am pretty sure she is just going to tell me to start the clomid on day 5 of my period. Which wouldn't ya know it is Thanksgiving. From what I hear clomid can make a normally sweet person act like Maleficent. Awesome. My family is coming in Wednesday night, just in time for them to do minor things that I would normally chalk up as sweet gestures and make them into evil horrendous things. Oh did I mention I won't be seeing said family again until May? Yup perfect timing.
Now, if we were to get lucky this first cycle on Clomid, that would put our due date at about August 29. My niece's birthday is August 31. HA! For those that don't know my sons birthday falls 2 days after my nephews birthday. And my sister HATES it. Utterly dispises the fact that I had the audacity to get knocked up with a child whose birthday is that close to her sons. I have it all planned out on what I will say to her though. The conversation will go something like this: Gah are you trying to copy me? You've always copied me your entire life. (I will be thinking though, yup I am copying you, ya know getting knocked up at 17, then again at 19...oh wait, I am 24. Yup just like you sis ::ROLLS EYES!::) And in reply I plan on saying something along the lines of yup you got it, I am copying you. Because ya know, I was thinking about your daughter when my husband and I were having sex. Because you always pop into my mind and I add up the math and make sure we have sex at just the right time to pop out a kid around yours' birthdays.
Ok off my tangent. So far I haven't had any side effects from the provera other than some slight queasiness (is that a word?) I will see about the clomid though. I am already pms-pissy, so adding clomid to it may make me a horrible person, and to my loving husband, I am sorry for anything I may say as a result of these pills. I love you very much!

Finding out about being broken
Two years and one month ago my husband and I gave birth to a beautiful, perfect baby boy. He weighed 7 pounds, 12 oz and was 21 1/4 long. Pure perfection.
But lets rewind a little farther. October 2007. My husband and I had been married 2 months. We were itching to have a little one. He was working as a hydraulic engineer in T*Town at the time and I was a full time student at OK State. So off the pill I went and we tried and tried. Right after Valentines day 2008 we found out we were going to have a baby! It only took 4 months for us to get pregnant the first time. The pregnancy was pretty monotonous as far as pregnancies go. I was induced 1 week early and after about 10 hours of labor our son was born.
After his first birthday we decided to try for #2. Now, if your math is correct that means its been about 12 months of trying. And my belly is still empty. Oh but I forgot, the wild card. Two months after our son was born my husband found out he had Testicular cancer. Within a week he had surgery to remove the cancerous testicle. Radiation followed two months after the surgery. About 6 months after the radiation (give or take a month or two) he started hormone supplements because his testosterone was quite low.
So after trying for about 2 months for # 2 we decided he should check out what lefty is shooting. Imagine our extreme surprise when it was 0. Nope not a type. The tech had to check twice and call in an second opinion. He had nothing there. So we talk to husband's urologist who says well, go off the testosterone for 3 months and we will check again. And by the Grace of God, 3 months later that 0 turned into 39 million! Yay husband is fixed, now lets get knocked the heck up!
So, now its April/May 2010. We find out then that I have slightly low TSH. After 7 months of trying to figure out why, they still aren't sure. But it is so slightly low, most Drs ignore it. Ok, fine. Which brings us to early November 2010. I go to see my OB/GYN because I haven't had a normal menstraul cycle since January. As in, 2-7 days early and lasting 10-14 days (yup pure hell ladies!). So since we are trying for a baby, the Dr Rx's 10 mg of provera for 10 days and 50 mg of clomid for 5 days. I will finish the provera (medicine to start the menstraul cycle) on Sunday. From there I will take the clomid starting on day 5 of my cycle.
Heres to luck that this is our lucky cycle. Cycle #13. Hopefully, 9 months from now I will be holding a beautiful perfect bundle (or maybe even two, I'd be ok with that, instant full family at once) of joy.
