Here is the deal-i-o

So I was asked why we will be waiting until March if this month is a bust. The answer is that I just got into grad school and I want to take off a whole semester when the baby(ies?) comes. If we get pregnant between Jan and March baby would be born October through December. Plus there would be a very good chance that our current little boy would share a birthday to the new one and we want to spread it out more.

What does clomid do? Clomid is used for women who do not ovulate on their own or do not ovulate very strong on their own (for me it was the first). Provera is used to start a woman's period. This is usually used when a woman has a super long cycle (45+days, usually closer to 60+).

CD=cycle day, CD 1 is the first day of your period
RE=reproductive endocrinologist, the Dr that preforms IUIs, IVF, etc he figures out how to make infertile people fertile.
LP, LPD=Luteal Phase, Luteal Phase Defiency, your LP is the time between when you ovulate and when you get your period. When it is less than 10 days it is considered defective
IUI, IVF=InterUterine Insemination (this is what Kate+8 did) the Dr monitors you for follicles and injects sperm into the uterus to acheive a pregnancy. IVF is Invitro Fertilzation, where the dr gives you drugs to create a lot of follicles to have an egg retrieval (giant needle into ovary to retrieve) then fertilizes the eggs with sperm, and then freezes the extras and transfers the amount agreed upon (2-4 usually).
PCOS=Polycycstic Ovarian Syndrome, affects many women and is usually a major cause of IF. Symptoms are Insulin resistance (body can't process insulin), cysts on Ovaries (not always), facial hair, and increased testosterone
O=ovulate
BCBS=blue cross blue shield
IF=infertility
OPK=ovulation predictor kit, pee sticks that detect your LH surge to tell you when you are most fertile
LH=lutenizing hormone, the hormone released when you ovulate
TSH=thyroid stimulating hormone, the hormone your thyroid creates
Progesterone=hormone released after you ovulate, depending on how strong you ovulate depends on how high the level is. On a medicated cycle a good number is over 15.
KU=knocked up
Anymore questions about this just ask!

Tomorrow I go in for a blood draw to see what my progesterone levels are. Last cycle my level wa only 13.51. That compounded with a LPD is probably why I didn't get KU last cycle. Hopefully it is a higher number this time and a longer LPD.
