WTF is going on?!

My temps this cycle are all.over.the.place. The first two days the BBT said 97.05, followed by 96.8 which I was hoping was the temp ip I needed. But then it read 98.6 yesterday and today 97.18. There is still hope, but not much. Today is CD 15.

If this cycle is a bust we are going to wait until March to go to the RE if needed. I am not really looking forward to that. We are getting new insurance tomorrow and I not entirely sure what type of coverage we will have then. Right now we don't have much of anything. Before when we were on BCBS we had decent IF coverage. I guess we will find out in two week if its needed.

Progress?

So things are progressing. Sorda. The kiddo has been potty training all day long. He woke with a wet diaper, but only because hubs and I were slow moving this morning (the kid woke up at freakin 7 am, which on Christmas break, and a 2 am bedtime for the grownups, was a bit early!) However since then he has only had 1 minor accident, and he has gone both #1 and #2 on the potty today! PROGRESS!

Another progression is that it is 1 more day into my cycle. However, no O yet. My temp this morning was low again, 96.6. Which I find funny especially since I wake up so freaking hot and sweaty every morning. You would think I would be freezing! I told my husband after Sunday he is only getting any every few days. There is only so much I can take! He agreed!!

So we will see how the rest of the week goes. Still hoping for a temp spike tomorrow. Hope Hope Hope!

Let the potty training begin!

Tomorrow we are starting potty training our little boy. We are going to try the 3 day potty training. So hopefully, by Saturday night he will be diaper free.

I have been exhausted the last two days. Like sleeping from 12-11. I wake up earlier but I am still so tired I go back to sleep for a few more hours. I don't know why. We have been doing the deed every day for the last 5 days. So plenty of swimmers stockpiled for when my egg does finally release. I know they only live for so many days inside, but the more the better!

Today my temp dropped to 96.8. So hoping this is the big dip before the surge!!! I am supposed to use OPKs but those are not only expensive, but hard to read. So instead we are having sex every day and doing my temps every morning. So we shall see how it goes.

I feel blah!

For the past few days I have been feeling sick. Like if I don't eat, I feel nauseaus, if I do eat I feel nauseaus. My body has been aching and my head has been splitting. I don't know if it is at all related to the clomid or the weather or just a cold. But it has got to stop.

As for clomid side effects, so far this month all I've had is some cramping the past few days around my pelvic region. And I was kinda pissy the last few days of my clomid pills.

So far my temps the last two days have been 97.05. Here is to hoping I get my drop and surge soon! I am hoping to ovulate before CD16. I am hoping by Oing sooner that maybe my LP will be longer and will hopefully result in a +!

TMI about Glycerin!

I am allergic to it! This past month I discovered that I am allergic to glycerin. Do you know what glycerin is used in? Dial soap. Astroglide. Irish Spring. And most of Bath and Body works soaps. I couldn't figure out why I kept geting itchy and swollen. I tried a yeast cream. That didn't help much. I had stopped using Dial a while ago because my lady parts had gotten so swollen I could barely walk. It.Sucked! I didn't know what it was in dial that I was having a reaction to. But then with the Clomid it made me so dry husband and I had to go buy some astroglide. Well I was having the same reaction that I did with the Dial. So after browsing through the ingredients, I realized that all my soaps, the lube, it all had a same ingredient. Glycerin.

So this month, I am glycerin free. Everything is normal. We have some glycerin free lube now, glycerin free soap, glycerin free everything. I am hoping that the glycerin and the swelling is what prevented the pregnancy. So, within this coming week I should ovulate again. And we will be in the 2ww again. But hopefully, this time, instead of seeing -, hopefully this month it will be +.

Happy Christmas Eve!

Tomorrow is Christmas! Cookies for Santa are baked, presents wrapped, tree all decorated, snow outside! I had been hoping to have an extra special Christmas gift for my husband this year, but instead we will be trying again this month in hope of making another baby.

For his big Christmas gift, Wy is getting an awesome John Deere power wheels tractor with wagon. He is going to LOVE it! We didn't get a good Santa picture this year. He just refused to go near him. I was halfway hoping for a Santa that would just hold him while he was screaming, but they wouldn't. Closest we could get was a picture of me holding him and sitting next to Santa ith husband sitting on the other side of santa. Next year hopefully!

We are in the process of trying to potty train Wyatt. He was doing soo good this morning, every 30 minuts we would ask him if he needed to go potty. He would go each time, Well apparently, he didn't finish the last time because he was in the living room playing when all of a sudden thre was a puddle on the floor. So, I cleaned it up, we had luch and we will try again tomorrow.

This is the first year away from family for Christmas. I oddly enough am not really all that sad about it. I like being able to do our own traditions now instead of driving 3 hours to see everyone for a week and making sure each family has the same amount of time. Instead we are having a nice relaxing week alone just the 3 of us.

As far as clomid goes, I am on day 4 and the only side effect as of now are hot flashes. And slight insomnia because I took it too late last night.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Onto Cycle 14

Well, the clomid worked. It did what it was supposed to. I ovulated. But big whoopie. Something didn't work. Because on CD 23 I got my period. I ovulated on CD 16, so that makes my LP 9 days which is really short. I mentioned this to my nurse and she didn't say anything. If this cycle doesn't work I am going to switch to a Reproductive Endo. If all we need to do is to ovulate (check) and lengthen my luteal phase it should be a rather easy fix I would think. Just some meds. I hope.

We had lost internet for the last 3ish weeks. So thats why I had no updates. But here are some updates. The day my period start and the first 3 or so days of this cycle I was absolutely a horrible person. Everything pissed me off. I yelled at everyone and everything and nothing made me happy. Monday night I took some time off from my husband and kid and went to the movies, alone. Kinda sucked, but at least I got away. Plus I got to see Tangled, which was super cute! And after some shopping retail therapy at Target, I went home. And to make it better it was snowing. After Monday, I don't know if it was the 4 hour break or what but I was such a happier better person.

I am on day 3 of clomid right now. So far no major side effects. But last cycle I didn't have any until it was time to start trying. More of that to come soon.
