CD9

Today is CD9 and I thought I'd post an update, although there really isn't much to report. I took the clomid from CD3-7 so thankfully that's over with. I managed to only have one semi psychotic breakdown and have had only a few hot flashes. I was pretty nauseaus while taking it, but I think it was a combo of the metformin, the clomid, and the antibiotic I was on for a sinus infection. Only 3 more days of the antibiotic so hopefully my digestive tract will be a little more normal soon. (Not that it's completely normal with the metformin, but I'm learning to deal with that.) On that note - I've managed to lose 6 1/2 lbs since we got back from vacation just over 3 weeks ago. Yay!

Some of you have asked what the plan is exactly for this cycle. I believe that I'll be going in on Saturday to check my lining and follies. There is a chance we might trigger if I have a mature follicle but not LH surge yet. The plan is to avoid doing an IUI this month unless absolutely necessary.

Oh, and a funny story from yesterday:
Do you remember the crazy older lady who came up and asked if we had kids and when I said no she wanted to know if we even wanted them, and when I said yes she asked if we were trying? And then proceeded to tell me that relaxing, a vacation, Jason wearing boxer shorts, and her super fertile relative could all help me get PG.

A few weeks ago she asked me if I was pregnant yet as I was walking by. I said no and kept going.

Just now she cornered me in the bathroom (while there were other women in there!) and asked me if I was expecting this month. I finally just asked her politely to not ask me that. It's been a long hard road and I don't need to be asked constantly. She apologized and said that she wasn't trying to pressure me, but would I at least tell her right when I find out I'm pregnant? ARGH! Oh, and then she patted my back and told me she was confident it would happen. Sheez!
