Amor del Viaje

Well, bad news at the gynos yesterday. Steve and I went in to check on my results after taking my first 50mg of Clomid. When I first went in, my progesterone was at 8 (about half of what it should be). After taking tha first round of Clomid... instead of going up, I was now at a 5. The doctor seemed stumped by it. He brought me up to 100mg of Clomid for 2 months to see if that will work. I wasn't really expecting it to work in the first month, but I was a little sad that my numbers went down. He says he wants to see my number at 15. If the Clomid doesn't work after 3 months of ovulating, then he says we'll have to try something else. Apparently a nasty little side effect of Clomid: It can overstimulate your ovaries and cause cysts. Ack.

The good news: my doc is really working with us to help out with the financial strain. He found us a lab that does the tests for 30 bucks each. Every little bit helps!

Work has improved a little bit lately. The kids had their FCAT testing this week and that was highly stressful. Apparently, I was more stressed than they were. Today I woke up with a cold and just feeling generally like crap. I took the day off of work.

I go to Philly in about 5 days and I am STOKED. I love that city. Hoping that will give me a much needed boost in my morale. Lord knows I need it!
