C#7, CD#25
Hi,
Well, I talked to my Dr. today about my progesterone level. On CD#20, it was only 1.1! Apparently, a level of 10 indicates ovulation, so I have obviously not ovulated yet. I asked if this was an anovulatory cycle, and she said probably so. That only leads me to wonder if I've been ovulating regularly at all? There have been a couple of months where I've gotten an definite positive on the opk, but others they are weird, some days dark, others light, but I've had the temp change each cycle, so I don't know. Does anyone know if you can still have a thermal shift and not be ovulating? I'll have to dig out my TCOYF and look it up. I will be taking 100 mg of Clomid next cycle. I'd love to hear from anyone as to whether or not increasing the dosage made the side effects doubly bad - I hope not!
I had the best talk on Saturday with a most unexpected little person. I was watching my neice and nephew (ages 2 & 4), and my neice was sleeping, so my nephew and I were planting my vegetable garden. Well, Aidan found a dandelion and said, "Look, a wishing flower!" So, he made a wish. He didn't wish for all the toys in the world, to have all his mommy's attention, or anything big like that. He wished for a fun time at his friend's birthday party later that day. I went to make a wish, and thought about what I should wish for. I normally wish and pray for BIG things (like a baby), but I made a wish to have a nice day and enjoy my time with my neice and nephew. And I realized that, along the way of wishing, praying, hoping for the big things, I need to also wish for the little things, like plain old happiness, stolen moments with the hubby, a sunny day. So, my goal is to focus a little more on the little things that will make me happy, and not let them get lost in the big picture. Aidan was also talking about babies, and asked when I would have a baby in my tummy (don't ask me why - four year-olds ask TONS of questions!). I said that I hoped to someday, and he said, "You mean when God gives you a baby?" And I said, "Yes, when God gives me a baby." I believe that it's not about DH giving me a baby, or my doctor performing feats of modern medicine to give me a baby, but when God puts everything into motion for all these things to work together for me to have a baby. It was just amazing to me that a four year-old could say things that would be such good reminders that I need to relax and just be happy!
Okay, that was a long story, but he is just such a sweet boy that I had to share it. Only 16 school days left! But who's counting?! :) Ocho is slowly getting better, but will most likely end up at a skin specialist in a couple weeks. I'll write more on that later.
Good luck to all! Don't forget to relax and stay positive!
Take care,
Laura
