Hello and happy TTC'ing. Is there such a thing as happy TTC'ing? I am not sure happy is a good word, but we will try. I am on CD32. The only major event was my negative test on CD30. The doctor seems to think it could have still been too early but I was close to giving up. I had a horrible headache that night and took several doses of Tylenol throughout the day and my temp was down on CD31. So, naturally, I did give up. Then today, CD 32, my temp went back up to the normal post-O temp of 98.0 for me. I must say I can't help but get a little excited at this point. I normally have very short cycles but on Clomid they tend to be longer. But even at that, 33 days was my longest. DH thinks this long cycle is the greatest thing in the world. I don't know how he will react if the cycle lasts for nine months. LOL

I called my doctor and she seems to think I need to wait until about the 23rd of this month before I test again, just to be certain that we don't get any false results. If I haven't seen any signs of AF by then, I am going to insist on a blood test, not just a HPT. We will see.

That pretty much sums it up for me right now ... wait and wait so I can wait some more. Take care all and try to keep a positive attitude. Oh wait, DH has an urologist appointment on the 29th of this month if we are not PG now. OK, that's it, short and sweet this time. Good luck all.

Take care,
Jerri Ann
