Hi everyone!

First things first, today is CD#26 and I am expecting AF this weekend. I truly wish she would not show but I am armed with Clomid, EPO and my fertility monitor for next cycle. We were thinking of heading to San Antonio this weekend if the weather is nice and that would really help me get my mind off waiting for AF to arrive. Maybe if I'm not home she won't know where to find me?

Thanks to everyone who posted their Clomid stories and tips, it was so helpful. I feel good about giving it a try and I sure hope it does the trick ;-)

Does anyone else get ovulatory pain/cramps? Usually I can feel a twinge around my ovaries around ovulation but this month - wow. I had a whole day of full on cramps! I was hoping that it meant that I was ovulating a big juicy egg then I began to think it was because maybe I had endo or something. I am pretty sure I don't have endometriosis but I just tend to worry about everything.

Last week I also received a notice from our health insurance that the doctor's visit I had was not covered. At first I thought it was for the blood test, which I was prepared for since I knew it was not covered. But, it was for the doctor's visit I had prior. I am a little ticked off because I don't think I should have to pay for it. What do you think? The appointment was for my annual Pap and after I gave her copies of our infertility tests performed in Chicago and she looked at them and said make an appointment for a progesterone test. The paperwork indicated both the Pap and infertility consultation. Gggrr, I knew that would happen. Because it mentioned infertility I had to pay $75 for coming in for my Pap, like it's not enjoyable enough ugh. In the grand scheme of things that $75 will probably the buried under the expenses that are coming if we need to pursue this infertility issue further but I was still peeved just on principal.

Remember that Sign Language course I was signed up for? They cancelled it due to low enrollment, I was sad. I was really looking forward to it, especially since my teaching position ends this week! It would be a really great time to go back to Canada and spend a few weeks visiting my friends and family in Ottawa/Toronto and Montreal but we still have no Visa! As some of you may remember we are here in Dallas on a Visa, we came on a one year renewable Visa but in Jan we applied for the 3yr Visa. Once we applied for the 3yr Visa basically we are considered in between status and cannot leave the country. Last week we found out it may be another 2 months before the INS is done processing the new Visa, that's if they don't run out before that! I am so disappointed, this means I won't be able to get home till summer and I am also likely going to miss my cousin's wedding. On the bright side my mom and sister will probably come down for a week's visit soon now that I am done teaching.

OK. That's enough from me for now. Take care everyone!
Ciao Bellas!
Heidi
