Yeah, I'm not really caring this month, maybe it'll be different when AF starts--maybe I've been at this too long...

8 days since I stopped taking Prometrium and still no AF
...you guys made a good point, though, if I started now and got pregnant...I would have a baby very close to Christmas...not sure how I feel about that! Plus I would miss out on all my vacation time during the holidays that is given to me. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to wait until January...but I still want SOMETHING to happen!! I can't do anything without AF starting!
I talked to the doctor's office today a couple of times. They were in contact with a Reproductive Endocrinologist and they first said that since I haven't started AF that they were going to have me take Prometrium again, but add Estrogen too. Later, though, I talked to them again and they decided that is not the route I should go because I had some light spotting the last time I took Prometrium (in January). They decided instead to have me start Clomid without having AF. I went in for a blood pregnancy test today and if it comes back negative (and it will) then I will start Clomid on Monday, March 17 for 5 days and then go and get an ultrasound on Monday, March 24 to see if I have any eggs that look ready and if I'm getting pregnant this month it would most likely be around the 26th, so the doctor prescribed BDing at least on the 24, 26 & 28. DH is out of town on the 25th, but fortunately will be back on the 26th. Fun stuff!
who's BD'in tonite?? I am I am!! LOL..... (wow, this is growing old isn't it...LOL)[/b]
Not me! I am going to start seriously in a week! I started taking Clomid today and I'm going in for U/S next Tuesday. I hope there are some little follicles growing in there!!
I'm out-the witch decided to show since I'm already feeling like dying-where's a good vomit emoticon when you need one?

Kelly.. I'm gonna "try" and hold off unti lthe 26th at which time I will POAS. Just thought I'd give you my actual dates while you are changing Marie's.
K, so here's a recent pic taken of me.. It October.. is that recent enough? I really honestly only have about 1or 2 from Christmas and I think I've posted those before.
Saw my obgyn today. Turns out that my insulin levels are very high, meaning I am very insulin resistant. He said to continue with Clomid 100mg (is making me ovulate) and to stay on the metformin, but he is now sending me to a fertility clinic which is a nine hour drive away-they get better results than the clinic 5 hours away-go figure! He said based on my age, this high insulin resistance, and my inability to ever get pg easily, he doesn't want to wait any longer and I need to be seen by somebody else. He can't put me on injectables or do monitoring ultrasounds-we don't have the resources here for that.
I'm sort of relieved that he's not waiting around on this, but also disappointed that we have to go this other route--why did the Clomid work last time and not now? I don't know if I want IUI or IVF, but I'll see what this clinic can offer me, maybe they have other options first. I am going to work hard at losing weight until then as that should help with the insulin resistance a little bit at least.
Part of me wants to give up--my beautiful miracle is asleep in his crib upstairs-maybe he's all I get?

*hugs*
Good luck Marie. You are right...at least he is not waiting around. If something happens while on Clomid in the meantime, that would be wonderful, but if not...then at least you are on your way to figuring things out.
I have too often thought about how I would feel if things got more complicated. I think there is a certain point where I would just decide Madelyn is enough. I think you have a ways to go before you have to make that decision, though.
I'm waiting to hear from their office-I was told to expect to be seen in around 3 months. Thanks for the hugs-I'm really sad about this today
