Smooth sailing ahead

It's been smooth sailing this round so far. Well, except for the nasty mood swings I had this time around. They were BAD. But they only lasted while I was on the clomid for 5 days. I tried really hard to keep the moodiness in check after I exploded the first day.

# of kidney stones this round: big fat zero
# of days sick with a cold or something this round: big fat zero
# of positive ovulation tests this round: two

The last test (from today) was SUPER positive. I don't know if that's possible but it happened. I had a positive Ov test yesterday but today the test line came back SUPER dark, darker than the reference line. My LH level must be crazy right now! That's a good thing.

So things are going my way after two rounds of suckiness. Keep those fingers crossed for a few more weeks!

NEXT!

I was totally right. Am I tuned in or what? So, here we go with round 5. This is my second-to-last Clomid trial so let's hope that A) my ovulation isn't delayed by a cold or kidney stones or the like and B) that a little embryo decides to hang out for a while.

I might go get drunk tonight because I can. I'm also going to dye my hair finally. I'm also going to get on Amazon.com and buy those Biggest Loser DVDs I've been looking at for a while. Maybe being less fat will help the process.

So if you're a person of prayer, please give god (or whoever you pray to) a shout out for me. I feel kind of hypocritical praying so I don't usually. Otherwise, just send some good vibes my way. I'm gonna need all the help I can get, haha.

The End Is Near

I feel the cramps coming on. You know what that means. I can expect my arch nemesis in the next day or so. Not really surprised. I try not to work myself up too much each round. Just makes for a bigger letdown. I still feel like saying this: "AHHHHHHHHH!" So we've got cramps starting, and my BBT started to dip today. FYI, your BBT decreases right before your cycle ends due to a decrease in progesterone.

I've even been avoiding alcohol for the past two weeks and put off dying my "desparately in need of a coloring" hair just in case. I didn't even have a drink on New Year's Eve! Oh well, what do you do? You can't stop it from happening once it's ready to go. It was a wacky cycle anyway. I'm leaving early from work today so I can go sulk all afternoon. Haha, just kidding. I am leaving early though.

I really hate how mother nature drags this out. Cramps for an entire day usually, then a day or two later, the inevitable. Being a girl is tough.
