Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Still Waiting

January 30, 2007 — 8:12 am

So apparently clomid does not make me ovulate early. Today is CD14 and no temp rise (actually it dropped). So I’m assuming I’ll ovulate today or tomorrow. But if my follicles were good and big on my U/S on CD 12 the previous two cycles… what does that mean for my poor follicles this cycle? If they’re typically ready by CD12 and I don’t ovulate until CD15, that can’t possibly be a good thing.

Granted I haven’t been feeling much. Last night I did feel some twinges in my left side, which was reassuring. Do I have two on each side, so I’m not feeling huge like when I had 4 on one side? Or did I just not make as many this month? I really wish I knew what was going on in there.

OPKs are so negative I can barely see a second line. I don’t know, maybe I’m testing at the wrong time of day. (I’m testing in the evening, after not peeing for 4 hours.)

Not that any of it really matters. I am definitely not expecting to get pregnant this month. Although one of my forum buddies just got pregnant this month… after her cycle was cancelled because her follicles disappeared! Of course when I told DH about that he gave me an evil grin and said, “See! You just have to not think about it and not stress!!” And then he ducked. (Yes, he said that on purpose just to annoy me.)

The short of it: I am not expecting a miracle. I’m looking forward to next cycle. Thursday is my appointment with the Dr. to make plans for the next several months. I get to bring up IVF and find out if she’s on board with my plan to do that if the injects cycle fails.

    Hey, chin up! Sometimes babies DO get made the old fashioned way. Keep using your opk’s but don’t forget to have some sex no matter what they say! Okay?
