JE Just Because...
Well, I don't have much to report. I'm expecting AF today or tomorrow, and I really have no doubt in my mind that she's coming. My temp was still up this morning, but I remembered later that I had a margarita at dinner last night, so that probably had something to do with it. Hopefully next month we get a little more BDing in, so we'll have a little better chance.
Our trip was fun. Chad was busy at his class everyday, so I just shopped and laid by the pool. It was relaxing (and boring lol) at least. The drive from Houston to Atlanta was a killer, but it was nice to spend the time with him.
So, right before our trip, I had emailed my OBGYN about our issues again, and she told me I should try three months of Clomid to produce multiple eggs to give us a better chance of conception. I picked up the Clomid on Monday, knowing that AF was going to show around Friday. As the week's gone on though, I'm thinking of holding off on taking the Clomid. I think I'm going to put Chad back on the men's fertilaid for 2 or 3 months, and then take the Clomid. This way, he'll have the healthiest sperm he can possibly have, to give us the best possible chance. This is our last ditch effort, so I don't want to squander it. We weren't planning on starting the IVF until the end of this year anyways, so we have time. It's hard to hold off though, knowing that I have it in my possession already. Chad and I talked about it this morning, and we agree that we should wait. He was disappointed at first, but he understood why.
I know I haven't been on here much lately, but I'm thinking about you ladies, and pray for all of you. Hopefully we'll see some more BFP's soon. Good luck!!

Thanks ladies. It's hard, but I know I can stick to it. I just know I don't want to waste the three cycles, unless I know we've done all we can. I REALLY REALLY don't want to do IVF. We can only afford to do it once, so if it doesn't take I will be absolutely devastated. That's why I keep putting it off. Thanks for all the well wishes. We're just going to keep trying naturally for the next few months.

Glad you and Chad got an opportunity to spend some time together and hey sitting by the pool and shopping sounds like a dream! ;) Glad the OB prescribed the Clomid, I agree with Dakota though it might be hard to hold off on taking it but if you can that would be great. I hope AF stays away hun.

Your plan makes complete sense. Start with the best "ingredients" first, improving sperm and eggs with supplements before putting your body through a drug regimen. Reason being, the body kind of gets used to these drugs and does not respond quite as well after a few cycles. Save it up for the best chances when everything is in tip top shape! Thinking of you and wishing you a BFP surprise very soon.
