Archive troubles
So my last journal/blog thingie was entirely hand-done. I coded the html and moved the archives over manually. I would love to have all the archives here but that means copying and pasting each one and it’s a very laborious process. I’m thinking that I may just move over entries that say something mildly interesting. All the infertility ones since I know I have visitors looking specifically for that info. All the Jewish conversion ones. And then some that are longer or that garnered some mail.
Then again, I may blow it off for a good long while.
Speaking of infertility, I finally got my period this morning at 20 days post ovulation. That’s the latest I’ve ever gotten it even using the progesterone. My doc did have me go in for a blood hCG test and I was anxiously waiting for the answer ’til I woke up and realized I’d started. I wish they’d called back earlier (I took the test Wednesday) so that I could have stopped the progesterone and spared myself the anxiety of the past two days.
I don’t get it. I got pregnant last September, November, and January so I figured that our oddds were very good at getting pregnant during the last three months of treatment. If this cycle had worked, I would have had a duedate right around our anniversary. Oh well, Brett was worried about having an Aries baby anyway.
We need to find out what our new insurance covers so we can see about doing an IUI next time.
When I successfully conceived on Clomid, it was with an IUI - I’m now a pretty big advocate of always doing the two in conjunction with each other. Have you been doing the Robitussin or anything to counteract the thickening of the cervical mucus that occurs with Clomid? If I hadn’t had an IUI to bypass the cervical fluid issue entirely, I would’ve done the Robitussin to thin out the mucus. Ahh…the things you never think you will have to think about in your lifetime!
There’s a woman I knew at Noah’s preschool who had three kids all with clomid and an IUI. She had unexplained infertility. I have hopes about an IUI but it doesn’t seem like my cervical fluid has been compromised by the clomid. I actually thought that the clomid probably wasn’t working because I had eggwhite! But the nice thing about an IUI is that it takes all of this out of our bedroom. I’m tired of procreative sex. I want wanton sex again.
Dawn,
my cervical fluid doesn’t seem to be compromised either (on Clomid). In fact, during the days when I take the Clomid, I’m having very wet, eggwhitey cervical fluid. I am very confused. I did a urine ovulation predictor test and it was negative. Can you ovulate that fast while taking clomid(I’m on day 9 of my cycle and I have had several days of eggwhitey fluid)
How does your Dr. time the IUI. Do you use an ovulation kit? Ultrasound?
thanks.
Robin
