Oh poop.
AF has arrived yet again... BLAHHHH!!!! Onto our 6th month of TTC baby #3 (our 3rd month on Clomid)
This one hit me hard for some reason... I have felt pretty teary all day. And then I start feeling very selfish for wanting a 3rd child, like I'm asking for too much... I already have 2 healthy kids and I want MORE?! But I can't help it... I always envisioned myself with 3 kids and, after getting pregnant very easily with the first 2, I kinda took for granted the fact that I would get pregnant quickly and easily this time and that's not really happening! Then I see women who are in their second or third YEAR of TTC#1 who have a better attitude and much more patience than me and I'm like 'OK.. hellooo, reality check... it's only been 5 months so far... Step away form the cliff!'
I have a question for Clomid mamas... I have been doing 50mg these past 2 months... should I be stepping it up to 100mg??? (I ovulate on my own, but am taking it to correct my wacky cycle-- I was having loooong periods and short luteal phase) and does anyone know why some ladies take it CD3-7 and some do CD5-9. I have been doing 5-9, but maybe I should switch that up too. I've gotta call my OB on Monday!

So sorry. Nothing wrong with wanting another child. Wishing you success soon.
I did 2-6 with my ob we had to do 50 for 3 cycles then 100 for 3 cycles. I'm sure each ob is different thou. As hard as it is and trust me from experience when trying to concieve i've been told releaxing is very important.
