Have a great vacation Victoria!

Thanks Jana!

I took a pregnancy test last night. It was a first response test that came with my opk. It was negative. A little bummed,not going to lie about it. I can tell that my period is going to come. I am feeling irritable today. Next step is going to see my OB on May 3. Looking forward to that appointment. My DH on the other hand is not since they will have to get a sperm count. I'm supposed to start my period today.

Hope your witch AF doesn't show for you!  Tell your DH that doing the sperm count is the easy part compared to what we have to go through!

Yeah thats what I told him. I told him I just want to make sure we are on the same page about all of this and we are. I tried to tell him it was a normal thing and that I was going to go through more than he will.

Thank you!

Jana

 Hey ladies, 

I am still here. Lovely and most wonderful AF came today! I want to tell her to flock off but I don't think she will listen! My new ob wants me to start clomid on day 2, why, I am not sure. So tomorrow we start again with round 2 of clomid.
