So I finished the very first ever round of  Clomid, Estadryl, and had my cycle day 12 ultrasound last Friday that reveled a small 16 cm follicle. The NP was not too worried, she thought maybe I just ovulate a little later and felt sure that the follicle would grow to 17cm (the minimum they want the follicle to be for the HCG)  within a day or two. So I self injected  HCG on Sunday morning Holy bat wings that was hard! You would of thought I was trying to talk myself into jumping off a cliff....geez I had no idea what a coward I was!

So the ovulation test strip was super positive on Monday The test side was noticeably darker than the control (first time that has ever happened for me) I won't go into detail, but If there was a snowballs chance in hell of getting pregnant on Monday, I think we took full advantage.

Anyway, that leaves me with a two week wait before the doctor wants me to take a pregnancy test. My period should be due around April 1st, so incase anyone was wondering, I will be officially crazy for two weeks.

On the bright side, my face is breaking out in a lovely rash of acne, oh insult to injury, why me! always me! :)~

anyway,  I am staying positive, hopeful and happy!

Ladies I am with you....7 weeks or less, no name, I don't even have one diaper in this house!  Thank goodness walmarts just a few mins away!  LOL.  We have painted baby's room, no crib set up or anything; we have it all but nothing set up, waiting for the husband to pull out of the storage space....I did buy some cloths with my mom a few weeks ago, and on April 20th we are having a diaper party, so I should have basics by then...so let's hope she doesn't come more than a couple weeks early!  The first one seemed more prepared, but as the commercial reveal, you become much more relax on the next ones ....right.  :) 

Girlllll, you don't have to tell me.....I have been swinging at the knot that I've tied at the end of my rope for a while now. Unlike you and most others, my surgery totally jacked my system! I never had issues with my cycles, ovulation, ect. Lose 150lbs and now I am infertile! I don't ovulate on my own anymore. We have tried clomid, progesterone and a trigger shot and Nada. I really thought this last cycle was gonna be it.....wrong! Ugh! I get the frustration, the emotional turmoil that goes with feeling empty and without a baby. I have conceived before so I know I can carry a baby. Praying for your bfp in the very near future :-)

Names are so hard! I thought for sure it would be easy, but nope. My son was w/o one for two days after he was born, and we ended up picking one that was not even on the list. Go figure. Since we are moving  I dont really want to do a nursery up only to have to move so may just make do with the essentials and then go all out once we move!
