good progesterone level

So this week has been better than last week. Last week was just hard with the loss of Chris then trying to move and paint. So stressful. My day 21 labs came back good. My progesterone was 28.2 they said anything above 15 meant I ovulated. So they didn't change my dosage and next month we do the clomid again then I start testing on the opk when I get the LH surge I call the office and the next day they do the IUI. Wow I can't believe all of this is about to happy. A mixture of emotions is going through my head. I'm so excited in one hand but nervous in the other. Thank u all for ur prayers. Plz cont. To pray and specifically that I ovulate again and that Jerms swimmer are ready to swim :)

woohoo for the big "O"

So today I'm on day 16 and my at home opt said positive today. This is the first time I have EVER had a positive opt. I'm extremely excited and hoping that my day 21 labs come out great :)this is definitely a step in the forward direction.

still hope for ovulation

So I have been doing some research and much to my relief I have realized that people with PCOS normally ovulate late even on clomid. I have also learned that "normally" being taking clomid ovulate 5-10 days after there last pill well I am just on day 14 of cycle so its only been 5 days since my last dose. So I would still be in the normal category if I "O" between now and Sunday. But even if I don't that would not be completely unusual for someone with PCOS. This gives me hope. I want so badly to make Jeremy a father I know he will be an amazing one. He has been so thoughtful and involved this whole time I just pray he doesn't get overwhelmed with the whole process. For now I'm still just testing and hopefully we will see two dark lines soon.

heavy hearted

This morning we as a church family lost a very special brother Chris Phillips. At the age of 33 he went to be with our Lord after suffering from what they believe to be an aneurysm. Our hearts and prayers go out to his wife, children, and family. Its hard for me to understand at times why the Lord would away this to happen but then I have to remember that God sacrificed his own son at the age of 33 to suffer and die for our sins so that we could join him one day in paradise. This is the 4th person that jeremy and I have lost that has been close to us. I want so badly to take Jeremys pain away but I know that I alone can not do that. This last friday was the one year anniversary of jeremys best friend Ben Coyle passing away and then this blow. Its a horrible tragedy. I dnt understand but I am not ment to understand.

testing starts today

So clomid this cycle was not to bad. A little bloating and a few headaches but nothing too bad. Today I'm at day 11 in my cycle so I will start ovulation test today till I see a LH surge or start my cycle. On the 27th of this month ill have blood work done and see what my progesterone is. Hopefully it will be above 5. If not then they will have to increase the clomid. Jeremy and I are also in the process of moving so I'm painting right now. I'm really learning how large this house is. Hopefully we can get the painting done the beginning of this week. Nervous about what lies ahead but excited about the fact that Jeremy and I are on this journey together.

first round on clomid

Wow so tomorrow I start on clomid 100mg for 5 days. This is supposed to help me ovulate. This month I will monitor my ovulation at home and also have my day 21 labs done. If I did in fact ovulate this month then next month we will try to IUI with the clomid. I am so excited and nervous so in the same. I know the Lord is completely in control and I have to trust him in this journey. I pray that I have no major side effects of the medication and that I ovulate. I truly want to start our family.
