Day 21

I've really been neglecting my blog lately. Yesterday we had a BBQ with some friends, the weather really sucked and some people didn't show up, but we had a really good time. It was great to spend some quality time with some people I hadn't seen in awhile, it also helped to get my mind off of everything. Troy and I were both exhausted, Troy especially-he'd be up since 1 AM the night before! We both passed out about 10:30. Fortunately Troy woke me up getting back into bed this morning because I realized I had a doctors appointment this morning! It was 7 when I woke up so I set my alarm for 9:15 and went back to bed.

I got the results a lot earlier than I've ever gotten them. The doctor called about 2:30 this afternoon. My progesterone was at 2.something. Definately not where we want it at! I keep going to back to something my chiropractor said a couple years ago. She did this weird "test" thingy where she'd touch different parts of my body while applying pressure to my outstretched arm. If my arm gave out, it meant the area she was touching was "weak." While she's doing this, I mention there's a chance I might have fertility issues (this was before all our treatments and what-not). So she puts her hand over my right ovary, arm still stable. She puts her hand over my left ovary, my arm goes down. So she said my left ovary was weaker than my right..............

That being said, 3 out of the last 4 months my left side has cramped up around Day 14. Last month (when my progesterone was the highest) my right side cramped up. I know in a normal woman ovulation is supposed to alternate every other month, but I don't think mine is. And I think when I'm supposed to ovulate from my left side, I'm not. I feel it's too late in our Clomid cycles to do anything about it. But it will definately be the first thing I mention to the RE if we have to go to one.

Troy and I had been preparing ourselves for the RE discussion, but when I was on the phone with the doctor she asked if we wanted to do a final round of Clomid or go straight to the RE. I thought this current month we are on was our last cycle, but apparently we have one more to go. Troy and I had already decided we were going to wait until after vacation to see the RE (which is still a sensitive matter with me), so I made an impromptu decision to do the last round of Clomid. That will put us late July-early August and then if we're not pregnant we will wait until the first of September to see the RE. 

On a more positive note, Troy let me get a Nook today and we (myself and the Nook) have been practically inseparable!!
