Things Are Looking Up...

I'm not going to lie, I've lost count as to how many days I have been on the Pregnitude but it's been a little over 2 months now.  I have some exciting and encouraging news to report (sorry, it's not a baby.) I think I am actually ovulating and I can actually tell when I am!  I started testing daily for ovulation around day 8 or so.  This past Friday, so day like 16 of my cycle, I woke up and had some extra cervical mucus and sure enough I got a positive ovulation test.  Considering that I ovulated on day 32 last cycle, this is a great improvement!  While the length of my cycles have varied, I can't recall a time when I was sure I ovulated like this cycle and the one before (that I was taking Pregnitude for as well.)  I'm already wanting to take a pregnancy test, but of course I know it's too early.

I went to my doctor two Friday's ago after having an ultra sound and blood work done.  He told me everything looked fine and that my only problem is that I am not ovulating.  My ultra sound showed no cycts or follicles to show that I have had any recently.  The blood work came back normal so he said he did not believe that I have PCOS, which is a relief that I still don't have that.  He wrote me a prescription for Clomid, so I plan on taking that along with the Pregnitude next cycle if I don't get pregnant.  Helpful hint:  When I took Clomid the first time, I was paying a lot of money for it at Meijer, but I did some research and found that I can get it at Walmart for $4.  I hope I don't need it, but if I do, I want it for cheap!:)

Thinking that this chalky drink I've been drinking for the last two months might be worth it...
