Quick Reference

Although infertility is not life-threatening (most times), it is a serious medical condition especially when coupled with other ailments.  I know you may mean well...or may not even realize how harmful your comment may be to me. There are some key things that you should never say to someone battling infertility. Here are a few I'm particularly sensitive about: 

*You're so young... you have plenty of time! 
 
*Just relax... it takes time.
 
*Enjoy your sleep
 
*if you want a child take mines.
 
Instead of saying the above things, please say this: 

*You will be a great mom one day.
 
*I'm praying for you.
 
*I'm here if you need me. ~This one is especially dear to my heart because some days I may just need someone to be silent with, other times I may need someone to vent to, and most days I just like the fact your are there as a distraction from my baby mania.

30 day recap?

Sorry for the lack of communication, it's been a while since I have been on here...technically over a month.  I guess you could say that is a good thing because I actually was able to focus on other things besides getting pregnant.  I just think my distractions are that great when a few of them cause me great frustrations and stress.  Currently I am on day 5 of my July Cycle and am on 150mg Clomid from day 4 to day 10.  I have a set appt for July 21st (day 13) to check my ever so uncooperative follicles to see if they are maturing and growing in size as they should be.  I am hoping for ovulation this month and conception with natural baby dancing.  Speaking of baby dancing I we go away on the 22nd for the weekend.  that's the start of my window of opportunity..lol  This shall be interesting.

Sidebar I think have a regular drug induced cycle is working well for me.  April was 8 days of bleeding(still in the top 5 of lowest amount of days bleeding), May was 7 days, June was 7 days and July is looking like a close contender for 6 days.  I will accept this as my small win for the moment...hopefully this continues because I am definitely getting spoiled.
