Sweet Pea St.Vincent

Weekly Update

How am I feeling? Tired! Not really nauseous, but a very queasy tummy. Oh the bloat!! None of my pants button and if it wasn't for the belly band, I would be a miserable momma. Hair & nails growing, growing, growing!!

How do I look? Same.... just a little bloated

Milestone of the week: seeing the flutter of the baby's heartbeat! Amazing!

What is the little bambino up to? Baby's now the size of a sweet pea! Growing like crazy, baby is starting to sprout eyes, ears, nose, cheeks, and chin. Those little hands and feet -- still webbed like paddles -- might wiggle by week's end, the heart is beating (almost twice as fast as yours!), and blood is starting to circulate.

What am I craving? Not too much - an oyster po-boy is what I wanted today. My mind will most likely change tomorrow.

Aversions? Peanut Butter and anything sweet.

What am I looking forward to? Starting to show more and more...

Weight gain: +4 lbs.

Bummer! I didn't ovulate this month!! Don't know why I did last month but didn't this month?! So, on to trying again! Dr. T decided to put me on 50mg again. I figured she would bump it up since I didn't ovulate, but she didn't. Once again, don't know why! And I have a UTI! Real fun week I am having lol!!!

BFN

Started my cycle Sunday afternoon... BUMMER! On a good note though, at least the Clomid worked and I did ovulate! On to Clomid Cycle #2! I will start the Clomid Thursday!

I ovulated!

The nurse called me yesterday afternoon to let me know my progesterone level was 19.5! That is the highest it has ever been! So all we know, at this time, is that I ovulated! I have to wait 2 weeks and take a pregnancy test. This will be the longest 2 weeks ever! I wanted to take one last night lol! I am just so excited that the clomid worked! We are getting somewhere now!

Happy Nurses Day!

Clomid Cycle Numéro 1

I went to the OB/GYN yesterday and it was quite a pleasant experience. I have the best doc in the world! She looked over all the labs, etc. from the RE in Tulsa and she could not figure out why he never drew a 21-day Progesterone or and LH/FSH. Je ne sais pas! I just assumed he knew what he was doing lol! Anyway, Dr.T decided to go ahead and proceed... She prescribed me 200mg Prometrimum to induce menses and 50mg Clomid to induce ovulation.

I started my 10 day dose last night of Prometrium. After AF arrives, I am bound to a strict day-by-day situation. I will take 50mg Clomid on days 5-9. (I am debating on whether to start taking BBT. I have done that before and it gets quite frustrating.) Anyway, days 12,14,16 are hopefully conception days (hehe!) and then I will have bloodwork on day 21 to check my Progesterone level. If it is low, then we will bump up the dosage of clomid to 100mg next month. If it is high, then we will wait a week and take a pregnancy test!

Everyone keep their fingers crossed and continue praying!! Thanks guys!

On the road again...

The road is all the lies between us and Shreveport, Louisiana! The hockey season is over, didn't end the way we would have liked, but we are looking forward to getting back home with family! The guys played all the way to the last game and the fate just wasn't in their hands. But, hey, everything happens for a reason and there is always next year!! But, we thoroughly enjoy the summers since it is relaxation everyday all day until the next season starts back up. We are not too sure as of right now what next season will bring but we are trusting God! And as soon as I have details on where we will be, I will blog all about it :)

I have an appointment May 5th with my OB/GYN to start this fertility stuff up again. The plan right now is to do a 21-day Progesterone blood test to see if I am ovulating then possibly start Clomid. After I get the results and we figure out where to go from there, I will also blog about that as well :)

It will be so nice to get out of this hotel and eat some home cooked food lol! I am craving things that can only be cooked on a stove!! I also think this is a great time to be going home because my mom is needing lots of help at her shop (www.moms2bee.com) since her worker decided to quit VIA TEXT! Absolutely unbelievable! So, looks like I will be helping her while Guy is out golfing lol! Good times! Also this summer will be our 1st anniversary so we are totally looking forward to that! Well, I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter and the next time I blog, hopefully I will be full of good news :)
