Round 1 Results!

 FAIL

TMI Alert- Turn back now!

Ok, don't say I didn't warn you. Hoping to get some feedback from those who used Clomid on the symptoms I've had the past few days.

The Clomid worked in that it gave me a stronger ovulation and it did extend my LP. I had a 27 day cycle (YAY! Previously, they were 25-26 days). I did spot for 4 days though which was kind of a bummer.Yesterday, AF arrived. At first, it was a very dark brown with some black- NOT normal for me. Then, it changed over to it's normal color but why was it so dark to start? Is that normal after Clomid? Did anyone ever spot while on Clomid? I'm wondering if that's preventing implantation or if there had been implantation- if I would not have had the spotting?

Tomorrow starts round 2 of Clomid. As directed, I am going to take it (see, I told you I would when it came down to it LOL) days 3-7 at 50mg again. I am also going to cut way down on my caffeine intake, eat a little bit healthier and try to squeeze more walking into my schedule.

If this cycle does not work, we need to take break. Our wedding is August 16th and I would be due August 12th if we don't. We discussed and during that month break- Chop's gonna take a trip to the doc and get himself checked out to see if he has any male factors that may also be causing an issue. We also decided that if I end up being pregnant at our wedding, it's just something we will have to deal with. The only thing it would change would be my dress or at least some altering to my dress. I really didn't want another winter baby because that part of the year is crazy for us. My mom's birthday is Nov 20, Tyler's Nov 24, Thanksgiving- all in the same week. Then we have a 2 week break and it's Megan's birthday Dec 14, Kallie's Dec 18, Christmas and New Year's. At this point though, we are going to take what we get. Because I'll need another c-section, I'll be able to pretty much pick the most convenient day within a week or so of the due date so that helps.

As far as how far we will go, we won't do anything like IVF- mainly just meds and other things that aren't to much of an 'intervention'. Here's hopin' it works this cycle and we won't need to worry about the 2 w's---wedding and winter!
