Not so bad so far!

The meds. have been good to me so far. I only did my second day, but no side effects really so far other than the weird dreams I keep having. I don't really expect them to start up until the end of the dosage cycle, day 7 of the cycle. I'll start opk (ovulation prediction kits) when I'm done with the clomid. For you that aren't firmilar with those, they help dectect the hormones that show you are ovulating. I usually start right after the clomid because I always think I'll miss it. I have some of the cheaper ones that I got from a friend, so it hasn't cost us too much yet. I'll have to get more at the end of this cycle though becuase I'm getting low. :) Hopefully, I won't need them. Usually it goes that I have a faint + (positive) but, that's due to the medication. So, I watch the line disappear and when it re-appears, I know that it's the "real thing". There are just times when this is so darn difficult and wonder if it's all worth it. But, I think it is. Whatever is in store for us, we'll appreciate it that much more. If IVF or adoption is in our future, at least we will have the peace of mind to know that we've tried everything else in our power before that. I'm sure that will help with any of the decisions we may make.

I would really like to try IVF, but $10,000 is a lot of money that we don't have right now. Not many people have that in their accounts these days anyway. I would just like to be pregnant one last time. Just one more healthy baby is all I'm asking for. I try to say one healthy term pregnancy so that I keep my thoughts away from the ectopic chances and the chances of miscarrage. Who knew it can be so difficult! I hope this isn't a preview of the stubborness I'll have to deal with when he/she gets here finally. :) I think this is part of the Ryan stubborness. :)
