Do What When?

If I could have a sub-title for this post it would be: 'Over-sharing At Its Finest'
These past few weeks have been a whirlwind for me. Is anybody out there with me? It seems like the second I get one issue resolved, something else pops its ugly little head up. Thankfully, I have a hubby who acts as the duct tape that holds me together.

We started off the month by going to the Lady Doctor (as I lovingly call her) to discuss the next step in our quest for parenthood. She told me some things she'd like for me to do first, I told her what I would and wouldn't do in the process, and then we landed on Clomid. (Click the link to learn more about it.) She basically said that we could give it a try and see how it works for us. It's only wise to take 6 rounds (and by rounds I mean taken in conjunction with 6 cycles), so the heat is on. Well, at least I thought it would be. The closer I get to the actual date that I start taking it, I am finding myself very calm and collected about the whole thing. Yes, it could work and we'll have a baby (or 2!) or it could not work and we'll be heading the adoption route. Either way, for us the end result is adding a Todd-ler or two to our crazy little family.

So back to the title of this post... It was actually pretty funny sitting in the room with Chase who had never been in a torture chamber gyno's office before and was being a total middle-schooler every time she said sex. He sat in his corner and giggled... It was hard to be nervous with all that going on behind her. She was rambling off all these numbers and days and when we needed to take what. I finally just said "Are you going to write this down? I mean, is there a quiz at the end?" Luckily, the good doc has a sense of humor and assured me that she'd have her nurse write it down for me. I'm going to share it with you guys so you can be just as confused as I am...thank goodness I've had to repeat it so many times that I actually have my head wrapped around it...

Day 35 of cycle, if I haven't started, take Provera for 10 days
Day 45 of cycle, you should start new cycle
Day 5 of new cycle, take dose 1 of Clomid
Day 9 of cycle, take dose 5 of Clomid
Day 12 of cycle, have fun
Day 14 of cycle, have fun
Day 16 of cycle, have fun
Day 18 of cycle, have fun
Day 21 of cycle, come back for blood work

She made Chase blush by specifically telling him not to even try on the odd days even though she knows he's a man and he'll want to. I thought that was hilarious! We are not too far in to the process and with everything hinging on my PCOS and my cycle working with me and not against me, I could be in a holding pattern for a little while. Hopefully I'll be moving forward soon!

That's all I've got for now.
