Thats Big Fat Negative on the pregnancy test today!!

It's what I expected though. I just didn't feel pregnant at all. I have a weird sort of acceptance about it this month. Nothing in my life has been easy for me, so why should having a baby be any different? Anyway, I have that appt set up for thursday to talk to the dr about chlomid. I have heard of some girls, like Panda's sister, having a hard time with it. Most women seem to complain of headaches and moodiness more than anything. and it typically only last the 5 days while you are taking it. I'm sure if the progesterone makes me crazy the chlomid will too!

I have done a lot of think about it. My first pregnancy wasn't right from the beginning. I didn't get a positive pregnancy pee test, even after I was a couple of days late. When the dr did the blood test, I was 5 days late for my period. My hcg was only 72, should have been more like 500. My progesterone was only 3, not viable. The second pregnancy started out good. Hcg looked good, I was REALLY sick (which is usually a good thing in early pregnancy!

) My progesterone didn't get checked until about 5 days after my period was late and it was 12, it should be at least over 20. I started the supplements right away. When I went in for the first Ultrasound at almost 6 weeks, all they saw was the sac. We should have seen baby and heartbeat. The tech insisted my dates were off!! I told her that was impossible. The sent me home and repeated the ultrasound a week and half later. We saw baby but the heart wasn't beating. The point to my story is I believe BOTH pregnancies started off with really slow development. Through the on-line research I have done, this leads me to believe I may be releasing immature eggs. My letual phase (the second half of your cycle) is about 13 days, which is usually long enough. We already know my progesterone runs low but I also think my eggs are not developing fully before being released.

Chlomid is supposed to insure that you are releasing bigger, more matured eggs. This also raising your progesterone. I'm willing to put up with the side effects if it will get me pregnant with a baby I can actually carry to term!! Most dr want you to try on your own for a while before putting you on chlomid. The norm is 6 months for someone over the age of 30. I have been trying since FEBRUARY. Granted, I've only been trying 3 months since the last miscarriage but I am not going to let him tell me NO just because he wants me to try longer on my own first! If he can give me a medical reason, well, ok-I'll think about it but otherwise, I plan on walking out of there with a prescription!!
