Let me start by saying that this whole process has completly humbled me. I have a new found respect for anyone who has traveled this road before me. TTC is no joke. The emotional rollercoaster is something I really thought i was prepared for and strong enough to handle with grace. Boy was I wrong. I now understand why some couples choose to keep everything top secret until they are almost showing. Nothing worst than laying in bed bawling your eyes out and getting several text asking if it 'worked yet'. Those looks of sympathy are enough to make you wanna punch your best friend AND your mom square in the face lol. And I was arrogant enough to start a youtube channel documenting every step... and then had the nerve to leave everyone hanging while I 'figured things out'. I never thought I would feel this way. I will never start testing that early again (7dpo). I went through about $80 worth of those things before I accepted there was a line but it was just an indent. Damn FRERs.
I'm ready to move on to next cycle, picked a new donor and I am glad that last cycle taught me not to put to much energy into that. I was able to narrow it down to 2 guys with in about 30 mins instead of the month and 1/2 process I went through last time. And the learning continues. I know everything happens for a reason. Here's to all the mommas in the making. If no one else feels your pain, I do.

I just had a follow up appointment yesterday where the Dr did more blood work to check my progestrone levels which would decide whether or not I will have to take clomid and informed me that we will check my thyroid levels again in about 2 months. I thought that meant we wouldn't be trying until then but she gave us the GREEN LIGHT!!!

On to this month: I took 50mg of clomid again, Cd5-9 and found out that I had 2 follies at my CD10 scan that measured 16 and 12.5mm. On CD14 at 10pm I got super crampy and decided to take an OPK and got a
Poppa and I have decided that if this cycle doesn't work that we are going to take a break until after New Years and my Dr. has recommended a HSG. Keep your fingers crossed for us!!!

Thanx soo much for checking on us and yes, I delivered Brooklyn Eliza at 37 weeks ( 6 lbs 3 oz 18 1/2 in)!! We found out at 35 weeks that she was breech & I ended up having to have a c-section. For a full labor & delivery story check out my YouTube channel under the same name, aintthatamotha. I also have weekly updates on the baby there.. I will be sure to tell Justin you say hello, he has since lost his two bottom teeth SOOOOO cute lol!!
