It is Time

Today is CD3.  That means I'll start Clomid tonight. 

You'd think after everything we have been through this would be no big deal.  But honestly.  I'm nervous.  Couldn't say why.  It's just a little pill.  I already take several pills a day.  But it feels like a big step.  Although we've been seeing the RE since June, and although I did have an IUI, HSG and many dates with the dildo cam (all way more invasive than this), I've never taken fertility medications.  Tonight I will.

My H and I sat down and had a pretty serious discussion about where we wanted to go with this cycle.  We did get pregnant with minimal intervention last time.  Did we want to jump to medications/more treatments on this cycle?  We ultimately decided yes.  We've spent enough time waiting and hoping to add to our family.  If this is what it takes to give us our miracle, we're willing to do it.   Obviously my body can ovulate on it's own, but my hope is Clomid will give us more than one target to aim for.  At the very least, I hope it encourages my body to ovulate sooner, therefore shortening my cycles and giving us less time between cycles.

Anyway.  Here we go!
