It's my birthday!

So today is my 27th birthday. As I have mentioned my goal/plan was to be pregnant or have a baby by now... but no luck. Instead I am waiting to, dealing with all the clomid and met side effects and fighting a massive cold on top of it. I haven't slept at all this week between coughing, nausea and some horrible hot flashes.

Aside from all of that my birthday has been pretty good... my coworkers decorated my cube, baked me cupcakes and took me out for lunch! I have received many phone calls, texts, emails, and facebook posts wishing me a happy birthday- its been nice! Tonight DH is taking me out for dinner and then shopping to get some new jeans (none of mine fit good due to my weight loss)... I am also going to shop before I meet him as my MIL, FIL, and 2 SIL's gave me some money to go shopping!

well cheers to another year.... and hoping this year will be MUCH better than last!

My Birthday...

So it is my birthday later on this week... 27 on the 27th! In celebration of my champagne birthday DH threw me a little party at our house last Friday. It was so much fun and I was so happy that so many of my close friends made it out!


Here are a few of my fave pics from the night:

CD 12

Well I am on cycle day 12 and these Clomid hot flashes are killing me! I was nauseous for the ENTIRE day yesterday and it kept getting worse with each hot flash... and they seemed to last forever. I tried to just ignore them and keep going because it was Easter and we were out visiting. We also went curling with my mom's family and even on the ice I was sweating! When I finally got home I took a bath and then did my hair... I thought I was going to pass out I felt so nauseous. I couldn't fall asleep for the life of me... I was hot and then cold, nauseous and dizzy... it was brutal. I think I maybe got 3 hours total... but very interrupted, I woke up at least once an hour.

DH checked the mail last night when we got home and there was a package for me... I had no idea what it was since I hadn't ordered anything online in awhile... It was from my Nestie TTTC Sister... she sent me a singing card and 2 packages of digital OPK's... so sweet of her and such a nice surprise- she is amazing- thanks again!

So far no O this month... not so patiently waiting... we are just doing TI with the Clomid again this month- I will have a 7DPO P4 test as well. If it doesn't work this month we will try one last cycle on Clomid and then its time to move on... but only after a break for the summer.

Day 3 on Clomid...

So today is day 3 on Clomid... and the side effects have already started! Mostly just hot flashes and not being able to sleep without waking up 100 times! I have also been feeling really nauseous

Other than that I am hoping it will be a good week... It's my birthday party on Friday night- a lot of my friends are coming- I am very excited!! Saturday I am going to see Carrie Underwood... and then on Sunday it's Easter!!

I hope everyone has a good week :)

She's Here...

AF arrived today :(

I am also starting my new prescription today... I asked my doctor awhile ago about switching from regular metformin to an extended release one, she hadn't heard of one, so she put me on avandia... I did some research on it and it doesn't seem right that I would take it for fertility and pregnant women can't take it. So I did some more research and spoke to my pharmacist- he gave me the name of the metformin extended release, I called my doctor- and she sent in a prescription for it... so I start 1000mg of Glumetza at supper tonight!

I will start Clomid again on Saturday- woo freaken hoo.

BFN :(

I woke up this morning and my temp had dropped, I have cramps, I got a BFN and now I am just waiting for AF... I am sure it's just hours away!

THIS SUCKS!!!

New Job...

In the midst of my horrible week I totally forgot to mention I was offered a new job at work... I applied for the position awhile ago, went through all the interviews... and it was offered to me last week. I am really excited about the new job, I think I will enjoy it MUCH more than the job I am currently doing. It is still in the same company and same department, just a much better job!!
