Planning is fun


CD47

As we get closer to the end of the progesterone pills I am starting to plan out the timing of this cycle.  If I take my last pill on Wednesday night it is possible for me to have a CD1 of Friday…most likely Saturday though.  I am wondering if being on progesterone for 12 days instead of the 7 days I did before will have any impact on the length and strength of my period.  Hopefully it will stay around 4-5 days.

So if CD1 is Friday then CD3 will be on Sunday.  It isn’t ideal to have to go get blood work and an ultrasound on a Sunday during Labor Day weekend, but at least we have no concrete plans.  Then I would be taking Clomid Sunday night through Thursday night with a CD 12 ultrasound on Tuesday the 11th.  Then hopefully doing the IUI sometime that week.  

I am a little nervous that first ultrasound won’t show any large follicles because I feel like since my cycles are longer that I would ovulate later, but I am not sure how the Clomid plays into this.  Hopefully it grows some big ones (but not too many) quickly! 

It is kind of sad that before we even begin this cycle I am thinking of what we should do next cycle if this doesn’t work. I should have a little more positivity now that I am under the care of a specialist, but I guess I don’t want to get too excited (although I am sure I will still get excited during the 2ww).  I have no way of knowing if this round of Clomid will even have an impact on me!  Here’s to hoping!
