The great debate.... When to test. Tomorrow is 11DPO. I usually begin spotting at 10DPO and AF usually arrives the next morning. I don't know what to think when I don't have the spotting. Do I test tomorrow and risk a BFN because it's too early or do I just go ahead and test because I have so many screaming at me everytime I walk in the bathroom?
Ugh. I guess I will just wait and see what my gut tells me when I get up to go to the restroom in the morning... I am starting to get anxious and really hopeful and I am afraid of being crushed and heartbroken once again. I mean, why would this month be any different than the rest. Well. Clomid, elevated hips AND instead cups. I guess those reasons are good enough...
I guess I will see what the morning brings.
Symptoms today:
Craving Mayonaise (I HATE MAYO)
Hunger Before noon (never eat before 1pm)
Fatigue
Acid Reflux/indigestion
Nothing major...

Waiting to O is definitely worse than the 2WW!!!
Waiting to O really stinks sometimes! Especially when you have absolultely no idea when it's going to happen. I thought the Clomid was supposed to assist in that issue. I am on CD15 and have yet to have any O signs. Very scant EWCM for a couple days (nothing like usual) and no positive OPK. According to my doctor, when on Clomid, you *should* ovulate between 5 and 9 days after your last pill. Today is the 8th day after.... I do also know that Clomid makes quite a few people O later than usual. So here I sit.... Just waiting...
I did get to try the instead cups last night. I actually like them quite a bit. I didn't have to lay in bed for 30 minutes with my hip on a pillow! I popped on in and got dressed and went for a ride on the motorcycle... It wasn't uncomfortable... I couldn't even tell it was there. I think I will continue to use them!
That's really all I have for now... Will update when something more exciting happens!

Clomid Round 1...
This week has been HORRIBLE! I am so happy to be on the Clomid and I pray it will work, I just never imagined it would have such an effect on me. I take it at 5pm, right when I get home from work... I figured that by the time it would really kick in I would already be in bed. WRONG!!!
My moods are up and down all day and all night. I have never gone from grumpy to happy to crying for no reason all within an hour before. This is not an exaggeration! Not at all. My poor DH doesn't know what to think. And DD said, "Mommy, your head is mixed up."
I am hoping that the moodiness will subside after I stop taking them. Tomorrow is the last pill.
I am praying that this will be our cycle. That we will get our BFP before the end of the year. That my body will take to the Clomid and I will Ovulate sometime next week. I am just crossing my fingers! DH and I will BD til we are blue this month! It is going to happen! LOL
Night!

AF Finally decided to show...
I think I am finally confident enough that I can post this! AF showed this morning! I knew with all the spotting I have had for the las 8 days she was definitely going to show and that I was NOT pregnant! It is always bittersweet... Starting a new cycle. It's like my 13th fresh start. LOL... I finally get to start the Clomid! I have heard lots of Clomid success stories lately so I am hoping to be able to add my own... Looks like I won't be testing at all in the month of November... A little Christmas miracle would be amazing. I am looking forward to this cycle as I am hoping it works out like the Vitex did. I had a picture perfect cycle on Vitex. O on CD 13 and no spotting! I am praying that Clomid is the answer to our - well my problems!

Starting my Blog
Well, I figured that this might be a great way to start getting things off my chest.
My name is Tiffani and my husband is Ronnie. We have one daughter (Hannah) whom will be 6 years old this coming February. DH works for Hooters as a general manager and I work for UPA - a wholesale distributor in customer service.
So here goes our TTC story...
I have been off of birth control for 12 months now. Originally I came off of it because my body had a strange reaction to Estrogen and my blood pressure was off the charts. After talking it over with my husband we decided I wouldn't be seeking a different form of birth control. We were ready for number two - or just about. For the first 5 or 6 months we were just BDing when we felt like it. I saw my midwife in may for my annual and she had me start temping... This is when I became really obsessive. However, this is also when I realized just how irregular my cycles are. I wasn't ovulating until late in my cycle if I ovulated at all. I saw my midwife in August and she ran some Blood Work and did an Ultrasound but she said that everything looked perfectly normal. I couldn't let it go. I decided that since her answer to my abnormal bleeding was "keep trying" that I needed a second opinion.
I saw Dr. Thomas Enyart on October 21st. He went over my charts and decided to start me on Clomid with this next cycle. I was SOOOOOO excited! I was finally getting some answers and support. He also determined that I have a "spec" on my cervix that is easily aggravated and could be the cause of a lot of my spotting issues... I left for vacation knowing that since it was already so late in my cycle that there was a good chance that I would NOT ovulate at all this cycle.
We had a great time in the Keys! Rode the bikes had fun with friends. I came home from the Keys with the Flu and just for the heck of it, I used an OPK and don't you know it was + !!!! So, for the next 4 days, flu and all we DTD!! I just thought for sure that the stars had aligned and this was going to be it! Why else would the timing be SO right? Well, at 4DPO my hopes diminished quickly when I started spotting...
For the first time in this whole journey, I broke down. I cried and I turned to my babyzone friends for support. I honestly just felt like giving up. I thought for sure I would count yesterday as CD1... But, just as soon as I thought for sure AF was here, she disappeared, completely. I bought a new BBT and I had the highest oral temp I have ever had this morning... I am just so confused. Don't worry though! I will totally keep you posted!
