What followed

After the HSG I had blood work scheduled for my "day 21" count. Basically this would tell me if I ovulated on time or not. I had not had a positive OPT (ovulation prediction test) nor had my temperature told me anything so I wasn't expecting good news. However, I didn't expect it to be what it was. They want your number to be over 15 and mine was .4  I was crushed.  Basically my body wasn't doing what it was supposed to. I held it together and the nurse told me that we would start clomid on my next cycle.
What she didn't tell me was that because of low numbers, my cycle would be off (and it had been off for awhile!). So I ended up having to take progesterone pills called Provera to make my cycle start. And then we did the clomid. So once again I was scheduled for blood work on day 21. 50mg of clomid. The combination of the two medicines made me an emotional trajn wreck. Everything made me cry and poor Joseph got to deal with mh crazy moods! Oh how I prayed it would work even just a slight bit. But then I got the call. Remember that number that was supposed to be over 15 and mine was .4? Well this time it was .35 even lower.  She told me we would double to 100mg for the next cycle and then we hung up. I cried and cried. And prayed and cried somemore. All the while being so thankful for a sister who understands and a mother who is so sympathetic.  I have a husband who is patient and our God who is constantly with us and never leaving us even when I feel all hope is lost I know he is there.
