A Fresh Idea!

It's now been 5 weeks exactly since my miscarriage. So weird to think that I would be 10 weeks and 3 days along right now. WOW! A little depressing still but fun to imagine because I know it will happen for us again. :)

Today is CD 37 and AF has still not shown up. I took several HPT's a few days ago and they were negative, so I am playing the waiting game. Once AF arrives, I will focus on doing what I can to get back on track since we took this month off of trying to recover from the miscarriage. We've since come up with some new plans and changes to our strategy.

First and most importantly, I'm trying to find a new doctor. I want a female OB/GYN and I won't settle for what I have been getting. I want a doctor who fully understands what it means to be a woman, as well as someone who is focused on meeting my specific needs. I begin the search on Monday!

Second, I'm giving myself until the beginning of August to become pregnant again before we take a year-long break. I have two cycles of Clomid left. I will use them this cycle (whenever it decides to show up) and then the following cycle as well. If we still don't conceive, we will try naturally until August and if still nothing, we will stop trying and I will begin a Dental Hygiene program. It's just under 1 year; with about 6 months in class and 6 months interning. I will graduate in July 2013 and we will resume our efforts to conceive via our first round of IUI (intrauterine insemination) with injectables. That is basically as far as our plans have gone, but once we are able to, we will start saving up for an IVF fund so that if we need to cross that bridge, we can do so well-prepared.

I guess that's it for now. Other than having some serious cramping and pinching in my lower abdomen lately, I've got nothing else to add! Thanks for reading... XoXo
