I feel so bad for Megan. It's only the second day of clomid and she's already getting symptoms. Hopefully this translates to something GOOD for us!!
I also feel bad for her because I'm having a negative day. Out there in the blogosphere, it just seems like everyone gets pregnant on the first try or has to do IVF. I mean, I know that's not the case at all, but my goodness, I just feel so much like this might never work. I mean, I trust the RE and I know that she's doing her best. I trust Megan to take care of her body. And I know our new swimmers are going to be GREAT! But still, I'm so stressed out. I just feel like if it doesn't work this time it's going to kill me. I now I need to work on that attitude, but it's just so challenging.
And I'm torn about the monitoring too. I mean, we really, really, really can't afford to have the $800 of bloodwork done every month. And we can't afford the $1000 for ultrasounds either. We can do the US at the hospital for free, which will be great, because the results can still get to the RE realtime. But the bloodwork, I don't know. What if we don't catch the surge well enough with the OPK at home? Argh!!! I'm just so...yeah. Sad that we have to make this decision. Yeah. Why can't we just have all the money in the world? That would make it much more simple. One day, we'll have enough. One day, I'll be able to support Megan and our family and we won't have to worry about these things. One day SOON. Just not now. I just can't give her enough right now.
I think I'm going to cry.
So, I guess I need to get away from the computer for a while. If I had a picture of a sad face I would put it on here...

I hate OPK's and I refused to do them. Trying to figure out if the control line is darker than the test line is enough to drive anyone insane. (HPT's are much better - any line counts). I suggest asking for a trigger shot, that way when the follies are a certain size, you just trigger and don't have to worry about OPKs.
OPKs are a rotten joke, I totally agree. Next month (if there is one) I'll be asking about a trigger shot. Seems like a bit more accurate way to do the timing than the OPK. Thanks for the tip :)
