Today I found a Destination Maternity catalog in my mailbox. . . who sends an infertile a maternity catalog? (Note to self. . . this could be my fault for preemptively purchasing maternity clothes during our first round of IUI, I'm just saying.)
I'm on CD22 or 7-9DPO (depending on how many eggs popped. . . I'm betting on at least one from each ovary this cycle). I almost called for a scan just to see how many follicles I had. . . as if knowing the number would make me feel better. The reality is, when I know how many eggs I have, I start obsessing. Then I feel defeated and like I have broken eggs when none of them take. So this is good for me.
I did not OPK this cycle. . . I did not have a scan. . . I did not have a trigger. I did take clomid 150mg CD3-7 and I did continue to chart my BBT, CM, & cervix position. I did try to space BD out to every other day during my fertile window in the hopes that this would give us a decent shot at sperm and egg meeting up.
I'm on the 21 Day Sugar Detox. . . it's working wonders. Today I had a cheat, I made the decision to have a scone made with tapioca flour & hard cheese (both no-no's). I started feeling crummy shortly after and still have a horrendous headache. Carb hangover? Ugh. . .
The good news is. . . I've lost 13lbs in the past month. I'm also going to Curves 4x each week. I feel less stressed. My skin is already better from eating Paleo and getting the carbs & sugars out of my system (no mid cycle breakout!).
Technically I can test one week from today. Not sure when I will.
