I really just almost took it there.

Wow. Desperation is a MFer. So where did I find myself this morning???? On my computer, filling out the checkout portion of one of those "buy clomid online" websites.

I am coming to terms with the fact that DH has exactly two weeks left here and ovulation is no where to be seen. My head tells me that it is my bodies obvious way of tellling me I am not ready to conceive, but my heart says DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!!! You want that baby don't cha?

This is just so darn frusterating. I know I would concieve on the first try if I could only get that egg to pop out. I did not place the order, but I am shocked at how close I was!

I'm sorry you're struggling, Mama!

Where does DH go in two weeks and how long is he gone? Can you go hardcore TTC when he's back?

[hoping4just1more]

He is going to Afganistan and will be gone for a year. Of course we can try when he gets home and will actually probably unintentionally get pregnant on day 1 lol (fertile mertle here when I am not breast feeding) but we are really not looking forward to getting all the kids into school and then starting over with another LO. We kind of just want to get it out of the way now because we both want one more.

I guess I will just have to accept that we are waiting.

Clomid can help you ovulate if you aren't ovulating, but you should be under a doc's supervision. It can cause some nasty side effects. And for what it's worth, I took Clomid for 7 cycles, ovulated 6 of those cycles, with perfectly timed intercourse each time and only got preg twice (lost the first at 5 weeks - So it's not a guarantee.

Also, I don't know that it will work to take it mid-cycle. My doc had me take it for 5 days starting at CD 3. Some docs have you start it day 4 or 5, but I've never heard of taking it after waiting on ovulation to happen naturally. Another thing is the dosage: You may or may not ovulate on a lower dose, but a too-high dose is more likely to cause dangerous side effects.

I understand the frustration of waiting, believe me. It sucks. But please talk to your doc if you think you may need it.

Oh no I don't need it at all. I am just being impatient waiting to catch my first post pardom egg. I have never had issues TTCing. I shouldn't be in such a rush and just enjoy the time I have with my youngest DD.

But nice to know about all the info you just gave me. That is definantly a detourant from medicating without the help of a physician.

I am just going to wait it out. As people have mentioned before, there is always R&R. I am guessing when he comes home on leave I will be good to go the natural way. Until then I will just keep on keepin on with the OPK's and temping. I can at least pin point my cycles that way and be ready when he gets his break halfway through the tour. I just hope that by then I will have naturally started a period.
