New plan

I left a message this morning for the nurses at the RE's office telling them that I had started my period. I mentioned that I would appreciate if they could talk to the RE and call me back instead of me having to come into talk to him face-to-face and spend $170 for 5 minutes of his time. Thank goodness they did (I saved $170) and it was my favorite nurse who called me back.

The plan is:

• Clomid 50mg CD 3-7
• Ultrasound - Monday July 27th - CD 14
• IUI #2 w/ HCG trigger - (date depends on ultrasound)

I asked her about OPK's and temping. In the past when I get a positive OPK my temp doesn't rise until 3-4 days later. She agreed that was strange and not the way its supposed to work (I joked that if my body worked the way it supposed to I would be needing her services). I told her my EWCM correlates w/ the positive OPK, but not w/ my temp. She said some womens temps just don't jump as quickly after O as they are suppose to, which is why my OB and RE have told me to use temps loosely. She told me to throw my thermometer away!! I probably won't, but I am done putting so much emphasis on it. She said the OPK's and CM are more reliable signs. I am having an ultrasound and being closely monitored this cycle so I won't need to analyze all the signs...whew!!! The big difference between this cycle and last is that my RE is not out of town, so I will be able to do the IUI. I am feeling hopeful again.

DH and I are going on a nice relaxing trip this weekend. We are leaving thursday and can't wait to do nothing!!!
