On the Road Again

Today is CD (Cycle Day) 9.  I'm getting nearer to a potential ovulation and getting excited and anxious.  To prepare, I am taking my Dong Quoi, Chaseberry, and drinking pomegranate juice.  I've also been sure to take my multi-vitamin (with 100% recommended daily value of folic acid) every day.  I opted to try this cycle without Clomid.  I'm keeping track of my temperatures and will probably start using ovulation tests tomorrow.  If I ovulate on my own and do not get pregnant, we'll try again next month without Clomid.  However, if I do not ovulate, I'll request it again for next month cycle.  (Next month might be wishful thinking...my cycles have been super long for a year now.)  I didn't like how it made me feel and the complications I had with it, so I hope to avoid taking it again.

So, in the meantime, I'm waiting.  This entire process of trying to get pregnant is a waiting game--and it get very old, very quickly!
