I'm such a dork!!

Well I was pretty much positive that I did not ovulate this cycle because of working nights, until lunch today. They drew my progesterone levels yesterday to see if I did in fact ovulate. Well it came back 65.3!!!!! It's supposed to be greater than 15 on this day past ovulation. I was totally shocked. This came after my friend Ash sent me a text message that said "I totally think that u are going 2 get a bfp", for those that don't know what a BFP is it stands for "Big Fat Positive". I then proceeded to call her laughing and telling her that I thought she was crazy!! This was all before I got the results back. My opinion changed in the matter of seconds!!!. I know that this does not mean that I'm pregnant but it makes me hopeful that there could be a chance of it this cycle. Before we got the results back Michael and I were talking about getting off of the fertility drugs while I was on nights because I thought that they didn't work this cycle. Michael and I both were super excited and this has made us not want to give up yet!! We shall see what happens. If it doesn't work then we will try again next cycle, maybe adding some accupuncture to it. I've read some great studies that show that this is affective.

Great news abut Michael...I'm soooo proud!! He got a call the other day that said that he was being picked to be the only representative of his division of the A.R.M.Y. reserves to march in the Memorial Day Parade in Washington D.C. in May!!! So we will get to spend a long weekend there. We are soooo excited for him, and also to get to go and see all the historical markers in D.C..

Michael is finishing up another semester of college. It looks like he's going to end up with all A's and B's again. I'm so proud. Work is still keeping us both really busy. I'm starting to get overtime because our census is up. Michael has been lucky to stay close to home right now.

So I guess that's it for now. I will keep you updated.

Up and running

I'm sooo proud of myself for running lately. I've made it up to 3.75 miles!!!! I'm working towards running a 10 K with Ashley in the coming months. We didn't get pregnant this last cycle, but we are back on Clomid. We started it yesterday so I'm hoping for a successful cycle this time. We are both staying really busy still. We are going to Austin this weekend for my birthday!!! We are excited about going and hanging out with friends.

and the temp drops

This morning I woke up to having my temperature drop....which means that I'm out this cycle. I kind of got my hopes up because everything was looking so good. That's my body for you.....it likes to get my hopes up and let me down. I'm going to go run 3 miles and then come back and hope that next cycle is the one. If all goes well then I will be able to take the Clomid this coming cycle.
