Weekly update for Sunday May 19th...

Who I am: Anne

cycle day: 28

My treatment this month:

Rx: Clomid, Guaifenesin, Estrogen, allergy meds

OTC: prenatal vitamins, tylenol

Other stuff:

No sign of AF yet.. have cramps, but have had those on and off for about

a week. I have NO idea what is going on in my own body, and it is

driving me bonkers!

I have taken 3 HPTs but all were negative, I am hoping that maybe I just

took them too soon, but I am trying NOT to get my hopes up too high!! I

am not doing too well on that aspect though because I went shopping with

my Mom and Terry the other day... I bought some new bras (I hate bras!!)

but one them I bought is pregnancy/breast feeding bra, I sure hope I

will be able to grow into it. My Mom has told me on numerous occasions

that she didn't get boobs until she got pregnant and had kids, so I am

hoping that happens for me too!!

Last week was kind of a bad week for me. I sure hope this week is much

better!!

Last Sunday (Mother's Day) some pictures that can't be replaced were

ruined because I was trying to hurry changing my film because my

cousin's were in a hurry to leave. It still breaks my heart that the

pictures were ruined!

Wednesday (cd 24), Thursday (cd 25), & Saturday (cd 27) I took HPTs but

all came back negative.

Then to top it all off... I lost the keys to my truck yesterday ~my

ONLY set of keys & it has the controls for the truck alarm on it too~ I

am praying that the keys are at the paint store (which of course is NOT

open today) so I will call there tomorrow!! We had to go get new paint

for the upstairs bedroom where we will sleep starting next week when my

Mom comes home from the hospital after her 4th ankle surgery (since

6/27/2001). Her surgery is Friday May 24th, so I may not be around much

after that for awhile!!

I really should be doing the laundry, but I can't get motivated enough

to do it or anything else for that matter right now!! All I really want

to do is cry & sleep!! I don't know what is going on in my body, and it

is upsetting me. If I am indeed not pregnant, I am going to ask if we

can up the clomid ( I know this will make me even more emotional, but I

can't keep doing this without totally losing my mind all together!).

Maybe upping the clomid will get something going. Because we still

don't know if the other RM clinic will even take us on as patients

because of my 'high risk' status for things. So if we can succeed

before having to go there it would be best for us all around.

I am going to get off the computer now... do something although I don't

know what at the moment. My fingers are so swollen that I had to fight

to get my wedding rings off to hang on my necklace. For awhile we

thought I would have to go to the ER to get them cut off because i had

no circulation to my left ring finger. I don't know why I am all

swelled up, I haven't had steroids since April 30th, so I am pretty sure

that it isn't the problem, at least not the biggest part of the problem.

Okay I'll stop now! I hope everyone is having a good week!!

Love Always,

Anne
