update

sometimes no news is good news. other times no news means not really wanting to talk about reality. i'll start with the no news is good news news.

my brother has been clean and sober for five months. my mom, dad, older brother, myself, my hubby & my little brothers girlfriend all flew out for graduation. my older brothers wife and four kids stayed behind. it was the first time my dad has flown since 1982. to say he needed a vacation is an understatement. while i know that my brothers battle is not over - he has the tools he needs to have the best life possible. the amount of peace that has overcome my heart is hard to describe.

now not wanting to talk about reality.

in the last three months - my cycle has gone from 31-33 days to 37. i'm getting an OPT at day 22. not kidding. our dr informed us that after day 18 our chance of miscarriage goes up - however - my follicles look amazing. last month - two of them neck in neck for egg race. so - high miscarriage rate or high multiple rate with clomid. i'm now on day 2 of clomid. i just don't understand after all the crap with A - why are we dealing with crap with me now.

  1. I have been thinking of you nonstop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed you lots, by the way.
    I am so happy to hear this news about your brother, such an amazing for him and your entire family.
    I am sorry for the weird cycles, mine are doing similar things and have become so unpredictable, yuckiness. What does the RE think?? Would they switch meds from clomid to injectables? I did terribly on clomid but great on follistim. Just my 2 cents.
    glad to see you again, remember we take you in both the good and the bad!!!
    sending much love to you.

  2. I don't know if this will help, as I know every woman, every cycle, and every egg is different, but my first two pregnancies were a result of ovulation on or around CD 14 (which supposedly is "normal"). Both pregnancies ended in miscarriage. This past cycle, I did not O until CD 22, and I am currently 8w2d pregnant and have heard Baby's heartbeat (a first for me). So while a late O date may increase your chances of miscarriage, it is definitely not a guarantee. Sometimes things just work out weird.
