yes that's right the final dose of 250mg of comid worked. To ovulate your progesterone levels should be 15 and mine was 21.6. Unfortunately I dont think Im pregnant because I have been to sick with influenza A and strep to "try"
But that is a good thing because I dont have maternity leave at work until December so we are going to wait a month or two before we try again because i really want to have maternity leave...if not forever leave. I really want to be a stay at home mom. But I dont think we quite have the finances yet :(
regardless of all the minor details Im so excited we found something that works!!!
a BIG relief

Helping others with infertility
I found this online from a friend and have passed it on to most of my family and friends please sign it, here is a description:
Right now there are roughly 15 states that have a law requiring that insurance
companies carry infertility coverage. It is a crock that insurance companies will pay for birth-control pills, abortions, and sterilization methods as well as pregnancy coverage but will not help the 1 in 6 americans that battle with infertility. Our neighbors to theeast (Illinois) is one of the states that requires coverage. Please sign this petition to be sent to the Iowa legislature to demand that we here in Iowa get infertility coverage too! It would be a godsend to childless couples in this state to be able to try to have our own biological child without worrying about the costs! (IVF ranges from 11,000-15,000 a try!) Please help and send this petition on to everyone you know so maybe we can get this passed!
please send this to your friends and family...they dont have to bee from iowa to sign it

Here we go again
So when I went to the Dr. on tue. she told me that if this dose of 250mg of clomid didnt work that she would bump me back down to 150mg of clomid combined with....da da da daaaa.....metformin...like I suggested in the beginning.
Im glad she is going to do it but I wish she would have done it sooner. Im glad we dont have to go to the U of I and this route will only cost a little bit more then it did for just plain clomid.
I will start this sometime in the next two weeks.
It was a horrible Dr. visit though because every single person in there is pregnant and that just makes me envious.
AND
I know the blood drawing ladies by first name ...and I got the bad one who always manages to make it pinch ...well this time she when to take the vial of blood off and bent the needle while it was still in my are and she cause blood to pool by the vein and then it bleed like crazy and now its this big bruise with a pea sized ball of blood clotted under there. Next time Im asking for the other girl.
So I got the flu yesterday and since about 10am yesterday I haven't been able to eat anything...even water or it comes back up...until this morning that is, now im eating 7up and crackers...so far so good!
Kati has a cold too and keeps sneezing in my face and
Rusty (the goat) had to have one of his horns removed today in an emergency surgery. It was cracked at the base and bleeding all over ean had to take him into the vet on a dog leash. so now he will be a one horned goat!
So needless to say the Caskey's (except Ean bless his heart & Kev is good) are all in bad shape.
Im going back to bed with the doggies!

FYI
Just wanted to let you know that I go back to the Dr. on the 19th for my final clomid check. So I will keep you posted on that. My diet is going well....I didn’t have any carbs yesterday and only a few today, I don’t have to completely eliminate them but every time I eat them it raises my insulin in my blood and unlike normal people it stays high so that’s motivation, to know that okay if you eat this cookie then your gonna cause the insulin levels in your blood to rise thus affecting your hormones and chances at a baby. When I do get pregnant and if I don’t have gestational diabetes, I’m gonna eat all the cake and chips I can :) (within reason) ahhhh wishful thinking! p.s. incase you didn’t know I HATE being cold and it hasn’t gotten above 32 in almost a month……grrrrrr.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

HOLY HORMONES
WOW, today was exceptionally weird for me.
You know how when pregnant women say they have pregnancy brain:
Well I think my hormones were replicating that today, I spent more time wandering around trying to remember why I went back to my desk or what client I was going to go get once I got out into the big room, It was like someone had taken the memory part of my brain away. On top of that I started to have really bad hot flashes and had to step outside cause I felt like I was gonna pass out or something.
I took the last dose of clomid toady!!
In other news the clense is going good, Ean is happy that I poo now lol. I'm eating healthier, but still slip up on the carbs pretty often. I'm trying not ot eat carbs becasuse they sustain the level of insulin in my blood which messes with my hormones which is the main reason I dont ovulate. I have found lots of research that suggests 4-6 months of eating little carbs, mostly organic food and taking fish oil supplements and your body starts to heal and you are able to ovulate again.
AND one of the side effects(of not eating carbs) is weight loss :)
Exercising is hard for me, Im just not into it, but I did walk the dogs sunday in a small blizzard! They enjoyed it.
Well Im off to watch the news and go to bed, I think Im going to have to get up early and call into work! :) because we are gonna get 12 inches of snow.
