So I started spotting this morning. Even though I knew Clomid wasn't going to work, I still wasn't expecting it. Not sure how I'm feeling at the moment. Upset is definitely at the top, followed by angry, tired, worn out, stressed, and if I'm being honest, an all around sense of just plain Over It.
I haven't decided if I'll do another round of Clomid next month yet. I know I'll have to decide in the next couple of days but I'm still torn. We're trying to save for a trip to Tennessee which makes saving for both really hard. At first, I had already made the decision to postpone future rounds of Clomid until the 1st part of the year.
However, my nurse called me yesterday and said the results of my progesterone test was in. In order to "prove ovulation" the progesterone level needs to be at least 10. If the woman is on medication, it should be at 15. Mine tested at 17.8!!! Which means I had a great ovulation. After hearing that, I started second guessing my decision to quit.
My sister Meagan had a really smart answer. Find out if the 17.8 was a result of Clomid. If it was, I should keep going another month since its helping to give my body a high ovulation level. If Clomid is NOT the reason for the 17.8, that means my body is working well on its own and I probably don't need to spend all that money on another round of Clomid. At least not for a few months. I think that's great advice.
So I'll probably call on the 1st day of my period and see what they say. Then I'll just make the decision quickly before I can change my mind.
I'm not angry at God or anything that this Clomid didn't work. But He and I are going to have a loooong talk when I'm finished here.
