Thanks and an update

Thank you for leaving comments to my last post --- I truly do appreciate the support! I get so excited when I have a comment. haha This whole infertility mess is such a lonely place, and even though Jason and I are going through this together and he is an amazing support system, it oftentimes feels like I am alone. Those of you who have gone through or are going through infertility probably know what I'm talking about. The continued emptiness of my womb, despite our best efforts, the helplessness I feel, and the fact that no matter what anyone says I will always feel as though our infertility is "my fault" because it is my body that has gone rogue, make an already difficult situation even more sad and complicated. So hearing your words of encouragement and love remind me, if even for a little while, that people are thinking of us and that all is not lost.

Ok. That being said, my period did finally arrive on Saturday. Nothing like a 55 day cycle. It's an odd period - unusually light and cramp-free, which makes me feel as though I should probably take a pregnancy test tonight before taking my infertility meds, just to be sure. If the test if negative {as it most likely will be} I will begin day one of five of the increased dosage of the Femara. Instead of 2.5mg, I will be taking 3.75mg (1 1/2 pills). The hope is that the slight increase will be enough to stimulate ovulation. Otherwise, I won't ovulate and next month I will have to take the maximum dosage of 5mg --- which I want to avoid because of my sensitivity to the meds ---> They give me heart palpitations. Wish me luck!
