18-3-2012 - Moving on...

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

Got my period today, which I'm looking at as a good thing because I already knew I'm not pregnant, and now we can move on with a fresh cycle! Should start with 150 mg Clomid on Tuesday, and look forward to an IUI in the next two weeks or so. Tomorrow is one year from the due date of the baby I lost. I can't help but think that I "should have been" having a super cute 1st birthday party this weekend, so I'm happy for the distraction of a fresh cycle.

I also think I'm going to give temping another go this cycle. I was doing it for a while and then sort of got sick of it because every cycle seemed so hopeless. But I'm thinking that temping may give me some insight into what is going on in the 2ww, and that watching to see if my temp stays up will give me something daily to look forward to when I'm stuck in that long stretch. Plus maybe it will hurt less if I start to see a temp. drop before my blood test...then I can sort of prepare myself for a negative. I know that sounds pessimistic, but I'm at the point where I sort of need to expect a BFN and protect my heart a little.
