Round Two

Written the beginning of June 2015:

Well I was put on Clomid to help me with my fertility. Waited the 21 days and went in to get my blood work done to see if it helped me ovulate.... Nope... So we upped my dosage.

I just finished round two of the Clomid and now it's the waiting game again. This time around I was sick and nauseous the second to last day of the pill. It made me nervous that I wasn't reacting well with the medicine. However, I was fine later in the day so who knows?

Later I'll go in and get my blood drawn again. I just want my body to ovulate. If I get pregnant, AWESOME! But really at this point I just want to know my body is working so that I can get pregnant.

Another thing I learned I should avoid is soy. That's fine, I can give up soy sauce, I don't usually buy things with soy... Wrong! Soy is everywhere! Who knew? I was taking soy protein... oops... and it's in cooking spray... and worst of all.... chocolate. My one saving grace with this crazy diet has been little happy bites of dark chocolate. I have found some 70% dark chocolate chips and bars that are soy free, but they are a little pricey.

On a brighter note, Nathan let me get a way nice blender. I am in love with it! It makes amazingly smooth green smoothies, hummus, spinach dip, crepes made from oats, and more. But best of all... ICE CREAM! I just blend up frozen fruit with some cream and it is heavenly. I guess it has more of a frozen yogurt consistency. Either way it makes my heart happy! I am quite pleased with our purchase. I've used it at least once a day since we bought it. :)


Until next time with more fun updates!
