Onto the next cycle...

My period showed last night. I had a 40 day cycle with only a 10 day luteal phase. I knew the odds were not in my favor, but I couldn't help getting my hopes up anyway. The odds of getting pregnant with two healthy tubes are only about 20-25% in any given cycle...with a hydrosalpinx tube, the odds are less than half of that. It just sucks.

I'm not going to use Clomid. I read an article that suggests Clomid can actually make the hydro worse due to the super stimulated ovaries. I'm not sure how true that is, but I would really rather not make things worse if I can help it. So I will chart until ovulation is confirmed, and then put away the thermometer. I get too obsessive about my 2ww temps to the point that sleeping is difficult which then makes my temps less accurate...it's dumb and there is no reason to do that to myself.

I just have to stay optimistic--someday I WILL have another baby!!
