They want us to do a repeat semen analysis before we can do the Clomid. Hazen had already planned to do that this Wednesday, but since we have to wait on the results and I am 14dpo...there is no way I can start it this next cycle. They also want me to come in for an ultrasound between days 1 and 3 before I can start the Clomid to make sure everything looks good. The plus side is that I am 14dpo...my luteal phase has been averaging 10 to 12 days, and this is two cycles in a row of at least 13 days. Not bad!
Waiting for Clomid sucks for a couple of reasons. The main one is that we should have orders within the next couple of weeks. Which means we're moving and I won't have my doctor anymore. Which means I'll likely be at the mercy of military doctors and have to start everything FROM THE BEGINNING. I will have to see my primary care doctor and get a referral to an OB or RE. I will possibly have to do more testing despite the fact that I've already had it done. Since everything has to be done on specific cycle days, the testing alone can put us back a couple of cycles (and this is after we wait for our referral). So if we can even start Clomid before the 6 month mark that endo "generally" starts to come back, it will be amazing. And then of course it sucks because this is a decision we've been struggling with and we've finally made it and now we get to wait.
Oh well. All we can do is keep trying. ;)

Yes. Keep trying. And be grateful for opportunities to not HAVE to make decisions. Consider it a blessing. The decision was made for you. There's nothing to do but live in the moment. And get thee to a spa or yoga class. Seriously. Treat yourself to some relaxation. Do something to relieve your stress. DO IT!
