How the First Cycle Went

Z started her Provera on 2/10/2010.. At day 5 of 10 with her pills she started AF. She had some cramping that left her in the fetal position for about 20 minutes a few times every couple days and she seemed to be filled with rage and crying spells. She thought that it was just breakthrough bleeding because it got really light after about 24 hours. Doctor said that once bleeding starts whether heavy or light it's still considered a period and once period starts then stop taking Provera. So Z took Clomid for the first time on 2/16/15. Z believes she experienced hot flashes. But not many of them. It all of a sudden felt like she was having an anxiety attack mixed with her face feeling like she was burning in front of a fireplace. She ovulated on CD 18, 3/5/14. Unfortunately life got in the way and we did not BD on that day or the day after. So probably not going to happen this month. On day 21, 3/9/15 Z had her progestrone levels checked. They test declared her level was at a 2 with the hormones. They need to be in the teens. Not too discouraged thanks to some of the support group ladies. They say it's easily fixable with medicine and being more active. So DR is upping my Clomid for next month. FX!

Step 1

We went to my Ob/Gyn. We will do the following for 3 months. If no pregnancy for three months then we will be going to an RE.

She prescribed me Provera for ten days to jump start AF
My cycle will begin on the first day of bleeding.
Day 3 through Day 7 of bleeding I will be taking Clomid.
On day 21 of my cycle I will go back to have my progesterone levels tested to make sure everything is doing what it's supposed to and to make sure my levels are high enough to carry to term without complications like a miscarriage.

I of course spent $20 on a 300 day supply of OTC prenatal pills and $15 on eBay for OPKs for daily testing.

I'm terrified this won't work. I want to be optimistic because I know the human brain is just amazing but I'm so terrified of getting my hopes up that this won't work. Fingers crossed.
