My Choice!

Many people will not understand my view on being a single mother by choice and that is fine but I do ask you not to leave negative comments on my choice. I am in my mid 20's which I think is a wonderful age to start a family. I have had many boyfriends and a very few that I thought may be the right one for me but for one reason or another nothing has worked out. My father a good man when my mom married him and even when I was born but I was 3 when my mom went back to school and my dad started drinking. It just got worse and worse and I saw him break my moms heart so many times with the choices he was making. I don't ever want to live like that and I never want to bring a child into a life like that. I have a great job that allows me to be financially able to have my own house and even to and a couple children. I am very thankful for that. I have wanted children ever since I was a little girl, so that is no surprise for me. I didn't wake up one morning and feel like I need to have a baby, it has just been with me my whole life that I want a baby. The sperm bank that I have chosen is wonderful, they have a great staff and a good selection of donors, although it is terribly hard to come by a hispanic donor (there are only 2 available at this bank currently).
I did get pregnant in March 2010 only for me to loose that baby when I was 10 weeks pregnant. I am heartbroken about that but I trust that God does have a baby for me, it just wasn't the right time. My doctor does not want me to try again until June or July. Through this blog I will be tracking my cycles and just taking note of this journey.

It's been a while and BIG update

Okay so the cycle I was on in June lasted around 5o days (normally they are 32 days). I ended up having to take progesterone for 8 days to induce my period and it worked. So I started my cycle on June 17th. I did clomid on CD 3 - 7 (100mg dr prescribed). I had my follicle ultrasound on CD 12 (which I questioned because I don't ovulate until CD 22) and my doctor told my my follicles were to small to inseminate this cycle. I was so bummed out about it and still thought there was hope but my doctor assured me that I was not going to ovulate this cycle. Well he was WRONG!!! I didn't order the sperm so I did not TTC this cycle but I DID ovulate! On CD25 I got my smiley and within 30 minutes of the smiley I was spotting and having hard O pains. Soon after that my cervix closed.

So new plan.
My next cycle should start July 25th.
I will be doing geritol (every other day the pills and the other day the tonic ICKY).
Baby Asprin 81mg for my lining.
100mg clomid 3-7.
Robitussin starting on CD 18 - 22 (or ovulation) - for my EWCM.
Progesterone after ovulation.
Then Hopefully a BFP that sticks!!!!

I have my donor picked out and I am so ready to be pregnant and have a happy and healthy 9 months and then a newborn baby in my arms in May 2011.
