You see, this is our first Clomid cycle and I had all sorts of weird symptoms. My abdomen swelled up so much that I looked 3 months pregnant, so I took it as a sign that the drugs are working, right? A few days after ovulation, my breasts were so sore that I was sure something was happening. When my temp spiked up to 98.2 and stayed up there, we got excited. Even though I took three pregnancy tests and found 2 negative, I was sure that I saw the faintest of lines on the first one...I know, logically, if that was true, the line should be getting darker, but I'm throwing logic out and going back to hope and prayer. But today, my temp dropped to 97.7 and I'm trying to still be optimistic, remembering that another BLM posted she also had a temp drop before a BFP. So I guess I keep hoping and praying 'till the 'fat lady sings'....so here is to keeping the faith. It's day 28 today, and with my birthday on Monday, I would love to get this special 'gift'... I guess we'll know one way or another.
The other piece of upsetting news is that there is a chance that the state of my health could be a block to adoption and fostering. It seems that I would need to declare that to my disability insurer and they may choose to continue my benefits or not...it also seems that my required physical for the Children's Aid Society could also be problematic. So frustrating!
Seeing as we have a long weekend here in Canada, maybe Freddie will take me out of town for a change of pace, change of scenery and maybe I'll pick up a new perspective!!
Please keep me in your prayers - I could really use them!
When I read this post I could feel your emotion. I finished reading and said a prayer for you. I asked for the hope of your heart and help for your worries. I just want you to know, I will continue to pray. Hugs Crystal
ReplyDeleteThanks Crystal - I really appreciate your prayers. Bless you!!
ReplyDeleteA couple times before a BFP I have had a day or two of a dropped temp, but not more than that. I sure hope you get yours! Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks ccc...that's what I'm hoping. I did a test this morning and there is a faint line, but the test had also been sitting in the sun for an hour, so not sure if its an accurate test - but at least this time Freddie also saw the faint line - and my temp is back up a bit. We'll see. Thanks for the prayers - we both really appreciate that!!!
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my prayers. I really hope that this is your cycle and you have a fabulous birthday tomorrow celebrating it :) I read your comment above about your temp rising...I pray that it stays up there! Thinking of you dear friend.

Hi Mary - thanks for the prayers. I think I remember reading on your blog that your temp dipped a bit before a BFP, so I am hopeful. I had a faint line on Sat morning again, but today [Sunday] it was negative...and I slept in so I have no clue what my temp was. Now, with the clomid, I'm supposed to have a 28 day cycle, but its day 30, so I am hoping that its the cheapie tests that are causing the weird results. I'm still hoping :-)
