waiting...

Sorry for not updating...lots, yet really nothing going on!  This cycle we added 50mg of Clomid on CD 3-5 and both DH and I took Biaxin (an antibiotic) twice a day for 21 days.  This was in addition to the T3 22.5mcg every 12 hours, 500mg sustained release vitamin B6 and FertileCM cd 8-p+2.  I am currently peak +13 (or 13 dpo) and waiting (for probably the 75th cycle since we started TTC!)....

Last cycle I tested out the last hcg injection on p+9 and thought I still saw a faint + on p+12 or 13, but AF showed up on p+14.  I didn't test it out this time and decided to take a test (dollar store test) this morning, p+13.  There was a faint line within a minute or two and within ten minutes it was very obvious, but not near as dark as the control.  I'm not getting my hopes up though!  I took another test when I got home from work and it was similar, just a tad lighter.  For some reason I decided to buy some digital tests when I was at the store this evening...I have a box of CBE regular tests waiting for me in the cupboard under the sink too!  Ahhhhhh!!!
***Updated*** Today, 11/30, is p+14.  I took another dollar store test and had the same results as yesterday, positive.  But, I still don't know if it's from the hcg injections or a real positive!  I was tired all day today and was super hungry.  I started cramping around 5pm.  They are coming in waves and are pretty bad when here.  I'm pretty sure it's AF though....yep...she's here!  Suck!

I'm going to be leading a small group at our church next year starting the end of January.  The topic will be infertility.  I'm trying to find a Christian-based infertility book that we can use, but I'm having a hard time deciding!  I've ordered probably 8 books online, but am just not sure which one to use.  Have any of you read a book that you really got a lot out of that you would recommend?

Sorry AF found you. :(

That's great that you're leading a small group focused on infertility! I've only read one Christian-based book and I didn't like it; I'd be interested to hear if you find any good ones!

Andrea-
It's good, but not the pregnant kind of good! I realized people might think that after I posted it. I'm going to Honduras with the surgeon I work for. He started a surgery center down there and I'm going to help!!
