Dr. Bone called me this morning to let me know she had analyzed the results of my blood work; apparently, my progesterone levels were sooooo low despite the Clomid that it appeared as if I hadn't taken the drug at all! So, no ovulation yet, naturally or drug-induced.
So, Dr. Bone suggested that I wait until Friday the thirteenth to see if I begin menstruating on my own, then I can begin a second cycle of Clomid at a higher dosage (100mg instead of 50mg). If I do NOT begin menstruating on my own by then, I will begin taking a particular drug (the name escapes me at the moment) to stimulate menstruation; she's already called the prescription in, so all I'll need to do is pick it up from the pharmacy.
Because my ovaries may release follicles more readily if I lose some weight, I'm going to make the effort. I've been unhappy with my weight gain since Hurricane Katrina, anyway, so I suppose it is the right time. I weigh about 150 pounds right now and my goal is 125 pounds, so I started a food log today and I've got to get some sort of regular exercise routine going. When I was working in shipping, swimming daily, and playing Laser Tag every day my weight was not an issue - in fact, I was too thin at less than 110 pounds - but otherwise I've always been a somewhat chubby person and weight loss has always been difficult for me.
