Well…here we are on our first leg of this journey and of course we already have a set back…a bump on the road…a snafu!! Yup, things for us cannot even start smoothly. What was this snafu…what was the reason this situation has been handed a set back? Well its because my body wont ever do anything I want it to and I didn’t have a period this month. Yes I may be the only female trying to get pregnant who stressed about not getting a period. I feel like a high school cheerleader a few weeks after the homecoming party…wishing my period would decide to come!
It’s difficult to go through this situation! The one thing I want more than anything in the world…to have a baby and my body doesn’t want to cooperate. So after stressing about not getting my period I had to call the doctor and find out what we do now. Its not fun calling a doctor because your body doesn’t work properly. Especially when everyone tells you not to worry, you’ll be fine, its all in your head, you’re too young to have the problems you stress about. Well lookie here…I HAVE THE PROBLEMS I FEARED!!!
So here we are, 5 days late on my period and starting a prometrium protocol. This is a hormone therapy that (is supposed to) help to start a period. I have to take this every night at bed time (at the exact same time each night) for 10 days. If I start my period during the medication I immediately stop taking and call my doctor. However, it could take up to 14 days after the last pill to get a period…if I get one.
When I get my period I have to go to the doctor for an ultrasound to see if I am producing eggs. On Day 3 of my cycle I start the clomid regiment. This is all contingent on the fact that I do actually start my period.
