Today is CD 1.
I have to say, I'm really excited but also a little disappointed. It's crazy but I swear I've had phantom KU symptoms for a week. I just felt - different. I would have sworn that my ute was stretching. I even (*cringe*) P'd OAS for good measure. I was really hoping it was true but, as luck would have it, the HPT was negative. Honestly, I doubted it for a sec. Well, maybe a bit more than a sec. I figured since I wasn't exactly sure how my cycle had changed after the M/C, I might have just tested too soon.
Well, obviously that's not the case. After a 31-day cycle, AF is back.
The good news is that I can get started on this Clomid protocol. (Exciting!!) So I called and scheduled my day 14 folly scan with Dr. B, (was able to get the exact date & time I requested - awesome!) and I've been instructed to start the Clomid on CD 3. I'll report back later on whether or not I succumb to any S/E's.
So my fellow bloggers. Chime in, please. If you've experienced any crazy S/E's while on Clomid, please feel free to share them in the comments section so I know what to expect, k?

Breaking news ... I've been busy researching hotels for my trip to Rome in August. Can't wait!! I actually spend quite a bit of time in Italy & Sicily because my dad lives there, but I don't typically stay in hotels. Since hubby will be coming along for this year's ride, I thought maybe it would be a good idea to find a place where we can retreat to and decompress. Unfortunately, he doesn't speak the language, though I have tried to teach him a few key words, and I think being able to regroup will be a good thing. My search has led me to the Dei Mellini Hotel, not far from Vatican City. (Check it out on tripadvisor.com.) Not too shabby, right?
In other random news, hubby got me a couple of gifts from V.S. on his weekend in Vegas. (So thoughtful, huh?) However, one of them wasn't really something I'd wear so I returned it and now have a big fat credit to use either at the store or online. LOVE V.S.!!
Hmmm, what else? Oh yeah. If you haven't already noticed from the widgets on my blog, I'm a lover of all things Vamp. I was wondering what I was gonna do once Big Love (not Vamp-related but still very good) ended and HBO was kind enough to deliver the new season of True Blood to me just in time. Thanks, HBO!
So that's it for today pretty much. We're going through 'June Gloom' here in "sunny So-Cal" but I'm hoping the sun will peek through and inspire me to write something simply fantastic. Not likely, but I'm supposed to be trying to have a more positive outlook so we'll just say the forecast calls for a 20% chance of sun but a 90% chance of sugar rain.
Have a great day!

I can't give you any advice about Clomid, but I'm sure someone has some for you. I do know that a few ladies tend to get a bit pissy, but I don't know that for sure.
YAY for a VS credit! I love that place! I usually get a gift care for my birthday and go wild during their half yearly sale *dreamy sigh*
Enjoy your vacation, sounds like a BLAST!
*HUGS*
It's so nice to have you back on a regular basis. I'll be sending good thoughts your way this cycle.
Wow. Italy!?!? That hotel looks absolutely glamorous. It'd be great if you could use up that V.S. credit for your trip. ;-)
I'm also a Big Love fan. I haven't finished watching this past season though. I have a few episodes left to catch. But, I think it was the best season so far. I'll have to look into Tru Blood. I'm not familiar. A dear friend of mine sent me the Twilight DVD when we thought I'd be on bedrest for while. I watched it last night. Love it!
Have a great week!
YAY for CD1!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you & your hubby.
I've never taken Clomid, but you know the S/E's that I had w/Femara. =)
O.K. so clomid wasn't that bad for me. I had some hot flashes but that was really it. Don't think about side effects. Think about the nice strong ovulation your are going to have.
Your trip to Italy sounds amazing. I'm so jealous.
