Not pregnant..started Round 2 of Clomid

Well, I got my period on Sunday June 21st, ended on June 25th. I was surprised that my period came without having to take those 10-day pills that bring on my period. I had my Rx filled but only needed to get the Clomid (since I started my period on my own). I think that's GREAT news that my body is regulating itself!!!!

The bad news is that I'm on round 2 of Clomid. Last night, I got REALLLLYYYY sick on it. I was in bed screaming, moaning, praying to my angels to help me feel better. I was shocked that the minute I asked for help, I felt like someone was lightly touching my belly and "sucking" out all the pain. I fell asleep very shortly after..and after saying "thank you...thank you..." about a 100 times before I passed out for the night. Never underestimate the power of calling on God's angels! :)

Tonight is my last night on Clomid, so hopefully the side effects will go away completely after I'm done.

The hubby & I had sex today (in our pool, I might add).
Note to self: The hubby likes it when I skinny dip. lol ;-)

I'm due to be fertile around July 8th, so we're gonna try to conceive around and/or on:
July 3, 5, 7, 8, 11


Wish us luck!!

Had Period: June 21-25
Took Clomid: June 24-28
Had Sex on: June 28th, July 5th...
Ovulated on: (projected to be around July 8th)

Symptoms:

July 10th:
HORRIBLE lower right back pain. Literally dropped me to my knees, crying. Anthony had to help me back up.

July 11th:
STRONG feeling of passing out mid-afternoon while sitting on the couch.

July 12th:
Vaginal discharge (runny white mucus-like liquid).

July 13th:
Diarrhea/Stomach Ache. Vaginal discharge increased.

Note: Last month I had vaginal discharge 7 DPO, so this would be a normal symptom for me and most likely not pregnancy related.

July 14th:
Diarrhea/Stomach Ache. Felt like my tummy was doing flips. Felt very dizzy/light headed during the day (while on a swinging lounger outside) and also at night (almost fell over at one point), very similar to motion sickness. Also had mild but noticeable cramping.

July 15th:
Cramping. Not bad, but enough for me to notice. My lower abdominal feels "heavy", but this could be because my period is due in about 7 days.

July 18th:
I'm peeing...alot! About every 10-30 minutes. Also, feeling very fatigued & a rapid heart rate. Wanted/needed a nap around 5pm in the worst way.

July 19th:
Still feeling very fatigued/rapid heart rate. Today I feel like I could take a nap and it's only 1:30pm! I've been up since around 9:30am and did laundry, vacuumed, made the bed, and that's about it. I shouldn't be tired (and I even had 1 cup of coffee.)

July 19th:
Took a pregnancy test (3 days before missed period). It was Negative.

July 22nd: (NO PERIOD!!)
Was supposed to get my period, never came!! Also, I had major diarrhea at night.

July 23rd: (1 DAY LATE)
As of 11pm, I *still* have not had my period! Also, I've been very nauseated today. Not on the brink of puking, but enough to not feel well. I also had rapid heart rate again today in mid-afternoon.

July 25th: Brown spotting @ 11am!
Brown spotting, only noticeable when wiping, stopped after a few hours. Felt VERY nauseous all day! Cramping as well. Took preg. test before spotting, negative.

July 26th: (5 Days Late)
White/Clear'ish discharge in the morning. Felt nauseous for part of the day. Finally ate a meal for dinner instead of cereal or pretzels. (The only 2 things I could stomach. lol) Mild cramping continued. Rapid heart rate was really bad all day. Felt like my heart was beating out of my chest from doing the smallest things.

July 27th: (6 Days Late)
Mild cramping still. Not that nauseous earlier in the day, but had a wave of it hit me around 5pm.

July 28th: (7 Days Late)
Woke up feeling like I started me period, but it was vaginal mucus/discharge.

July 29th: (8 Days Late)
Left side of my lower abs was cramping at night.

July 30th: (9 Days Late)
Took a preg. test @ 4pm. Negative. Today I'm tired (and it's only 4pm!), like I could take a nap.

**Stopped daily tracking of symptoms, but the nausea has gone away about a week ago.***

August 4th:
Cramping in my lower abdominal area...like it was stretching out.

August 10th: (19 Days Late)
Had cramping on left side again. This was the most "pressure" cramping I've felt so far. Very similar to being on my period, minus the bleeding.

**Doctors appt. is on Aug. 18th @ 11:15am to find out if I'm preggo or not.
