Who would have thought this is where I would be this month. But let’s start at the beginning.

I was on Clomid last summer. I wasn’t able to do my third cycle because I was going to be out of town for work during ovulation. We decided to start trying again. So I started a script of Metformin laying around, prenatals, Concieve Easy, and three other herbs to help things along over a month ago. I started clomid this cycle. It’s all golden, right? It has to be because if this doesn’t work, it’s time to move past my normal OBGYN and to the fertility specialist. A few days into my clomid I start to have problems. So I tried shoving yogurt up there and nothing. My pH was screwed and I was so sore that I knew sex was off the table. In a panic I went to planned parenthood because I’m days away at this point of ovulation!!!! This is my worst nightmare right now. Well I found out I’m having a herpes outbreak. Something I was diagnosed with years ago but never really had problems with in years. So I spent 190 at planned parenthood because i forgot what this even feels like. Uhhhg.

So now here we are. Yesterday I got a faint line on my ovulation test. Sex is off the table but I can’t miss this ovulation!!!! So we are trying to conceive with a syringe 🤣😂 So I get no fun and no intimacy. I get to lay with my butt propped up on pillows and a syringe of my bf’s sperm. FOR AN HOUR! I tried using a menstrual cup as well but I honestly don’t know how women can use those. 🤷‍♀️ But i do get snuggles from the pups while I’m laying there 🤣. Other than that I’m so bored!!!

What we will put our selves through trying to conceive. Boy I hope I don’t end up with triplets. Because with my luck it’s gonna either not happen this cycle or I’m gonna get three!
