Clomid baby please?

I'm currently on my second cycle of Clomid. While the side effects are not major, they are a bit annoying. On my first cycle, 50mg, I had dull and constant headaches for 2 weeks after my last pill. After producing 2 big fat juicy follicles 24 and 33mm, I ovulated exactly 14 days later and it was one of the most painful periods I've ever had... because this period was actually the result of ovulation, not just withdrawl bleeding!

Now on to my second cycle. Immediately dry as a desert. We're talkin Sarhara desert. As if TTC doesn't kill the sex life enough, this has to be added into the mix? I've ordered preseed and hope it's as good as they say it is. The good news: the last 4 days I've been drinking water like a mad woman and the last 2 days I've had plenty of creamy cm. Now I know this isn't the fertile stuff, but I'm just glad my juices are flowin again! Yay me! I will keep drinking water. I will I will I will

Finally after a couple days of raw and equally painful sex, Melvin and I had sex today and it was amazing. Wet and and didn't hurt a bit. Finally for the first time in weeks (long painful period, followed by a dry week) we were able to ENJOY our intimate time in bed. I haven't gotten my preseed so we did use a little bit of some other good lube we had, but I could just feel that my kitty kat wasn't dry as a bone anymore and WHAT A RELIEF!!

So, I'm cd10 and just waiting to ovulate. Last cycle, didn't ovulate until cd26 (this was confirmed by +OPK, a progesterone level 7 a week later, and AF 14 days later) so I realize I may have another couple weeks until ovulation. Normally I could care less about the length of my cycle, but it seems like I have to wait FOREVER in every step of the way. Takes forever to get some CM, then forever to ovulate, then forever and ever and ever in the 2WW. I just hope this time BFP comes, and not AF!!

I also realize 2 cycles of Clomid might be a walk in the park for some couples who may have been medicated and TTC for years, but I am very proud of myself for staying positive and hopeful through this all. Melvin is supportive but not overly involved which is almost nice because then he isn't disappointed in every little twist and turn like I am. Last 2WW he SWORE up and down I was pregnant, but it was the damn Clomid s/e... sore nipples, increased hunger, tired, *****y, etc that were messing with me. I guess at least this time around I know what to expect and won't get my hopes up too entirely much.

I'm extremely thankful to this site as just on the few months I have been on I have learned so very much and believe I will learn much more from the women on here who have actually personally gone through this madness than from the dr's who claim to know what they are talking about. Oh, and in medical school, do they take a course on NOT telling people any information, unless specifically asked, or even demanded? I mean come on! YOU took a million years medical school. YOU have worked with thousands of patients, yet I can't rely on you for any information unless I pry it out of you?

I'm starting my blog for my own personal reflections, but if there is anyone who reads this, please know I hope your TTC dreams come true and that you are able to live happily regardless of PCOS. I won't let PCOS control my life and I cannot wait to have my Clomid Baby!
