Christmas and What's Next

I made it through Christmas without too many lost tears!  Yay for me.  I even managed to buy my sister-in-law some baby clothes for the new baby to come in April without getting too sad.  It was actually nice spending time with the kids in the family over the holiday.  They made me laugh a lot and also made me feel pretty loved.  It's always a big bonus when I get lots of hugs and kisses from the kids.

I finished the Clomid and the hot flashes have started, but they are either not as bad as in the previous months or I am just getting used to them.  Not that I'm not getting them, I guess I just know what to expect in terms of length and intensity. 

So now we wait for the ovulation tests to say it's a go.  Unfortunately, my RE's office is closed Friday and Saturday of this week (New Year's Eve and New Year's Day) and since I'm pretty sure I'll ovulate on Friday or Saturday, this cycle may be like the last - Old Fashioned Style.  Another thing out of my control.

I'm hoping for a positive test by Wednesday or on Sunday...but this would mean it's coming pretty early (day 14 when I'm a 16/17 girl at the earliest) or late - day 18.  My ovulation date seems to get a day earlier each cycle with the Clomid, so there's a chance, but I'm not really counting on it.

New Year's Eve will either be a celebration of hope, or a night of drinking my sorrows away for another lost opportunity. 

I sure have high hopes for 2011.
