Shell - re the Q about clomid. It is on a restricted access prescritpion so it needs to be prescribed by an authorised doctor (usually an OB / GYN). Just get a referral from your GP if you know where you want to go (ie if you have a doctor you are happy with). If you are not sure of where to go next you can email me and I may be able to help with options depending on where in Sydney you are.

I was put on clomid for *super ovulation* rather than stimulation of ovulation. I ovulate but the theory was there is no reason why we can't conceive so lets increase the number of potential chances per cycle (and if the hormone levels aren't sufficient to create a *good egg* then the clomid will increase those hormones too). LLet me know if you want to know more.

A little fragile this week (reason for no personals) heading up to ovulation mid next week and some serious hormonal shifts. I have been off and catching up with people (both friends who were due around the same time of Caitlyn's EDD, my friend - a midwife, who was there when we found no HB is leaving so I had coffee with her) as well as the realisation that this is the third clomid cycle and we are on the rapid downhill slide to IVF. All together, just a challenging week with a very dark tunnel in front of me (either there is no light or my eyes are closed!!)

Have a lovely weekend girls - I'll be back in a better frame of mind next week (while I ravish DH who will be on nights yet again - there is a curse on our conception!!!!!!!)
