Update

My favorite shot of the day, originally uploaded by Kodamakitty.

July is a bit of a break from the fertility regimen. The pregnancy test came back negative, so no ectopic pregnancy to worry about, but the "leftovers" in my uterine lining and follicles mean that the clomid would most likely not be effective this month. I am to come in for another 3rd day ultrasound when my next cycle begins.

I could have used this month to chart my basal temperature, or continue to pee on sticks to figure out when I was ovulating, but to tell the truth, it is actually a relief to not do anything at all. I am continuing to take metformin and try to exercise at least every other day, but to not have to mark time by the days in my cycle is a bit of a luxury. The summer is already going by so fast!

Classes are over for now and I am trying to get the house a bit more organized and de-cluttered for the fall. I am sure that as I find ways to manage my time and stress better that will only help on the baby-making front. I continue to take pictures, such as the one above, that help bring a smile to my face hopefully to others too. This picture did come at a bit of a cost, as it was taken at the private home of a colleague who then had to request that I take some of the pics down. A bit embarrassing for me, but a good lesson that not everyone wants to have their pictures taken or shared, no matter how lovely or becoming I think my humble pics might be. I am always learning!
