All ya need is love...

I have been back from my cruise for a few weeks now. I had the best time! Two of my dearest friends went with me, and I love them. Many mornings the first word out of one of their mouths was to ask me what my waking temperature was. SO cute.  "What's your temperature home fry?" Was my favorite of the week. However, no period to speak of while on the love boat. I did come back with a baby name inspiration that my husband would never agree too: Baby boy Topher Hollowell. I know nobody else will ever love it but me.

This was the only picture of me in beach wear suitable for posting.

  When I got my feet back on land, I went back to the OBGYN aforementioned in this blog. He totally restored my faith in him. I have been given Provera once again. Took my last pill yesterday, so now I wait for a Provera-induced period. THEN on day three of my cycle I will start taking another medication, Clomid.
Education Oppurtunity:  Clomiphene is used to induce ovulation in women who do not produce ova (eggs) but wish to become pregnant (infertility). Clomiphene is in a class of medications called ovulatory stimulants. It works similarly to estrogen, a female hormone that causes eggs to develop in the ovaries and be released.
My doctor gave me the Clomid, with 5 months worth of refills, and told me he would be very surprised if I didn't get pregnant. He went over all the statistics with me, and helped me figure out how to time the start of all my fertility drugs so that the roughneck who is nearest and dearest to my heart will be home for the magical part of my cycle. I felt so hopeful when I left his office. A 180 degree emotion from the last time I was there. So stay tuned, hopefully Laverne and Shirley respond. Gotta dream and we just know now...

On a testimonial note, Jesus shows me everyday how loved I am. It's been the theme of my life. Not always loved traditionally/conventionally, but so loved in the perfect ways.  When I got back from my cruise, I had a gift from my secret sister waiting for me.

Could this be ANY cuter?

Not to mention, I had a handful of the best co-workers on the planet who gathered to watch me get my gift, because they love me too. I'm such a blessed girl.

And now....I have a teaser for a future blog. I have a pregnant friend! Not a facebook friend, an in-law, or friend of a friend. A REAL friend. I love her and can't wait to blog about her as soon as her news is public knowledge. Beautiful babies on the way! Let's hope I get to join that party too.

Peace, Love, & Love, Love, Love.
