New Plan... again...

I'm on Day 14 right now... so we wait (and keep trying) until I get to about day 35 or 40.  If I spontaneously start my period I will start the below plan. If I don't I will go in for the sonogram and possibly use Prometrium to start my period.

Day 1, 2, or 3: Sonogram
Day 3-7: Clomid (or possibly Femara)
Day 8- ovulation: Estrogen patch
Change estrogen patch every 3 days
Day 10: start using Ovulation Predictor Kits
Day 11: Abstain
Day 12: Sonogram
Day 12-20: try, try, try!
Day 21: Progesterone test
Day 28 to 35 Pregnancy Test

If this doesn't work this round, then we will try IUI.
Which is generally the same with some added sonograms and also a shot involved.

From there... we get one more shot at an IUI cycle and then it's on to the Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) for a HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotropin) cycle which basically involves a lot of the above aspects in greater dosages and injected into my butt repeatedly over the cycle. Sounds like fun right?

I sure hope something works soon.  The waiting is going to kill me!
