I’m about to run up to the pharmacy to pick up my prescriptions for Provera and Clomid. Today is cycle day 36 and the period fairy did not pay me a visit. I just want to start my next cycle sooner than later so that I can start my next round of Clomid. Is that too much to ask? My boobs are sore, I’m extremely cranky and my husband is sick to boot. I hate when he’s not feeling well, it’s no fun when he’s not his usual silly self.

The one concern I had about starting the Provera was that if I am destined to get my period on my own, will taking the Provera only delay it? In other words, normally when I take the Provera, I take it for 5 days and then anywhere between 5 and 12 days after I take my last pill I will withdraw. So I didn’t know if I would actually be pushing my period off. To my relief, I do not have to worry about it. The doctor told me that it could only make me get it that much sooner due to the added progesterone in my system.

While I’m out, I think I’ll stop to pick myself up some hot chocolate too! Some rich, creamy, delicious hot chocolate. Why? Because, damn- it, I deserve it!! And because with the wind chill it’s only about 10 degrees outside….Bbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
