Davis Baby Tracks

Since Patrick and I started dating we always wanted a large family, which would be after getting married and buying our first house. At the minimum, one boy & one girl. And as many little kids inbetween to get there. So since its '07 & we bought in March, it's past our two year anniversary, we've been working on making a little Davis.
Patrick & I popped by our doctor this month about increasing the Davis household & began our testing. So far, the only problem is that I'm working way too much and have high stress and short cycles. Patrick's tests came back awesome. My progesterone (SP test) was a little low for what our doctor wanted, so he's perscribed low-level 50mg of Clomid starting early July.
So now we'll start this journey that we're soo excited about. July 3rd is my next appointment with the doctor (seems like it's taking forever to get there). He'll do a routine check & I'll start Clomid on July 6th-10th. I believe on July 9th I'll have an HSG test completed at the hospital, which will make sure my tubes are clear. Then back the next day for a follie check to check their sizes to see what sizes they've reached & how many there are.
I'm soo hopeful. HSG tests are known to increase fertility within the first 3 months as well by simply flushing out stuff. Hopefully it'll make my tubes little slip-n-slides for the 90 million spermies to find that one egg!
I'm sure I'll be moody and experience hot flashes and the other Clomid symptoms. I'm always the one that gets the symptoms if I take something.
Very soon my second night job will take a significant back-seat, especially with renovating our little house. Although waitressing is fun in it's own way from office work, my day job will do us just fine along with Patrick's job.
Okay, next post will be after July 3rd's appointment.
