Perscribed medicine
CLOMID

Clomiphene citrate commonly known as 'clomid' has been proven to be extremely effective in inducing ovulation in oligo-amenorrheic (infrequent or absent menses) women . Clomiphene citrate is the most commonly used fertility medication prescribed for anovulatory women.
Clomiphene is very effective in inducing ovulation in most women, however, pregnancy rates only approach 65 percent with the use of this medication. Thus, the lack of ovulation is not always the only cause of infertility. Over 75 percent of patients who get pregnant with clomiphene do so within the first four to six months. Thus, if a pregnancy is not achieved within the first four to six months of use, additional evaluations and therapies are usually required.
Clomid is a low-level fertility drug. The chances of a multiple birth (twins) increase only by 10% while taking Clomid.

Monday June 10: Told Dad and Mom

Thursday June 19: My first consultation this morning with the doctor but what ya know I don't see the doctor.. I had more blood work and another test but the doctor won't get final results until tomorrow or it may even be Monday before she knows anything. The gnawing sense that something is not right is not far from our minds.
What I have read is:
hCG levels may be tested to check the rate of rise, they normally double about every two days in a normal pregnancy
What they are telling us is that mine are not rising.

Thursday July 3: Dad and Mom came by the bank and took me to my doctor appointment. I had to make a decision today.. To terminated the pregnancy due to there being no fluid in the the sack. They say it is just the beginnings of an embryo that never developed a heartbeat. We were looking so forward to sharing our lives with this little one. It would have been so wonderful too.

Saturday July 5: Dad called me about 5am from Jackson Mississippi to wake me to go have the D&C performed today. Tracy and Kevin took me. The procedure went well they said..

By Sharon Reeve
No one understands
People avoid it
Don't know what to say,
try as they may
it's always the same,
The hurt is still there
it doesn't get better,
They say you've got time
to try for another,
People don't get it
they don't understand
I've just lost a life
that can't be replaced,
the harder I try
the harder it gets,
I just can't move on
i don't want to forget,
My baby was real
If only to me,
Why does no one else
understand how I feel.
