Clomid round 2

not much to report on the home front, Michael and I are still really sick, basically just dealing with it.
I started school last night and i love my new professor, he is very laid back, teaches alot, but is funny so it keeps the #hour class entertaining. Another great thing is the book he uses i have already so i don't have to spend $70 bad thing...i can't find it. I know i have it because i remember putting it in the bookcase shortly before we moved, but now its MIA so i'm hoping its downstairs or if not the in storage. Otherwise i'm going to be out$70 which would really suck!
I also started clomid last night 100mg CD3-7, in theory days 3-7 of Clomid lead to more follicles and fewer side effects on the lining and the mucus. Days 5-9 lead to better development of just a few follicles. It seems to make a difference for some women and does not make any difference in others. Little conclusive research on the issue exists.
Basically Your brain, will start decreasing the amount of FSH it produces just after day 3 (from AF start) to squeeze out the "strongest" follicle out. Remember, Clomid makes your brain produce more FSH, so the logic goes as follows... If you give the clomid on day 5, the follicles have already gone through some sort of "brain FSH starvation" so that one follicle has already been weeded out of the bunch. But if you give it on day 3, you not only minimize the FSH starvation that the brain is producing, but you may also be able to pluck out two follicles... TWINS!!!!

I think the more we talk about it the more i think we want that. I honestly at this point don't care if we get 8 or 1 as long as it makes it to 40 weeks and comes out kicking and screaming, even if I'm in labour for 48 hours or more, if i have the worst m/s ever and tack on whatever else you want. I just want us to have a baby and for it to be healthy and safe. is that serious;y too much to ask?

Not too much to ask at all and you'll have that kicking and screaming baby or 8 babies soon!
