But honestly...I pretty much agree. :-P

I hate thinking of titles.
Today is CD14 and my cbefm is still showing high, as it has since CD9. But no O, yet. Don't worry, though. I haven't come close to giving up hope. O is usually CD17.
Let me just say I'm not a big fan of Clomid, though. This may be situational, but I've been irritable and depressed since a couple of days after starting the damn drug. Of course my brother broke his leg and had to have surgery (he's doing wonderful, thank you to everyone!), my sister's father-in-law had a heart attack days later and had to have a bypass, my dryer broke, and my brother's wife had to go to the emergency room and got diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and doesn't quite know what to do since they have no insurance. I think I'm a little tired of reality right now. But I bought a book and plan on vegging out this weekend and hiding from reality for a little bit. At least we found out that my brother only has 1 gene for Factor V Leiden mutation. But I'm not sure of that because I got that news straight from my brother...he doesn't listen, was in pain when it was explained to him, and was heavily drugged by the time he explained it to me. ***edited*** I spoke with my Dad and apparently my brother has Factor V Leiden Mutation Heterozygous (one gene).
Speaking of blood disorders...does anyone know anything about Factor II Prothrombin (also called Prothrombin 20210A or PT20210 Mutation or Factor II Mutation)? Or Factor V Leiden? Those are the blood disorders that seem to run rampant in my family. Factor II almost killed my dad a few years back. My cousin lost a twin pregnancy due to Factor V. A combination of one of these caused my Uncle to lose fingers. I know the basics about them, but not how serious they are in pregnancy. I don't know how to get tested for them. I asked my primary care physician to order a test for them a year ago, but he had never heard of the Factor II and didn't quite know how to write the order. And apparently I wasn't actually tested for it since all they did was a clotting test. From all the googling I've done today it seems that it can only truly be determined if you have it by doing a genetic test. What would you guys do?
But at least it's Friday! And almost time to go home! Hooray!
And if you haven't checked this out...now's as good a time as any:
