Now we wait

Well we did it, went in for my scan on Saturday and I had 5 really good follicles on my ovaries: 26, 23, 21,17, 16 and a few under 10.  They like them to be 18 for triggering, well the most dominant one.  So I had a really really good response to the Clomid.  Which is good to know for the future.  So we went and picked up the trigger shot (makes you ovulate) and Rob gave it to me Saturday night right before bed.  We had IUI (Intra-uterine insemination) yesterday morning.  To say these were the worst Ovulation cramps I have ever felt is an understatement.  All day sunday and yesterday, even hurt my tummy to laugh.  But it will be worth it if we get a sticky bean.  It's going to be a very long 2 weeks (how long to wait until pregnancy test).  The trigger shot is HCG which also shows positive on a pregnancy test so a lot of women start testing early so they can test it out so when they get a BFP (Big Fat Positive) they know it's for real.  Rob keeps joking that with our luck (we both know Murphy's law really well) that we will end up with Quintuplets or something like that.  While that would be nice, I'd be happy with just 1 or 2 babies.  We don't want a huge family.
Todays symptoms:  Gassy, Extremely hungry, ovulation cramps mild, slight spotting

So this experience has made me realize, I need to change a few things if I want to have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy environment to raise a baby.  I have had enough excuses on the weekends as to why I don't stay on plan with my eating.  I have gained/lost the same 10# for over 3 months now.  Enough is enough.  I need to get back on the swing of things. No I won't continue to lose weight if I get pregnant, but I don't want to gain a bunch of weight either.  So if I start staying better on plan now it will be better for the pregnancy.

Saturday 9: Good Morning, Heartache

Trying another new thing called Saturday 9, it can be found here:  http://samanthasaturday9.blogspot.com 1) Do you come up with your brightest ideas early in the morning or late at night?   I would say that I am most creative later in the evenings 2) Are you more likely to feel romantic at night or in the morning?  Depends on the day :-), but usually at night 3) Do you shower in the morning, after work or before bed?   I shower in the mornings, it helps wake me up 4) Billie Holiday was just 44 when she died. Is there an artist whose early demise surprised and saddened you?   Not an artist but Heath Ledger's death really shocked me and took me by surprise.  He is one of my all time favorite actors. 5) Billie was known as "Lady Day." Do you have a cool nickname? (If not, feel free to give yourself one right now.)   No cool nicknames, as a kid I was "Woodie or Fruitcake".....don't ask LOL 6) When was the last time you had the blues?   ...

What is your greatest strength as a person?   I am a very compassionate and have a big heart 86. What is your greatest weakness?   Interrupting people when they are talking 87.

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

  Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues. And don’t even get me started on the perimenopause rollercoaster. Whether you’re in your 20s or late 40s (like me!), hormones influence everything —your energy, mood, digestion, skin, cycle, and emotional balance. But here’s something most women don’t hear enough: CBD can help. Not as a magic pill or miracle cure—but as a powerful tool that supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps bring balance when everything feels off. 💛 What Happens When Hormones Are Out of Whack? When estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones get thrown off, you may feel: Anxious or irritable Wired but tired Struggling with sleep or concentration Sluggish digestion or metabolism Cravings, mood dips, and PMS from another planet Sound familiar? Now enter: your Endocannabino...
