I love oatmeal. Lately I love it with a small banana and a tbs. of peanut butter. I'm trying to eat it often as I can before it gets too hot outside. For some reason I don't like to eat it in the summer.


So, last night instead of going to the gym after I taught I ran the 4 mile loop. Traffic was horrible, and I didn't want to fight my way up MOPAC at 5:30. So I ran and then hung out with the Blue Jacket runners in the parking lot for a while. I ran an easy four miles. I figured it was better than hanging out at Whole Foods where they have the most amazing ginger snaps the size of my head.

Warning- Get'n knocked up info below.

I've been toying with the idea of starting a completely separate blog for the other thing that has been consuming my life lately, INFERTILITY. It's a horrible word, and yes as much as I hate to be a whiner it's an "unfair" word. I don't think I'll be that great at keeping up two separate blogs. Plus I have ZERO information on infertility and athletes. When I mean information I mean reading material with statistics. I've had plenty of discussions with other women who have had the same issues we are having, but I want a study to read :) So maybe if I write about my experiences pertaining to both training and getting knocked-up, some scientist will do a study. It's a long shot I know, but maybe just maybe. That and I think all the hush hush attitude towards infertility is crap. Apparently it's a big problem (at least in the circles I roll with).

So be prepared for some posts that might contain references to gynecologists, infertility doctors, sperm counts, fallopian tubes, and every one's favorite word -- vagina--. I'll try to warn people or even make the most personal ones private.

I love starting new journey's in life. I just wish my life journeys didn't contain so many delays.



Notes on Clomid Cycle # 1. I am on day 2 of Clomid, day 7 of my cycle.
Here's the deal. We've been trying for a little over a year. I was really good about not being obsessed about it. I trained for and ran The Chicago Marathon. While I waited for my body to get used to not taking BC. My body doesn't seem to want to work. I think I ovulated in August. I was tracking my basal body temps and mucus consistency. I haven't ovulated since. I have take Prometrium 4 times. This month I' m taking 50mg of clomid on 5-7 of my cycle. A cycle that only started because I took 5 days of 100 mg of Prometrium.

As for side effects on the Clomid I'm not having any yet. Prometrium caused breast tenderness, depression, and moodiness. I don't like it.
