Why a Blog?

Hello everyone, I am Tifany Mulumba, and I am trying to have a baby. This is a blog which will show my journey through the process of trying to have a baby while having infertility conflicts. I have the aid of a great doctor, and we'll see how these aids help in the process.

I will be posting information I find out, along with daily blogs on my mood, my temperature/ovulation chart, prices of meds, etc.

So, I'm providing this blog so that those who are having the same issues know that they're not the only one's struggling with infertility. This gives me an outlet to vent, and others an outlet to gain information. I hope you all enjoy this, and I hope it helps give me some comfort.

Month 1

I started this process three months ago almost, so I'm starting with what happened the first month.  I was put on Medroxyprogesterone to help force my body into having a period.  From there, the Clomid (which is the fertility drug) helps keep that up, as well as helps my body with ovulation.  So, here is a picture of my temperature and ovulation for the first month.  You'll also see that on the bottom there are some symbols, and these are just telling when an ovulation kit said I was and wasn't ovulating.



So, month 1:  My temperature is low because my metabolism sucks.  You can see that on day 17 I ovulated, the temperature shows this, and a urine-based ovulation kit showed this. I had taken the Medroxyprogesterone, and 100mg of Clomid (2 pills a day from day 5-9). 

Cost:  $35.00 doctor visit
          $10.00 co-pay for Medroxyprogesterone
          $50.00 Clomid (not covered by insurance)
          $95.00
