update to 'grasping at straws'
buckeyebaby814

I called my doctor's today (as I woke up with major, full-on period) because there was no question I started today. They said since I only had a dime sized amount on my panty liner and for a couple hours (yesterday) when I wiped to count today as CD 1. This makes my LP at 9 days 
So to make this less of a pity party debbie downer rant/ vent... here are my pros...
1. I did not start spotting until 8DPO (previous cycles w/out progesterone I typically began around CD 3-4)
2. I O'd on CD 12- which made me stress less waiting for my usual CD 16-20 O
3. I have a 9 day LP (better than the 6 day LP a few months ago.)
Basically at this point, I want to celebrate the small victories, the three pros above are my small victories for this cycle. Thank you for reading and thank you all for your support!

ETAA: #4... I am enjoying a glass of my favorite wine

Re: update to 'grasping at straws'
My heart is as open as the sky.
Read about it on the blog
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

Hold on to those small victories!! If we don't celebrate them we will always feel defeated. For example, I didn't get pregnant this month but I DID respond well to the Clomid...small victory compared to a BFP...BUT it's a step in the right direction.
Hoping the only spotting you see next cycle is implantation spotting!!

I'm glad to hear you had a small victory this cycle too
I had convinced myself IB was my spotting on CD 8, but deep down- I knew it wasn't! While I will take a baby whenever I can get pregnant here's another pro... having the possibility of a Leap Day baby!!!
