or: Well, at least I've stopped bleeding...
So this cycle was cancelled. The good news is that I don't have cancer. Yay. I didn't really think I had cancer. And it's not like I was examined or anything. But my doctor says that I don't have any of the other symptoms of cancer, so she's going to go with the far more likely scenario that the clomid just didn't work. She wanted my cycle reset, so I'm on Provera for 10 days, then I'll hopefully start my period right after that (oh yay! I get to bleed again! after only 10 days! I contain my excitement! just kill me now, why don't you!) and on day 5 start up on a higher dose of Clomid. And boy aren't we just looking forward to that!
The frustrating thing is that we've been actively TTC now for 3 months and not one of them have I even had a viable chance to get pregnant. We're working this hard just to get me ready. And then once I'm ovulating and cycling correctly THEN we have to go through the monthly roulette.
But yes, I am grateful that I was told the bad news BEFORE I inseminated. Because I have such a hard time having that stuff inside me. And because once there's sperm in there, I don't care HOW IMPOSSIBLE IT IS, you can't help but HOPE that a miracle will occur. So at least I was spared that.
All I can say is thank god our donor is flexible.

Ugh...that stinks...the whole thing. I had an epidsode when I was in grad school (and was adament about not getting pregnant) that I bled the whole 90 days I was on the depo shot. So I feel your pain.
Glad that the cycle was cancelled early enough that you didn't have to inseminate. Will be hoping for better results the next time around!
Mandy said it best: UGH!
