TTC update

So after a year+ of trying to get pregnant I contacted my doctor and she started her testing. I had blood work done and Neil did a semen analysis. His results were good and all of mine were within the normal ranges with some being borderline abnormal. So......I am going to be starting Clomid on day 5 of my next cycle. Already have the pills and waiting for AF to show. Dr Y also wants us to do a post coital test this coming cycle and a Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) for next the cycle after next. The HSG checks to make sure my fallopian tubes are not blocked. Right now I am taking a semi break from charting as with the move and trying to adjust to a new house my sleep pattern has been a little off. Will start again next cycle. Hoping the clomid work for us. I do have a little bit of comfort seeing as that drug is what got me here almost 30 years ago. After many years of trying for my parents my mom took and here I came! We are doing the clomid for 3 cycles then will proceed from there. We don't have the finances to do IVF and really don't want to put myself through all of that. As much as I want to carry my own child I think I would be leaning towards adoption at that point. I know other do IVF and I am very supportive of their decisions, but I don't think its for us. IUI may be an option but don't know where it stands money wise. Once I start the clomid I will update with side effects as it can be a little hairy for some. I do plan to take it at night as recommended by my fellow GP nesties.
