I didn't know there were so many training sessions involved in getting a dog to work with a new owner, but of course that's totally logical when I think about it. She looks like a beautiful dog, and I hope she and your husband make a wonderful team. :-)B.E.C.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17692965288646024168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20183170.post-1140631703375461932006-02-22T12:08:00.000-06:002006-02-22T12:08:00.000-06:00What a cute dog!

What a wonderful blessing she will be to you both!<BR/>I've heard varying things about clomid...PMS on 'steroids' (forgive the pun)smf possiblity for multiples.<BR/>As for "all" else...hand fast for He has overcome"!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20183170.post-1140620027505898582006-02-22T08:53:00.000-06:002006-02-22T08:53:00.000-06:00beautiful dog that bob is getting, i'm happy for y...beautiful dog that bob is getting, i'm happy for you. now, about the doctor and so on...i had the dye test in july '05 (after many years of not having peace about any testing) praise the Lord my tubes were clear. but, through blood tests the dr. found that i was not ovulating. she started me on clomid in August. Started at lowest dose of 50mg for 7 days, that didn't work, next month up to 100mg for 7 days, didn't work, my progesterone levels only rose from 3.8 to 4.4, over 10 shows you ovulated...so up we went to 150mg for 7 days....IT WORKED...my levels in October were 12.2!! So now we've been on that dose since then, I'm sitting here as I type this hoping that my period doesn't show up on Friday or Saturday...the side affects differ from person to person, but I have had to deal with hot flashes, shadowy vision and appetite increase, the first month at this dose the side affects seemed pretty intense, but after that month they have not been so bad, I think my body is adjusting. Anyways, just thought I'd tell you what's going on with me and let you know it's not so bad, and worth it in the end. My hubby did get tested during this process also and passed with flying colors. The hardest part is having to coordinate our lives around "perfect timing", I"m so ready to have spontaneity back in my life. I have 3 refills left on my prescription and if I'm not pregnant by then, I go back and we discuss our next move. I hope it doesn't go that far. God bless you and Bob and I hope that my experience can be helpful in your decision making. <BR/><BR/>p.s. My doctor uses and in-home test for the male factor. They have a website where you can order, but I think you have to have a referral from your doctor. It's called Andrology Institute. If you can't find it, email me and I'll see if I can find the link for you. rgarrard@co.hinds.ms.usAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20183170.post-1140615609276305962006-02-22T07:40:00.000-06:002006-02-22T07:40:00.000-06:00I'm so glad to hear Bob's getting the dog!
