Another month, Another negative. I'm getting pretty used to it.
AF showed on Wednesday, 4 days before I was expecting it. I sat down and cried for almost an hour. I really thought we might have gotten pregnant this month. I even threw up twice.
While I am sad that we wont be able to tell our families the we are pregnant for Christmas, I am REALLY UBER excited for the coming weeks. On December 9th, we fly out of Italy to head to the states for the holidays. We will be there for 3 weeks. Maybe the magic of Christmas will help us this month.
So for now, I've started charting my temps, and paying attention to different signs. When we get to the states, I am buying some OPKs to help with trying to figure out when I am ovulating. When we get back I will start all the other testing and back on the meds.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

No October BFP either...
AF showed on Monday 2 days late...
I'm ok if I'm not going to be pregnant, I just wish I weren't late so I have a glimmer of hope that maybe this is finally our month..
I'm so sick of watching people having babies and doing drugs or getting a divorce. Josh and I are as happy as we've ever been and have more love then we know what to do with. We just want to be able to share our lives and love with a little one of our own.
On the upside, the Doctor agreed that we should do some other testing before we move on to make sure that my follicle growth and ovulation is the only issue. When we go back in December/January (Depending on our holiday schedule) She will be ordering an HSG test. Basically it will be a real time xray to see if my tubes are blocked. Here's hoping that all is well..

No September BFP..
AF showed on the 19th. I was a little disappointed but that's to be expected.
Josh and I have decided to just have some fun being us for a while and maybe, If we are lucky, We will end up pregnant.
I got a job at the exchange and I start tomorrow and I also decided to start selling Pure Romance. So that should keep me pretty busy.
I did however decide to go to the Dr and demand she check some other things out while we are taking a break from the Clomid. I want to be sure there is nothing else wrong before I waste all of our Clomid cycles for the year.
That's it for now

Not sure what to title this.
And I'm not sure if anyone is even reading these...
But last months ultrasound didn't go so well. No growth at all that she could tell. She suggested a 4 month break with no meds but the metformin. She wants me to drop more weight (I'm down 15 lbs in 3 months!) Whatver, Josh and I still Baby Danced this month and now I am 3 days late with no sign of AF showing.. And I'm to scared to test..

Ultrasound tomorrow...
Tomorrow I go in to have my midcylce ultrasound to check the follice growth. We are hoping that the uped dosage of Clomid will bring on bigger stronger follicles. Wish me luck :)

Not this month..
Oh well. Af showed Monday Morning. At first I thought it was just spotting but by the end of the night was AF at full force.
Friday I start 150 mg of Clomid, (Round 3) and next friday I go in for the ultrasound. We are hoping to see an improvement in follicle growth so I can trigger that day.
I am finally able to take 1000mg of the Metformin without wanting to puke my guts out so that's good.
I was a little down about not getting pregnant this month but, I know in good time that we will be blessed with a beautiful little angel to love.
Here's to a new cycle and hopefully a May Baby (Our family doesn't have any May birthdays)

Got my hCG shot Tuesday
And if it did what it should have, then today was ovulation. We baby danced on Mon & Today and will try for twice more this week. I just want to be sure. Then begins the longest 2 weeks of my life. Knowing that we actually have a good chance this month. I don't know how I am going to keep myself from going crazy or over analyzing every little thing that could be mistaken for a symptom.
Fingers crossed and God willing, I am hoping for a August 19th Positive

Clomid Round 2 Update
Today was my ultrasound. I responded to the uped dosage of clomid! There was only one good follicle thought so if we don't get pregnant this time, they will up the dosage for next time. It was still 4mm smaller then what they'd like but the Dr said if it grows at the normal rate, then it would be ready on Tuesday. So Tuesday I will go in and get the trigger shot and cross our fingers that Josh's boys don't get lost on the way :)

In 7 short hours...
I will be in the Dr's office to check for follicle growth this month. I'm so nervous I don't know how I am going to sleep. I really hope that the Clomid worked better this month.
I'm still only taking 500mg of the metformin. I can't get the dosage up without feeling sick. I will have to talk to her about that tomorrow.

Last Clomid pill tonight
I took my last Clomid pill for this cycle tonight. I'm feeling postivie about this month. Even if we don't make a baby, I am at peace knowing what the problem is and that there is a way to "fix" me.
My ultrasound to check for follicle growth is Friday. Help me pray they get big & strong :)

Clomid Round 1 update
Well, After being 5 days late and 2 negative HPT's. AF finally decided to grace me with her presence. I am sad to be out of the running this month. But I am happy to have gotten my period on my own!
I will start an uped dosage of clomid on Wednesday, and have my midcycle ultra sound to check for follicle growth again.
Here's to a new cycle!
On the PCOS front, I can't take the metformin 3x. It makes me crazy sick. For now, I am taking it once and will try to work up to the higher dosage.
On the weight loss - Since starting my diet/excersise plan, I have lost 8.2 pounds. It's finally coming off!

March 4th 2009
My monthly is a no show and has been since late January. Since this is the second time this has happened here, they gave me an OB consult to try and figure out what is going on. So on the 18th, I go in to have a PAP so that by my OB appointment on the 23rd, they will have the results so that they can rule something if not anything out as to why I am still not having my period.
I just had my thyroid levels checked and they are still normal so we know it isn't that now which is good.
April 8th 2009
Today was my OB appointment to get the fertility treatment ball rolling. At least we have a plan now. She thinks I have PCOS (poly-cystic ovary syndrome). She ordered all the testing for that. Also, she believes that since I get my period on birth control, that it is not my thyroid causing my periods to go MIA. She also wants me to see a nutritionist since I am actively trying to get this extra weight off and it won't budge.
She has given me Provera to jump start my cycles and she will be doing some testing on CD3. Depending on those results, we will decide where to go from there.
May 14th 2009
My appointment this morning didn't go so well. The only lab work that came back was the TSH for my thyroid and Josh's SA. The others get mailed to the states and they aren't back yet. So it was pointless for me to go in. She said she would like to wait it out and see if I get my period on my own. Um, Newsflash lady! Every period that I've had for the last year has been medically induced. I am NOT going to have one on my own. Then she tells me that while she is happy to see that I've started a diet and have been going to the gym more, that she would like to see me add one more gym session a week. I already go 4 times a week! Plus I walk the dog, keep up with the house, and in order to make a baby, I actually have to spend time with my husband. Imagine that!
Oh & Did I mention she is Pregnant!?
May 28th 2009
So my Dr just called me. My labs are finally back. My thyroid levels are normal, My FSH is normal. and my testosterone levels are normal. WTF is wrong with me? She said my cycles were the only problem and she doesn't know why they are so long.
She put in for another roud of Provera to induce AF, then a round of Clomid. Then she will do an ultrasound to check follicle growth. If we have a good follicle, then I will get a hCG shot to trigger ovulation, Then comes the fun part.
June 25th 2009
So, as I figured. Not this month. So now we wait to see if AF shows on her own. My doctor said most women who take a round of clomid have a period on their own. I have to wait 4 weeks. If no AF or a positive HPT then She will prescribe another round of provera. She said there is still the posibility of getting pregnant this month. But the chances are very low.
And the results are finally in. I do infact have PCOS. Now I have to take metformin 3x a day..
