I O'd on my own. It was probably just a small one, but I am finally getting the 2WW signs that happen.
- Sore Nipples
- Achey ovaries
- Cramping in the Uterus area
- PMS (severe)
- Acne
I am a Happy Happy Camper!
Trying to cope with TTC and all of life's other trials... "Have you had your meds today?" Pvb. 17:22
July '98 - DH and I met for the first time
July '99 - DH and I move in together ~ and get engaged
May '00 - Married w/ mandated 3 year wait on baby ~ The only b/c used counting and CM checks
April '01 - I see the PCP, I can't stop gaining weight. I diet, eat right, nothing helps. I am healthy, stop worrying about it. I see the OB and question my long cycles, weight gain, facial hair. First love wand u/s; nothing. The doc says I am healthy, stop worrying.
June '02 - I again question the doc about my long cycles, missing periods, the 85 lbs. of extra weight in 4 years with a healthier diet. Why don't we need b/c? I am healthy, stop worrying
Aug '02 - I get the name of an OB from a friend ~ My hero. I ask about the weight gain, lack of periods, heavy periods, facial hair and why am I not pregnant we are careless not careful ~ PCOS, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Blood work to confirmed it, he Dx'd me in 3 minutes. I fall in love with my OB/GYN. :o) Metformin, chart for 4 months, come back. TTC officially begins.
March '03 - Ovulation? lol Clomid for the first time ~ 50 mg.
May '03 - 100 mg of Clomid - DH has really good s/a
June '03- 100 mg of Clomid, Metformin sucks, I become close friends w/ my toilet. Lose weight because that will help TTC. Try for a year; if no BFP, come back.
Aug '03 - Bad accident, 6 months to even have a bad sex life.
May '05 - Still struggling financially from the accident, I give up TTC. The heartbreak it is too much for me, No b/c
Feb '06 - My mother dies suddenly, the pain of her never being a grandmother is too much to handle, life is a bit out of control. I start therapy several months later
May '06 - Charting again, my PCP puts me on Actos for the PCOS and Welbutrin for depression.
Oct '06 - Go to Dr. Wonderful and w/ a plan. I am beyond his expertise; need to see a RE, PCOS specialty. I find WebMD and start learning more than I ever wanted to know about TTC and reproduction.
Nov '06 - I see the RE for the first time and like him a lot. Scheduled for my first major test, give more blood... PCOS
Jan '07 - HSG all clear, no blockage slight endo, normal range
Feb '07 - 100 mg Clomid - nothing
March '07 - 150 mg Clomid - O!
May '07 - 150 mg Clomid - O! - IUI #1 BFN
June '07 - 150 Clomid - O! S/A redone, not good, no IUI
Nov'07 - 150 mg Clomid - O! - IUI #2 BFN
Dec '07 - DH has u/s and b/w... u/s clear, no issues
Jan '08 - S/A comes back worse, low testosterone ~ 25 mg of Clomid fix the problem, hopefully. Go back in 3 months for another s/a... TAB until May 2008, no prevention.
April '08 - BFP for two days, chemical preganncy after 100 day cycle. This sucked.
May '08 - Clomid Cycle with timed BDing - BFN
June '08 - S/A improved Clomid working great but Arimidex has been added. Clomid Cycle, timed BDing. RE visit on June 26.
July - Sept '08 - RE says two medicated cycles, it no BFP, then the third IUI will be scheduled. Please, Lord, let it work.

Yay on the O! At the very least it will mean getting this show on the road, right? I'm also glad to hear they decided the fire was due to the recall.
