well, the old hag came today, but thats good. because I know my bd timing sucked, so its ok that when I ovulated on cd 26, I didnt get pg. all that matters at this point is that I did ovulate, even though it was late.
so, heres to another cycle....starting cd 1 today!

Am I pregnant?
My temps have remained elevated, even moved into triphasic!! I am tired, my boobies hurt, Im hungry....and the getting up to pee in the night is starting as of this AM...
I do hope I am!!!!! I am testing on my birthday(tuesday, 22nd) , again....but not before!! that would make me 15 dpo, which should be accurate enough!
Im trying not to get too excited, it might be that i just ovulated, and didnt get pg, but AF may arrive shortly, which would be ok, because that would definatly show me that it worked!!

Did I ovulate?
Fertility Friend gave me a coverline, and thinks I ovulated on cd 18!!!! My temps have been elevated, but no BFP's yet!!!
That would be amazing if it actually worked for me!!!! At such a low dose too!

Anxious, happy & uncertain....
Im awaiting AF to arrive...then I can map out my baby making journey. Im under a medium deal of stress from my job, some bitches who think they are wonderful, so, Im wondering, for my sanity, if I should let things go, start fresh with allowing others to mistake, just to keep my peace...I dont want major stress to restrict any ovulation that may occur here soon!
................I am a patient person, just not when it comes to something I want more than life itself...I have been waiting 7 yrs (since seriously TTC)...whats another 6 months???
ARRRGGGGHHH.... ***********Breathe...in, out, in out....****************

Seeing the RE soon..
I am now officially on my health insurance!!! The problem is, Im scared. Afraid that what I need wont be covered by the health insurance, and I will have this enormous bill...I checked into the cost of Clomiphene, and according to my insurance its covered at a $7 copay. My prometrium I have a RX for is covered at a $15 dollar copay. Cheaper than the regular price of like $20-25.
I guess the best thing to do is to go for it. That is how I get things done, as scary as it is.
With my new posistion at work, Assist. Manager, it shouldnt be as hard to get by with this added finance.
Im exxcited!! Very excited!! Im truly hoping that I can get a sample of Viagra for Chris. I want him to be up and going if the time approaches!!
Im depressed lately. Depressed that that other woman is pregant, though I should be happy for her! Its hard..she has what I only dream about..a baby growing inside of her...but not without her own share of hardship....so, I guess it can work...if you apply yourself.
I feel out of control with my infertility....

My Journey
My name is Heather, and I am now almost 31 yrs old. My husbands name is Christopher, and he is 29.
We met almost 9 years ago, and have been married 6 1/2 yrs.
I have been on and off of BCP's since I was 14 for abnormal periods, but they didnt become dormant until I was 24. That was the year we ttc for the first time, on purpose. I had just got off bcp's in April of that year (1998), and when no AF came by June, I saw the DR.
She diagnosed my condition as having PCOS...Polycystic (multiple cysts) Ovarian (on ovaries) Sydrome.
I had multiple lab tests done, and saw a specialist once. July 25th of that year, we got married.
I was put on Prometrium (a natural progesterone in pill form) in August of that year.
I began checking my fertility signs around that time, and taking my temps each AM.
My chart at that time indicated a definite ovulation pattern, and when my AF didnt arrive about 17 dpo, I saw the Dr. for a pregnancy test. It was positive! I had a due date of June 1st, 1999.
I was spotting that weekend before the test, and the midwife said that could be normal. I knew something about this was wrong, so she ordered an u/s, which showed an empty sac. I had what they refer to as a blighted ovum. I was devastated to the point of suicide, but instead I went into a major depression, and gained about 100lbs in just a years time. Which did not help my infertility pcos problem at all.
It is now 6 1/2 yrs later, and I have been ttc again for the past year.
I recently got on health insurance, and plan to see the Reproductive Endocrinologist very soon.
My hope are not up, at all. But I have to try in spite of that.
I recently got promoted to Assistant Manager at a group home I work at, and that helps matters financially a bit.
This is my journey .....I will post my hardships, my joys, my appointments, etc... My medication list will change accordingly.
Thanks for your interest in my story...
